Instant payments are becoming a reality, driven in large part by consumers’ and business’ desire for payments that settle in seconds.

For financial institutions, the benefits of instant payments include the ability to offer new revenue generating mobile and online P2P payment options, improve customer satisfaction and retention, reduce costs and risks, and minimize the volume of payments traveling through closed-loop payments systems that disintermediate banks.
