Real time is the order of the day, and while real time payments come more and more to the fore globally, payment providers need to get up to speed in being able to offer them to their clients and end users, but also to ensure they are deployed and implemented in a fully robust, resilient and secure environment.
With real time payments comes real time fraud and the opportunities for value on both sides of the fence is eye-wateringly vast.
