Integration provides Q2 Instant Payments Manager with connection to both Clearing House RTP® and Federal Reserve FedNow℠ instant payment rails

Q2 Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: QTWO), a leading provider of digital transformation solutions for financial services, today announced Open Payment Network (OPN) as its first partner to deliver integration for Q2 Instant Payments Manager, a solution designed to help financial institutions manage instant payment workflows. As a payment network operator that interoperates with Clearing House RTP® and Federal Reserve FedNow℠, OPN provides connectivity to both instant payment rails directly within Q2’s Digital Banking Platform.

"OPN was selected as the first integration partner for Q2 Instant Payments Manager due to the organization’s technical expertise, deep industry knowledge and ability to scale and support the full instant payments message set for our customers and their business clients," said Q2 VP of Product Management Anthony Ianniciello. "Together, we will empower banks and credit unions with modern, end‑to‑end payments capabilities—strengthening their competitive position in today’s crowded commercial banking landscape.”

According to the Federal Reserve, 74% of businesses expect their primary financial institution to offer faster or instant payment services. Q2 Instant Payments Manager improves the way billers and payers process B2B payments by providing business customers with the ability to include invoice data within instant payment messages.

"We are excited to partner with Q2 to provide our customers with 24/7/365 instant payments capabilities, fully integrated into our digital banking ecosystem,” said Orange Bank Senior Vice President and Chief Innovation Officer Anthony Pili. “With Q2 Instant Payments Manager and OPN’s hands-on expertise, we are positioned to continue serving as a leader in payments innovation. The solution ensures we can deliver a seamless, reliable, and modern payment experience that meets the evolving needs of our business clients."

Integration for Q2 Instant Payments Manager into Q2’s Digital Banking Platform is enabled via Q2 Innovation Studio through connection partners such as OPN and others. This allows financial institutions to rapidly deploy the technology needed to support the full instant payment message set, including Request for Payment, Request for Information, Credit Transfer and Receipt Confirmation messages, directly within the end user’s digital banking experience.

“We’re honored to be the first to integrate with Q2’s powerful Instant Payments Manager,” said Open Payment Network Chief Revenue Officer Robert Lewis. “The customer has always been at the heart of everything we do, and with this integration, we are able to provide faster payment capabilities to a much broader segment of the banking world.”
