Answer Pay helps banks and payment service providers to grow payments using Request to Pay

 

Request to Pay (RTP) is a digitised bill payment experience that makes payment initiation easier for both billers and payers.

Our certified “payments as a service” platform connects banks and financial services to the Request to Pay network. Our clients save money on building new tech infrastructure, refocusing resources on creating differentiated customer experiences in their apps that help grow payment volumes and customer satisfaction.

 

Our infrastructure lets billers request payments digitally, collect faster and reconcile easier

We help you launch your own Request to Pay service, overcoming the technical hurdles.

We equip banks and financial services providers with the power to make digital payments faster and easier by offering a flexible, low-cost solution to bill payment.

The simplest way to make payments is to settle a digital payment request via a trusted mobile app.

  • Always low, predictable fees
  • Reduced transaction fees for billers
  • Minimised fraud risk
  • When we say our integration is painless, that’s precisely what we mean
  • We meet all GDPR compliance and data security requirements
  • We’re certified to comply with the UK’s Request to Pay standard
