Payment processing

A cloud-based system makes it easier to communicate with staff on matters outside of payroll, says OnPay's Katelyn Sullivan.

The central bank must engage core processors, community banks and The Clearing House if it wants to move quickly on building out its FedNow system.

This “audience of one” approach gives customers offers that are personalized to them, enhancing the relationship with your brand and building trust, says Mobiquity's Sree Singaraju.

Mastercard is making the much-admired Apple Card-like experience—nearly instant access to a payment card issued on the spot through a mobile device—available through mainstream and digital card processors.

By taking action today, you can begin to have peace of mind that your previously existing fraud vectors have been sealed off, says PaymentWorks' Thayer Stewart.

As the Federal Reserve's FedNow instant payments and settlement system enters into testing and use-case development phases, an emphasis on speed to market, ubiquity and compatibility with other systems remains in the forefront.

Speed stands at the forefront of any real-time payments deployment, but the real staying power in new payments innovation rides on the development philosophy of the platform itself.

To take on these other forms of contactless payment, the POS must offer the same functionality as stationary cash registers, including card payments, digital receipts, coupon redemption, mobile payment and CRM integration, says GK Software USA's Todd Barstow.

Michael Moeser, Senior Analyst at PaymentsSource, talks to Jess Turner, EVP of consumer and small business solutions at Mastercard, about how consumers are making payments when they're no longer on lockdown but not quite back to the way things used to be.

If the processor does not understand the particular needs of high-risk businesses, merchants working with them could face sudden financial disaster if accounts are terminated without warning, says T1 Payments’ Donald Kasdon.
