Ovum Report: Real-Time Payments Key Driver for $3.3 Billion Rise in Technology Spend by North American Commercial Banks
50 percent of U.S. and 40 percent of Canadian banks to increase investment in real-time payments as a platform for service innovation in the context of open banking
(firmenpresse) - Toronto and San Francisco, 05 December 2017 - New research from Ovum, the market-leading research and consulting firm, reveals that North American commercial banks are continuing to increase their investment in real-time payments (RTP). The report ond the basic implementation of new payment rails. Instead, banks are also investing in services such as artificial intelligence (AI) and mobile banking based on real-time account data, recognizing that RTP is an important strategic opportunity ahead of open banking.
Research Highlights:
In the short term, banks are investing in real-time services ahead of market adoption to effectively compete for the business of their commercial clients. In the long term, RTP infrastructure will become the foundation for banks transitioning into an open banking environment.
David Bannister, Principal Analyst at Ovum and author of the report, said:
A foundation for service innovation
The top areas for IT investment - cash management services, liquidity risk management, mobile banking and on-line banking - are all underpinned by RTP as a foundational capability to address various existing service limitations.
Cash management services s are also prioritising real-time cash forecasting (40 percent) along with a single view across bank relationships (40 percent), for their commercial clients.
Real-time commercial banking
In terms of client-facing services, banks, desperate to break from the stuttering world of batch processing, must implement RTP to unlock real-time transaction data and unleash a powerful wave of real-time services.
For institutions in the US, access to real-time information, analytics and other services based around transaction data is paramount. In Canada, the focus is concentrated more heavily on providing access to RTP, along with enhanced services via digital interfaces.
Open banking and payment convergence
Canadian commercial banks, and to a lesser extent US banks, similar to those across the rest of the world are taking steps to prepare themselves for open banking. All Canadian, and 56 percent of U.S. institutions are embracing an API strategy, with 80 percent and 56 percent respectively planning to integrate third party services into their propositions.
Both banks and third parties need access to real-time customer information to deliver compelling offerings. The investments being made in RTP and open banking imply a future convergence of commercial and retail payments as banks look beyond traditional payments systems.
