The pandemic has accelerated existing trends within payments towards electronic and digital methods. Initiatives like ISO 20022 and SWIFT GPI will further standardise both domestic and international payments. Real-time payments have been realised in Europe through a regulatory led approaching culminating in the Second Payments Directive (PSD2).
In North America, a market-led approach is bringing many different payment systems into the mix. TCH and Zelle hope to bring real-time payments into the US market, while the Federal Reserve has also recently launched its own payments service, Fed Now. The Middle East and Asia also see a market-led approach to developing real-time payment infrastructure. Start-ups like Grab in South East Asia look to capitalise on the region’s lack of history with traditional banking.
Non-traditional financial institutions will have the benefit of adopting new standards and technology without being weighted down by an old legacy system. However, adhering to new global standardisation is not without its challenges.
In this webinar, we will take a closer look at global payment trends, the real-time payment solutions around the world and the use cases of real-time payments.
