Instant payments – a challenge and an opportunity for European payment stakeholders So, why am I focusing so much on instant payments today? Well, I am convinced that instant payments are the new challenge currently facing payment stakeholders in Europe. And I firmly believe that only a pan-European solution for instant payments will turn this challenge into an opportunity for Europe.
I would therefore encourage all payment service providers that have not yet implemented SCT Inst, to do so as soon as possible. In fact, instant payments may well be the game changer in the payments market, paving the way for innovative European payment solutions.
