### Manage marketplace platform payments.
 Your online exchange platform has a website that customers use to buy and sell pre-owned vehicles. Today, your platform has limited options for customers to receive payments. The Payee Choice API gives your payees more payment options and lets them set up their payment preferences. Payments can be received by using Zelle®, electronic funds transfer, prepaid debit card or check. Payees quickly receive a payment and can use it toward their vehicle purchase on the platform.

### Ensure payment certainty for insurance claim disbursements.
Your insurance company needs a frictionless payment solution that distributes claims to your customers quickly. Outstanding check payments have increased and caused delays to your month-end accounting process and required stale checks to be reissued. After integrating your claims payment system with the Payee Choice API, your company sees an increase of Zelle® and Real-Time Payments (RTP) payments, customer satisfaction scores increase, accounting and treasury departments spend less time on account reconciliation and fewer checks are reissued.

Example use cases

- Companies wishing to implement Payee Choice must meet credit qualifications for payables products.
- Payments sent over the RTP payment rails are limited to $1 million per payment request.


Restrictions

Payee Choice

The Payee Choice API allows you to integrate applications and initiate payment requests directly out of an application while minimizing the risk of stale payments. Once U.S. Bank receives a payment request, payees are empowered to create a payment profile and manage how payments are controlled and received. Once a payment preference is selected, U.S. Bank will process a payment request, ensuring a payee receives funds based on their preference type. Payments can be made through ACH electronic transfer, prepaid cards, Zelle®, RTP® - Real-Time Payments and check.
