What is the biggest impact of instant payments for banks?
Payments so far have been in the complete control of a bank’s operations team. They could hold payments for several hours to make liquidity arrangements, repair erroneous payments and retry them, change schemes to bypass cut-off requirements, and so on. In effect, they had complete manual control over the payments. However, instant payments demand real-time processing 24/7/365. Banks need to move away from slow, batch-based, manual processing to fully straight-through-processing (STP) systems that can perform payments data enrichment, method of payment (MOP) selection etc in real-time with complete automation.
