Payments Modernization

For an agile, reliable, and scalable payment solution

There are a plethora of changes that are driving the North American payments industry. The modernization of existing rails - FedNow, FedWire (ISO20022), SWIFT (ISO20022) - and emerging new rails, such as Real-Time Rails (RTR), API-based banking payment as a service, embedded finance, DiFi, open banking, have mandated banks to embark on the journey of agility, product innovation, simplified, and optimized payment landscape. The modern ecosystem will enable banks to introduce new products, improve existing product offerings, and rapidly innovate with accelerated time to market, thereby keeping pace with the industry.
