This post is part of our live coverage of FinovateFall 2013.
Next, Fiserv stepped up to demo how it can help financial institutions provide a real-time payments solution to their clients:
“Financial institutions are challenged to meet the ticking clock of consumer expectations for a real‐time payments experience. The Popmoney personal payment service from Fiserv fulfills that need with Instant Payments, a new value-added feature offering real-time delivery of funds.
Popmoney lets people send, request, and receive money using an email address or mobile phone number. Traditionally, Popmoney has only been able to deliver payments via the ACH network, which works great for most payments. Funds settle in 1 to 3 business days.
The Instant Payments feature, which is now available for financial institutions, uses the debit card networks to deliver funds in real-time – 24/7, 365 days a year. Recipients have access to funds literally in seconds.”
