Abstract

See full text

A method, system, apparatus, and computer program for conducting a real-time payment settlement transaction. The method includes determining a prefunded requirement for one or more financial institutions. A prefunded balance is stored, based on a prefunded payment received in a separate funding account, for each of the one or more financial institutions. The method further includes receiving an electronic request for payment message from at least one creditor financial institution, and forwarding the electronic request for payment message to at least one debtor financial institution, the electronic request for payment message requesting that a payment be made to the at least one creditor financial institution and comparing the amount of payment requested in an electronic payment transaction to the prefunded balance of the at least one debtor financial institution. A real-time financial settlement transaction is performed based on a result of the comparing step.
