### Peer-to-peer payments

ASEs implementing the Open Payments standard and API create a peer-to-peer payment network, which allows developers to build payments into their applications using a single API. Thus, developers do not have to build custom integrations for each ASE, and users of their applications can send funds from their Open Payments-enabled accounts to another Open Payments-enabled account, even if the recipient uses a different ASE. For more details, refer to the [one-time payment guide](/guides/make-onetime-payment).
A peer-to-peer payment is a type of payment made directly from one person to another via a linked funding source. When ASEs implement the Open Payments standard, applications can call the Open Payments APIs to facilitate peer-to-peer payments. Having a standard means app developers can avoid building custom integrations for each ASE. Plus, app users can hold funding accounts with different Open Payments-enabled ASEs and even use different Open Payments-enabled applications to make peer-to-peer payments.

A peer-to-peer payment can be one-time or recurring. For more information on building an Open Payments client that supports either type, refer to the [one-time payment](/guides/make-onetime-payment) and [recurring payments](/guides/make-recurring-payments) guides.
