Overview
Real-time payments have been available to U.S. financial institutions since 2017 with the launch of the RTP network by The Clearing House. FedNow, the Federal Reserve instant payments network, launched in July 2023, providing another option for FIs to offer capabilities to meet the growing demand for modernized commercial payments products. The focus in the commercial sector has been on account-to-account instant payments, and Javelin Strategy & Research views this as a key area for banks’ ongoing revenue growth in payments. This research paper discusses the current state of instant payments, reviews commercial use cases, and details the benefits and challenges associated with various options for launching this latest payment instrument.
