The Rise of Real-Time Requirements - What does it mean to be Real-Time Ready?

New instant payment volumes continue to grab headlines, but the reality is that payments have always been driving towards real-time. As customers everywhere adapt to a digital-first world their expectations of real-time experiences create payments modernization challenges for banks, processors and acquirers. Real-time responses, authorizations, fraud prevention, balance enquiries and more all necessitate real-time ready systems. 

In this panel leading global experts dive into the challenges and opportunities of real-time payments modernization.

Join globally-recognised digital payments and identity thought leader, Dave Birch, as he explores the next big opportunity for banks, processors, acquirers and networks riding the real-time wave, in the short, near and long-term.

Pushing Payments Modernization: The Role of Regulation, Collaboration and Competition

Standing-up new real-time schemes or modernizing existing platforms is perhaps the most important piece in the payments modernization puzzle. But it is not a case of ‘build it and they will come’. So how can non-participants work together to drive adoption and deliver the benefits anticipated?  

In this panel representatives from central banks, networks, clearing and settlement mechanisms and industry bodies discuss the role of regulation, collaboration and competition in delivering successful payments modernization.
