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.
Scale payment volumes

Win customers through superior client services
Our white label digital platform equips Payment Service Providers to implement their own branded Request to Pay digital payment service.
In June 2020, Answer Pay became the first certified provider of Request to Pay services, and the first to complete live transactions.
Answer Pay was founded to meet the growing needs of businesses and workers in the gig economy.
We’re passionate about the economic and societal potential of digital payments; their ability to democratise fair billing practices, help to share wealth and stimulate economic growth.
