FSS LaunchesInstant Payments to AccelerateGrowth of Digital Transactions
FSS, a Payments and Fintech leader, today, announced the launch of its Instant Payments system, a central payment clearing and settlement infrastructure for instant domestic and international money transfers.
Instantaneity is at the heart of the most successful global payment system, until date, i.e., cash, with digital transactions forming a mere 20% of total transactions.A predominant reason for low adoption is that current payment rails are expensive and non-real-time. FSS Instant Payments allows regulators to build low-cost payment rails foruniversal, fast, secure and affordable push and pull payment transactions.
FSS Instant Payments allows financial institutions to provide improved services tocustomers. This includes:
- initiate and receive payments 24 hours a day, any day of the year, including weekends and public holidays;
- make payments using any payment instrument a�� bank accounts, walletsand cards;
- immediate settlement and availability of funds; and
- address payments in a relatively simple way
FSS Instant Payments supports quick on-ramp to the central payment infrastructure, with its Financial Messaging Gateway for payment service providers (PSPs).The Financial Messaging Gateway enablesPSPs to expose application programing interfaces to monetize infrastructure investments and deploy innovative overlay services that deliver real customer value. Based on regional market trends, the potential use cases span–person-to-person, person-to-business and business-to-business payments.
