Alacriti presents:
"Instant Payments Myths vs. Reality: What Credit Unions Need to Know"
Tuesday, May 13, 11:00 a.m. (PST)

Instant payments continue to gain momentum, yet the unknown still prevents many financial institutions from fully embracing them. Do credit unions really need to enable both Send and Receive at the same time? Will instant payments cannibalize wire revenue? Is implementing the RTP® network or the FedNow® Service a major operational challenge?

Join us for a CUBroadcast-hosted discussion on May 13, 2025, at 2:00 PM ET, featuring Mark Majeske, SVP of Faster Payments at Alacriti, and Steve Douglass, Vice President of Business Development at The Clearing House. Together, they will tackle the most common myths surrounding real-time payments and separate fact from fiction.

Topics will include:
  • Send vs. Receive: What does signing up for Send and Receive mean for the implementation timeline? 
  • Request for Payment (RFP): What is the real adoption timeline and potential use cases?
  • Business vs. Consumer Transactions: What do trends indicate about monetization opportunities?
  • Operational Readiness: How disruptive are instant payments for existing processes?
  • Fraud Risks: How does faster money movement impact fraud risk?  
  • Revenue Impact: Are real-time payments replacing wires?

Register today and get the facts you need to make informed decisions about real-time payments.
