JP Morgan, a multinational investment bank and financial services company, has announced the launch of a real-time payments platform called 'Request for Pay.' The company intends for the new platform to handle global digital payments, providing it a competitive edge within the crowded investment bank space.
The new product will allow clients to send out payment requests to the bank's massive contact lists of retail clients who use its app or website. This means that clients can cut the time and cost it takes for those companies to get paid. “Our job is to give multiple different payment types so corporates and merchants can provide the right options to their customers,” said JP Morgan's global head of real-time payments, Cyrus Bhathawalla.
