3 For new businesses on Forwardly, the first few payments will be received more slowly, within a standard 3-5 business day format if the sender’s bank is connected via Plaid.
4 Card fees may be applied to the client or vendor based on the vendor’s business policy.

Instant payments in the United States, pivotal for business payment solutions use the Federal Reserve’s FedNow® Service and The Clearing House’s RTP® to transfer money in seconds between banks, anytime outside of bank hours. Forwardly uses both services to help businesses request money from their clients and receive it in seconds, 24/7/365.

Many B2B payment providers offer same-day ACH payments as a luxury payment method and charge a high fee to send money fast. At Forwardly, where we see payments processed in seconds, same-day ACH payments aren’t a luxury to us. We only believe in charging for payments that transfer instantly.

Forwardly accounts are completely free! We don’t charge a subscription fee to create an account or access rolling our cash flow forecasts.

Forwardly only supports modern payment options: Instant and Same-Day ACH. When receiving money, we always prioritize sending Instant payments first and only offer our Standard Same-Day ACH payments for banks that don’t support Instant.

When you send a payment request, your client can either pay as a guest by securely connecting their bank account or create a Forwardly account to choose how they send the funds.

At this time, Forwardly is only available for US domestic payments.
