Is the era of A2A payments about to begin?

At EBAday 2024, Simone Del Guerra, Head of Central Institutions & International Sales, Nexi Group, talks about the development of A2A payments and how instant payments will be the catalyst for A2A payments in Europe. A2A payments are currently fragmented due to the user experience at point of sale not being as efficient as more popular payment methods such as credit cards or digital wallets and customers also do not have the knowledge of or trust in A2A payments. However, successful case studies from across the globe tend to be based on instant payments, driving home the fact that perhaps these two types of payment should be connected, particularly because this will in turn, push forward standardisation of overlay services such as Request to Pay, database proxy and use of QR codes.

2025 - 2030: Predictions for Real-Time Payments, ISO20022 and APIs

At EBAday 2024, Akshat Saharia, Head of European Financial Institutions Product and Propositions, Global Payments Solutions, HSBC discusses the biggest changes to occur across the cross-border payments landscape in the next five years. While 90% of cross-border transactions complete in 30 mins, the other 10% can be delayed, resulting in frustration and a lack of transparency. Robust change will be seen with real-time payment schemes opening up for cross-border payments. In turn, with ISO20022 being mandated from November 2025, banks in the world will be operating with enhanced data, standardised information and LEIs which will significantly enhance STP and reduce costs. Digital transformation through the use of APIs will also bolster end-to-end connectivity, paving the way for value-added services offering increased transparency and verification with Confirmation of Payee.
