The process for requesting payments via FedNow with all banks might be as follows:

Set Up FedNow Access: Ensure that you have access to the FedNow service. This may involve creating an account or integrating with a financial institution that offers FedNow access.

Get Recipient Information: Obtain the necessary payment details from the recipient. This typically includes their full name, bank account number, and the name of their bank.

Check for FedNow Support: Verify that the recipient's bank supports the FedNow Real-Time Payments service. Not all banks may offer this service immediately after its launch, so you may need to check the Federal Reserve's website or consult with your bank or the recipient's bank for a list of participating institutions.

Choose Payment Channel: Determine the channel through which you want to initiate the payment. FedNow payments can be made through various channels, such as online banking platforms, mobile banking apps, or directly through connected financial systems.

Initiate the Payment: Using your chosen payment channel, follow the steps to initiate a payment. This will likely involve providing the recipient's bank account information, the payment amount, and any relevant payment references.

Verify Payment: Before confirming the payment, double-check all the provided information to avoid errors. Real-time payments are typically irrevocable, so it's crucial to ensure accuracy.

Confirmation and Notifications: Once the payment is sent, you should receive confirmation of the transaction. The recipient's bank should also provide a notification to the recipient about the incoming payment.

Recipient Acknowledgment: The recipient should acknowledge receipt of the payment, which may depend on the notification method offered by their bank.

It's essential to note that the specific steps and procedures for initiating FedNow payments may vary depending on the financial institution you're using and the recipient's bank. As the service may still be relatively new, it's best to contact your bank's customer support or check their website for the most up-to-date information and guidance on making FedNow Real-Time Payments.
