COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 outbreak pushed banks and customers to react swiftly to physical interface restrictions. As a result, bank customers' instant payment adoption has quickened. Many have hailed this as a seismic shift, with most assuming that digital natives and huge national banks would emerge as victors, owing to their widespread investment in digital enablement.
