Session Description
The payments space is changing rapidly. Financial institutions must now navigate a growing mix of rails—including the RTP® network, the FedNow® Service, Zelle®, Visa Direct, cross-border payment capabilities, and emerging innovations such as stablecoins and tokenized deposits. The challenge is no longer deciding whether to modernize, but determining how these options fit together into a cohesive payments strategy.
Â
This session, hosted by Mark Majeske and fellow industry experts, explores how financial institutions can align the right use cases with the right payment rails while understanding the operational, technology, and business implications of each.Â
Participants will leave with a clearer framework for evaluating payment rail options, prioritizing strategic investments, and building a modern payments strategy that supports both immediate needs and long-term innovation.
