Real-time payments have allowed consumers and
businesses to experience how beneficial, fast, and easy
payments can be. These innovations have also raised the
bar when it comes to expectations of cross-border money
movement experiences. Individuals and businesses want
and need rapid access to funds, as well as transparency,
regardless of where payments originate.
Real-time payments also change the dynamic of the
relationship between buyers, sellers, and services by
delivering more immediate access to value. And, they
increasingly allow customers and businesses to gain greater
control over their finances.
Banks, FinTechs, remitters, and other entities in the
payments ecosystem that can deliver on these evolving
expectations stand to grow and thrive in an increasingly
global economy.
Visa clients and other cross-border users need quick transactions and payments that are
integrated into all relevant digital payment flows. Much of the existing, legacy technology
used by many organizations, however, is increasingly challenged to support next-generation
cross-border money movement expectations and keep pace with changing regulatory
requirements. Adding to the challenges, modern technology is often not compatible with
legacy infrastructure, requiring organizations to make huge investments in time and
resources. Additionally, it is cost-and time-intensive to build, operate, and manage a
modern money movement platform.
