As instant payments continue to gain speed, they are already drastically changing the way consumers and businesses operate. At what point will members opt to send instant payments in lieu of cards, wires, ACH or checks? Then there's P2P payments, which are in high demand, but overly complicated and fraud-ridden. According to Forbes (November 2023), total P2P transactions are expected to top $2.3 trillion annually by 2026. Yet, despite the popularity of platforms like PayPal, Venmo, and Zelle, they suffer from issues such as sender-receiver incompatibility and rising fraud rates. With total P2P fraud losses surging to an estimated $1.7 billion in 2022, and nearly half of consumers unsure where to make a P2P payment (Forbes; November 2023), credit unions need a better path forward.

Join us for this webcast as we explore how instant payments are already changing the member experience and the innovative instant and P2P payments solutions that are empowering credit unions to take their payments strategy to the next level. Attendees will:
