Real-Time Payments

The RTP^® network is a new payment infrastructure in the U.S. that enables consumers and businesses to send and receive immediate domestic funds transfers between accounts at financial institutions 24/7 up to $100,000.

RTP payments settle within seconds, including weekends and bank holidays.  Like wire transfers, RTP payments deliver immediate funds availability and cannot be reversed without the receivers consent.

In addition, senders and receivers can exchange messages through the RTP network requesting and providing information about a payment, acknowledging a payment received and more.  Real-Time payments are supported through Comerica Treasury Payments for both sending and receiving payments and their associated messages.
