The limit of instant payment usage at the pont-of-sale is described as the merchant providing the customer with the IBAN to make the instant payment to. Request-to-Pay is described as the solution to this problem.But this only shifts the problem from one side to the other. Now the customer must provide the merchant with the IBAN ro which the merchant has to send the Request-to-Pay. Far simpler would be for the mercahnt to provide he customer at the point-of-sahe with a QR code containing all details for the instant payment to be made. The customer pick this QR code up in his mobile banking app and intiates an nstant payent to the merchant. This would be a simple and frictionless process.
