London, 25 February 2021 –Real-time and faster payment systems put more focus on optimal cash and liquidity management, as the time between when an invoice is generated and when a payment is made or received is bound to shorten. Because this puts more stress on the liquidity position, corporations, banks, and fintech vendors must be equipped to handle these changes.

This Impact Brief illustrates the real-time payments use cases that warn corporate treasurers that real time is important but that newly designed business processes must be in place and ready before implementing any innovative real-time applications. It highlights some of the key takeaways from a January 2021 meeting of the Aite Group EMEA Treasury Council, a community of treasurers that closely examines the solutions offered by banks and fintech vendors.
