Faster Payments versus Real-Time Payments
11
Faster Payments
Accelerated payments
from established schedules
e.g., reducing payment
times between different
banks' customer accounts
from days to same day
ACH
Real-Time Payments
Instant or immediate payments; an
interbank account to account payment
posted and confirmed to receiver and
originator in less than a minute
60 seconds
12. http://www.qinsights.net
Payments can be made 24 x 7 x 365 – not all systems operate at these
levels, but process payments nearly every day during specified times
Completed instantaneously – majority within 1 minute
Finality – cannot be reversed
Certainty – confirmed as either completed or rejected
ISO 20022 – underpinning standard of many payments systems
