Citi’s Real Time Bill Payment Solution Now Connects Institutions With Consumers

“Building on its position as the world’s leading instant payments bank, Citi’s Treasury and Trade Solutions (TTS) division now facilitates digital bill payment for both institutional billers and their consumer customers via the RTP© network, the real-time payment system from The Clearing House (TCH). With this capability, Citi’s institutional clients in the U.S. can send electronic bills (e-bills) via Request for Payment (RfP) messages to retail account holders at Citi and other participating banks. Consumers, meanwhile, benefit from the flexibility to pay their bills immediately, at any time of day, 365 days a year, with greater control over their finances to help avoid overdraft fees.”
