GhIPSS Instant Pay Corporate

1. What is GhIPSS Instant Pay (GIP)?

GhIPSS Instant Pay (GIP) is a real time interbank account-to-account credit transfer service. It allows funds to be sent across financial institutions electronically from one bank account to the other as a single immediate payment.

The service is provided by financial Institutions through Internet banking for Corporate Institutions and Mobile banking, Internet banking, ATM and Teller services for individual customers.

GIP can be used by both Businesses & Individuals for payments of goods & services.

2. GIP Use Cases for Corporate Institutions

a. Collections: GIP is just like cash, but better. It is ideal for business collections because, it does not involve physical cash, yet the payment is instant and the seller or service provider has instant access to funds lodged in their bank account. It facilitates Manufacturer - Distributor / Distributor-Retailer / Retailer-Customer transactions based on the “Cash and Carry" business model.

b. Payments: GIP enables quick and fast payments to government, business partners, suppliers, service providers and individuals. It allows the payer's account to be debited instantly and the recipient's account credited instantly.
GIP is a lifeline to deadline payments!

Payment Options:
Business-to-Business (B2B) – Payment from one business entity to the other

Business-to-person (B2P) - transfer of funds from a business entity to an individual

Person-to-business (P2B) Ad hoc / regular payments from customers to business entities e.g. service provider.
