Adding another payment type shouldn’t mean adding another silo. Yet many banks are managing the RTP® network, the FedNow® Service, ACH, wires, Zelle®, and other payment types across separate systems—and emerging technologies like stablecoins and tokenized deposits could add even more complexity. The bigger question is how banks can modernize their infrastructure to adopt what’s next without rebuilding their payment environment each time.
On November 3, 2026, at 2 p.m. ET, join Alacriti’s Mark Majeske, SVP of faster payments, and Paul Steinbrecher, director of payments consulting, for a discussion on how banks can simplify today’s payment infrastructure while creating a flexible foundation for new rails, technologies, and forms of digital money.
The discussion will answer:
- Are more rails creating more problems? What should banks consider before adding their next payment capability?
- What changes when instant payments move from Receive to Send? How should banks think differently about the opportunities, use cases, and business case?
- Do all payment rails deserve equal investment? How can banks prioritize based on customer needs, use cases, and business objectives?
- Where does digital money actually fit? What role could stablecoins and tokenized deposits play alongside today’s payment rails?
- Which payments decisions are hardest to undo? How can the infrastructure choices banks make today expand—or limit—their options tomorrow?
