Free webinar: Real-time payments – how can your business benefit
Date: Thursday, December 02, 2021
Time: 03:00 PM Greenwich Mean Time
Duration: 1 hour
The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically accelerated change in the payments industry. Digital payments have soared as the world has worked and played from home.
Innovation has ramped up as the payments industry has raced to meet demand and develop new products and services. And organisations’ resilience has come under greater stress as they scramble to meet their payments obligations while mitigating risks such as cyber threats.
New research from FIS suggests that as businesses look to focus on recovery from the pandemic, there is widespread acceptance that now is the time to invest in new payments innovations and upgrade capabilities.
In particular, real-time payments are at an inflection point. Demand from customers and suppliers is growing, and providers are now overcoming their previous challenges of fragmentation and technology blockages. As the real-time payments model matures, it looks set to be at the heart of the next stage of payments innovation.
So what are the main benefits and use cases of real-time payments and how can businesses take advantage of this new payments model?
In this FinTech Futures’ free webinar on 2 December 2021, financial experts will explore:
- The evolution of the payments industry and where real-time payments fit in
- The benefits and drivers of real-time payments and their growing importance to the industry
- Use case scenarios, including cross-border payments
- Steps you can take to innovate your payments processes
