Florida-based EverBank recently partnered with FIS to provide FIS People Pay, a person-to-person transfer service, to its clients.

People Pay enables users to pay anyone with an email address or mobile phone number, and recipients can receive funds directly to their bank account, or via gift card, check or through integration with other P2P payment networks, according to a press release. All transactions are instantly debited directly from the sender's account. People Pay uses FIS' PayNet network, which powers instant funds movement between deposit accounts of consumers and businesses.

"EverBank clients want to be able to quickly send payments online or from their mobile phones to friends, family or colleagues, using just an email or mobile number, and they trust us to provide those payment services safely and securely," said Vincent Amato, EverBank senior vice president and director of banking operations, in the announcement. "FIS People Pay allows us to provide such a service, fully branded to our bank, so our clients have the safe, secure payment services they're looking for."
