The RTP® network. FedNow® Service. ACH. Wires. Zelle®. Visa Direct. Stablecoins. For many banks, the challenge isn’t deciding whether to modernize—it’s deciding where to start, which rails matter most to their customers and their bottom line, and how to avoid building a disconnected patchwork of point solutions. With increasing pressure to deliver faster experiences and reduce operational cost, payment strategies are becoming a multi-rail problem, not a single-rail project.
In this Banking Exchange-hosted webinar on February 18 at 2:00 p.m. ET, join Mark Majeske, SVP of Faster Payments at Alacriti, and Divyarani Raghupatruni, Senior Director of Product, Data and Orchestration, as they share a practical, field-tested framework for building a modern payments strategy. Drawing on real-world implementation experience, they’ll explore how institutions are sequencing modernization across rails, where adoption is accelerating today, and how to think about stablecoins as a future planning input—without letting emerging technologies slow progress.
Topics will include:
- A simple framework for choosing which rails to modernize first—and why
- Common roadblocks that keep “one-rail projects” from scaling
- What’s driving urgency in instant payments adoption in 2026
- How Zelle® and push-to-card fit into a broader modernization plan
- Where stablecoins may matter later—and how to plan without pausing execution
