European Instant Payments Regulation: Are Banks Ready?

At EBAday 2024, Kjeld Herreman, Head of Strategy Advisory, RedCompass Labs, discusses the fast approaching deadlines and how financial institutions can be best prepared for the SEPA instant payments regulation. The conversation explores how the deadlines are short, with just nine months to ensure banks are receiving instant payments and 18 months to send instant payments. Further, ensuring Verification of Payee operates across all channels is a colossal task and with banks no longer able to charge for instant payments, the industry can expect hundreds or even thousands of friction-free transactions per second, but a lot of work needs to be completed before that point can be reached.

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.
