Real time payment refers to a financial transaction processing system that enables instantaneous and immediate fund transfers between individuals, businesses, or institutions. Unlike traditional payment methods that involve delays due to batch processing or clearing times, real-time payments occur in a matter of seconds, providing a swift and efficient means of transferring money. This technology relies on advanced payment infrastructures and networks to facilitate instantaneous settlement, often 24/7, including weekends and holidays. Real time payments have become increasingly popular in recent years, revolutionizing the way people handle financial transactions. They offer benefits such as enhanced convenience, reduced processing costs, improved cash flow management, and greater transparency. Some commonly used real time payment systems include the Faster Payments Service (FPS) in the UK and the Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) system in India. These systems have significantly accelerated the pace of financial transactions, empowering individuals and businesses with the ability to transfer funds in real time, supporting a wide range of financial activities, from bill payments to peer-to-peer transfers.
