1:25pm-2:05pmMT: Panel Session – Beyond 'Receive-Only' in Instant Payments: A Strategic Opportunity for Financial Institutions (Capitol Ballroom 1-4)
As FedNow recently celebrated its first year since launching and RTP continues to gain traction in the market, the landscape of instant payments in the US brims with potential. However, a recent survey by FPC and Finzly reveals a stark reality: two-thirds of financial institutions lack the capability to ‘send’ instant payments. Does this signal a crucial gap in capitalizing on opportunities? The success of Brazil's Pix and India's UPI in instant payments, leveraging open ecosystems and user-centric apps, highlights the need for US financial institutions to modernize their offerings, especially by including capabilities for sending instant payments. This panel aims to explore strategic pathways for enhancing ‘sending’ capabilities and navigating the evolving landscape.
