Consumer Demand for Faster Transactions are Driving the Growth of the Global Real Time Payment Markets

NEW YORK, December 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

Digital payment solutions have become so mainstream that now millions of consumers use them on a daily basis. Consumers with an electronic device that has access to the internet can easily access a digital payment platform. These platforms allow users to simplify the process of sending transactions between one another. Despite the convenience of digital payment solutions, consumers are now demanding real time payment (RTP) solutions as well, causing payment technology to advance even further. According to data compiled by Maximize Market Research, the global real time payment market was valued at USD 4.5 Billion in 2017 and is estimated to reach USD 37.5 Billion by 2026. Additionally, the market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 30.35% during the forecast period. Consumers are now looking for ways to send transactions quicker, but more conveniently and at a lower cost per transaction. The rise of the internet and payment systems has further accelerated the technological growth of real time payment solutions to deal with the growing expectations.

Real time payment systems are already widely used as a solution to send funds between two users within just a matter of seconds after the payment initiation. In context, the payment industry is declining, while instant payment plans are rapidly growing. Now, many financial institutions are transitioning to real time payment services that consumers and businesses are adopting. "The call to action is clear: fintechs must go beyond providing connectivity and processing and take the lead in educating and working with banks every step of the way. Banks should embrace collaborating with fintechs to harness the 95 percent of innovation that happens outside their institutions. Consumers will continue to demand more real-time services and it's up to the industry to act. With RTP, they can finally deliver," said Vinay Prabhakar, Head of Markets Strategy, Payments at Finastra.

GreenBox Pos LLC (OTC: GRBX) earlier last week, the Company announced breaking news that, "TrustEscrow, a real-time partner payment module, is now live. The new technology is a plug-in to GRBX's robust TrustGateway system and is an essential part of the Company's scalability plan. TrustEscrow allows GRBX to meet the demand for the Company's services as the number of clients, partners, and agents soar. The new toolkit allows agents submitting accounts to GreenBox to get paid in real-time for each transaction.

'Current industry standards for agent residual payments are 30-60 days in arrears. Bringing residual payments from 30-60 days out to true real-time payment gives GreenBox a massive competitive advantage,' stated Ken Haller, GreenBox's Senior Vice President of Payment Systems. 'Clients, partners, and agents are the core of our business. They are a pillar to our sales force and we just injected them with the cashflow needed to continue bringing on new accounts. The days of waiting for residual settlements are over - everyone will be paid instantly and securely through our blockchain technology.'
