No longer is two-day or even next-day payment or funds movement adequate when there are many situations demanding payments posted or settled on the same day. As environmental changes like mobile transacting, comprehensive risk management, and cross-channel integration continue to evolve, the move to real?time posting — and ultimately, settlement — will become increasingly essential. This report reviews a number of emerging real-time payments initiatives that will drive the market forward to revolutionary change.
