Making Real-Time Payments a Reality
The Making Real-Time Payments a Reality Report: Rising Demand for Real-Time Payments, a PYMNTS and Mastercard collaboration, seeks to better understand how the attitudes of U.S. businesses toward Real-Time Payments have changed since its launch, and how these may drive greater adoption of the payment system in the future. The Report is based on a survey of more than 500 U.S. financial executives from businesses across a range of sectors, including finance, retail and technology.
Inside the January report:
- 66.7 percent of firms consider themselves “very” or “extremely” aware of Real-Time Payments.
- 71.9 percent of firms are “very” or “extremely” interested in implementing the system.
- 85.3 percent of firms are either in the process of implementing RTP or expect to do so within the next three years.
