To celebrate Banking Week, we teed up two industry experts to chat about real-time payments in the US and the EU. In this episode, Jessica Cheney discusses balancing caution with tremendous opportunity in the context of real-time payment adoption in the US, sharing her views on how banks that are too cautious and slow to pull the trigger face becoming laggards and losing their competitive advantage. In a follow-on episode next week, Fred Viard continues the topic of real-time payment adoption but looks at it in the context of the EU.
