Cash management - liquidity - financial markets - infrastructure - remittances.
A payment rail is an infrastructure that supports and enables remittances and settlement.
- Rails coexistence and interaction will optimise solutions
- "Currently, payment rails are predicated upon a centralized model.
- Furthermore, new, transformative rails - such as the Real-Time Payments (RTP®) network in the US, Australia’s New Payments Platform (NPP) and the Faster Payments network in the UK - are restricted in terms of the value that can be transferred.
- This is an issue for wholesale payments in particular, where values significantly exceed such ceilings...
- ... we believe that no one initiative or technology is a silver bullet for delivering optimized payments—nor is there one path that will take us there.
- It is a combination of capabilities that will enable payments and settlements to be truly optimized.
- Going forward, the industry will see coexistence and interaction between traditional rails, the more established emerging technologies and the new landscape of digital currencies.
- Digital tokens and fiat money will coexist, with different rails and channels remaining relevant, supporting different payment needs and delivering value."
