Q2 Holdings, Inc., a leading provider of digital transformation solutions for financial institutions, has announced a strategic partnership with Open Payment Network (OPN) to integrate instant payment capabilities into its Q2 Instant Payments Manager. This collaboration provides banks and credit unions with direct connectivity to both The Clearing House’s RTP® network and the Federal Reserve’s FedNow℠ service, enabling seamless end-to-end instant payment workflows.
“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 Anthony Ianniciello, VP of Product Management at Q2. “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.”
The Federal Reserve reports that nearly 74% of U.S. businesses expect faster or real-time payment options from their primary financial institution. With this integration, Q2’s platform allows business customers to embed invoice data directly within instant payment transactions, enhancing the efficiency of B2B payment processing.

Financial institutions like Orange Bank are already embracing the benefits. “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 Anthony Pili, Senior Vice President and Chief Innovation Officer at Orange Bank.
The partnership leverages the Q2 Innovation Studio, connecting financial institutions with partners like OPN to quickly deploy instant payment features, including Request for Payment, Credit Transfer, Receipt Confirmation, and more—all within the bank’s existing digital banking environment.
“We’re honored to be the first to integrate with Q2’s powerful Instant Payments Manager,” added Robert Lewis, Chief Revenue Officer at Open Payment Network. “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.”
Q2 Instant Payments Manager is part of Q2 Catalyst, a suite of solutions designed to help banks and credit unions accelerate onboarding, strengthen client relationships, and drive profitable growth.
