Certain sectors face particularly acute pressure from payment delays.“ Over the next 18-24 months, I anticipate real-time payments will be particularly transformative for sectors that find themselves directly impacted by operational efficiency in payments,” he predicts.
“ B2B platforms, expense management, HR and payroll and logistics are examples of this,” Marcin continues. These industries share common characteristics that make instant payments especially valuable.
The rise of alternative work arrangements amplifies this need.“ Payment companies that can provide seamless, instant access to funds can gain lasting loyalty from their customers, particularly as contractor and gig work services are so prevalent in these industries,” he explains.
The benefits extend beyond customer-facing improvements to internal operational efficiency.
“ Moving beyond customer-facing benefits, corporate and institutional clients can also reduce internal complexities,” Marcin says.
