Jack Henry™ Launches Standalone, Real-Time Person-to-Person (P2P) Payments

prnewswire

“Jack Henry™ announced today the launch of its standalone person-to-person (P2P) payments solution. Powered by the Payrailz® Digital Payments Platform, which Jack Henry acquired September 1, 2022, the P2P solution is now available for standalone implementation or as a strategic component of the full Payrailz payments platform.   Operating as the industry’s only financial institution-centric, open-loop, real-time P2P payments solution, Jack Henry’s offering provides a flexible, convenient way to send money to virtually anyone. Unlike closed-loop solutions, open-loop solutions do not require senders and receivers to belong to the same payment network. One-time and recurring payments can be made using the recipient’s mobile number or email address with flexible delivery options, split-pay functionality, good funds settlement, and the ability to credit funds to checking and savings accounts, debit cards, and Venmo accounts, with other options in development. Fraud mitigation is optimized with a multi-layered approach that includes one-time passwords (OTP) and the in-development Fraud Monitor, which will score 100% of P2P payments in real-time. This API-enabled solution can be seamlessly integrated into existing digital banking platforms.”
