The Problem

Insurers and investment firms still send time-sensitive consumer disbursements through payment methods constrained by processing windows and delayed confirmation. Moving these payments onto real-time rails requires more than a technical connection: teams must select eligible transactions, manage liquidity, route exceptions, reconcile confirmations, and retain traditional rails where real-time payment offers little benefit.

Potential Solution

Provide a fixed-scope assessment and implementation service for one disbursement workflow, beginning with claims, refunds, or brokerage account distributions. The service maps the existing process, defines payment eligibility and fallback rules, coordinates integration with the buyer's bank or payment processor, establishes reconciliation and exception procedures, and manages a controlled production pilot. Delivery can later become a repeatable implementation package with reusable operating templates and lightweight integration components.

Why Now?

Consumers increasingly expect immediate access to funds, while banks and payment processors are making real-time payment capabilities available to more businesses. Corporate adoption remains constrained by operational and liquidity questions, creating demand for implementation expertise rather than another general payment platform.

Takin’ care of business (every working hour) - the RTR reality

The PayPod But at the same point, there are enough large scale providers out there. There's a lot of large scale tech companies that are actually recognizing and realizing the demand of RTP and gravitating to that as the fundamental of the payment processing engines that they have and the businesses that they run. And they're starting with that. But I think for the general corporate treasurer, there's a point in time where RTP and all the implications that come with it actually help them. And then there's still traditional methods, traditional payment rails that will continue to operate and continue to sustain other core aspects of the business.Jude Leclerc: I think as well, we talked about the RP, the availability, the real time and we've mentioned the data.

They're predictable. I'm going to predict my liquidity this way. I don't wake up on Saturday morning at 2:00 a.m. Saying I need to make a $10 million payment. So, where is the real time treasury, or real-time payment value, for corporate-commercial?. And you've had experience presumably with that in other jurisdictions.

Dougal Middleton

Yeah, and like it really comes down to the fact that it's not about speed, right?. It's about the value prop, it's about the other aspects of modern payments. You can pick even a modern RTGS with straight through processing that can be fairly real time. But we all gravitate to the RTP dialogue and the liquidity implications, right?.

The consumer already expects that if you're going to push funds to me, like, got, you know, those, those, those funds should come immediately. And we're already now seeing the expectation of for, for pay in use cases, you know, the expectations that your recipient receives it right away. So this is all about matching in my view, sort of like what the consumer is already

As soon as you can send me funds, at least in the UK, it was as simple as me simply pushing funds to them right then and there. He got the confirmation, in his application that the funds were received and we were done. He took down the listing, right? Like that is a world that does exist out there. And, I will say the consumer already expects that. And in some cases we're just not meeting that expectations, right? And I think if you look at the overall world of real-time payments, we're getting there when it comes to disbursements, right? Now it's really just the, odd ones out are the, are the brands that have sort of like yet to, embrace this, but the consumer is already there.

But the utility of real-time pay-ins, you know, powered by RFP, which, which transfer offers, to these sorts of customers, is that they can, they can render those services immediately, right? So this really brings us from that poll-based world, where you need to wait for funds to clear. And then there's various windows around it to, I mean, to a certain extent, the dream of where we're all trying to go, which is, push-based, irrevocable payments. And like, ultimately the objective of most companies and candidly most consumers at this point is like, as soon as I click buy, I want you to render services to me, as soon as is physically possible.
