2019 Outlook: U.S. Debit Cards and Alternative Products

Faster and real-time payment overlay products will launch with the potential to alter the debit card market and other traditional payments.

Years previous have been dedicated to the strategy of new payment rails and now products will emerge to serve specific use cases as direction setting is finalized and loose ends are tied. Processors, networks, financial institutions, and technology providers will begin to achieve product adoption and the impact to existing payment products will be noticeable.
