The most helpful part is that Zil Money can be used by everyone. It’s very easy to navigate. THE USER INTERFACE is very easy to learn.

It solves the problem of having various accounting software separately and unable to integrate. It allows seamless organization.

Zil Money has streamlined our payment processes and saved us both time and money. Highly recommend it to any business looking for a hassle-free and cost-effective payment solution!”

“I primarily use their online check writer platform. I like it because it’s easy to use and allows multiple options for remitting payment to someone (print a check, mail a check, email a check, direct ACH transfer, etc.). Their fees are also really low. My bank started charging to use bill pay services. I switched all of it to online check writer because their fee to mail a check is much lower than what my bank charges to mail a check through their bill pay service.”

Common questions about real-time payments.

Quick answers to help you decide.

How fast are real-time payments? +

Payments typically complete in about 10 seconds from click to confirmation. Fast enough to send payment during a phone call and have confirmation before conversation ends. You'll see instant confirmation once the payment is accepted by the recipient's bank through the RTP ® network.

What does it cost? +

Two options: (1) Pay standard RTP processing fees of $0.50-2.00 per transaction, or (2) Pre-load Zil Money Wallet and pay zero fees per eligible transaction.* Most businesses choose option 2. Same wallet also unlocks zero fees on eligible ACH* and check* payments.

Can I send money at 2 AM on Sunday? +

Yes. Real-time payments work 24/7/365—nights, weekends, holidays. 2 AM Sunday = same speed and same zero wallet fees on eligible transactions* as 2 PM Tuesday.

What if recipient's bank doesn't support RTP? +

System checks before you send and tells you immediately. If their bank doesn't participate (about 35% don't yet), you see alternatives: same-day ACH or standard ACH—most also zero fees when sent from wallet balance on eligible transactions.*

Is this secure? +

Real-time payments use bank-level security: 256-bit encryption, multi-factor authentication, fraud monitoring, SOC 2 certification. Once delivered and confirmed, RTP payments are final and cannot be reversed—both parties get certainty. Your wallet funds have the same protection as your bank account.

Can I reverse a payment after sending? +

During submission (a few seconds), yes. After delivery confirmation, no — payment is final and irrevocable. This finality protects both parties. Recipient can trust the money. You can move on to the next task.

What are the payment limits? +

Limits depend on your account verification level and recipient bank limits. Most RTP transactions range from small amounts to several thousand dollars. Contact us for specific limits based on your business needs.

Does wallet pre-loading only help with RTP? +

No. Your pre-loaded Zil Money Wallet unlocks zero fees on eligible transactions* across multiple methods: real-time payments, standard ACH, digital checks, and more. One wallet pre-load eliminates transaction fees across your payment operation on eligible transactions.*

Can I get money back from the wallet? +

Yes, transfer back to your bank account anytime. Wallet isn't a lock-in—it's a convenience. Most businesses keep 1-2 weeks of payment capacity in wallet, transfer more as needed.

How much can I actually save? +

Depends on your payment volume. Example: 100 real-time payments yearly at $1.50 average = $150 saved.* Plus, same wallet gives you zero fees on eligible ACH payments* (saving $3-5 each) and eligible checks* (saving $5-8 each). Total savings often exceed $1,000 annually for active businesses.*

Are there verification or eligibility requirements? +

Yes. All transactions are subject to verification, account approval, and compliance review. Real-time payments require both sender and recipient banks to participate in the RTP® network, and certain payments may be subject to limits or restrictions.*
