Share to Facebook X Linkedin Instagram Threads Email Save The Rise of P2P Payments: In today’s digital-first world, consumers increasingly expect fast, convenient, and secure payment experiences. Peer-to-peer (P2P) payments have emerged as a popular choice for individuals and businesses alike, offering a seamless and efficient way to send and receive money. According to PYMNTS, 51% of Americans are using P2P regularly and consumers are expecting their primary financial institutions to offer P2P capabilities. The Challenges of Payment Systems Many financial institutions and fintechs struggle with the outsized resources and investment required to individually integrate with multiple, in-demand real-time movement networks. Traditional payment processing platforms can be complex and time-consuming to integrate with P2P networks, limiting organizations’ ability to offer these valuable services to their customers. 89% of financial institutions believe that not offering real-time payments will negatively impact their business. This fragmented landscape creates significant hurdles, hindering their ability to offer consumers and SMBs the seamless and efficient payment experiences they expect. In fact, research shows that 75% of US consumers use some form of faster payments. The complexity and cost associated with these integrations can limit innovation and slow down growth.
