Roundtable 1
Invite-Only
Real-time payments are transforming digital payments for consumers, businesses and governments by delivering new levels of speed, innovation and efficiency. Today more than 60 countries already have instant (or "fast") payment systems (IPS) that allow these transactions to happen in mere seconds. But sending money abroad is often still slow and expensive.
In this roundtable, participants will seek possible solutions to connect these domestic IPSs internationally, with the goal of improving the speed, cost and transparency of cross-border payments.
