Real-Time/Fast Payments

Real Time Payments and faster payments are a top agenda item -- according to a recent survey more than 71% of businesses are ‘very’ or ‘extremely’ interested in RTP capabilities. And it is not just a high priority from the business side -- individual’s expectations are shifting to include faster and real-time payments. This has been a long-time coming, with the widespread adoption of P2P apps like Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, and Big Tech like Facebook adding integrated payment options. However, pandemic trends have created the perfect storm to create an opportunity to advance this even more -- as in-person payments decline. While there is still work to be done to come to a widespread RTP reality, the groundwork has been laid, and the future is coming sooner rather than later.
