Instant Payments conference

Instant payments delivers real time value, increase payment efficiency and boosts innovation. Instant payments initiatives was initially centred around domestic retail payments but with raising expectations it has evolved into the Corporate, B2B segment and Cross-Border space. Besides regulations, (such as PSD2) are also driving more momentum and adding new business models. Today’s customers expect to pay for and receive their purchases as in real-time. Suppliers, on the other hand, also wish to have the certainty to be paid as soon as they release their goods/services. Regulators and central authorities are also promoting digitalisation of the economy, and fair competition through Instant Payments. A pan-European version of instant payment is indispensable in the global payments landscape to meet the rapidly increasing expectations and immediacy of payment options.
