On Demand Course
Instructor: Kevin Olsen

Duration: 1 HR

What You'll Learn

Confused by all the faster payments talk? This foundational course breaks it all down for banks and credit unions looking to understand today’s modern payment rails. Untangle the myths, compares the platforms (FedNow®, RTP®, Same Day ACH, Zelle®, Cash App®, Visa Direct®, and more), and clarifies how each can fit into your payment’s strategy.


You’ll learn:

  • What makes a payment “faster” — and why it matters

  • The differences between real-time, near-real-time, and same-day

  • Key traits like clearing, settlement, irrevocability, and finality

  • How closed-loop and open-loop systems compare

  • Rules, risks, and regulations you must understand


Whether you're new to faster payments or need a better grasp of where your institution fits in, this session provides the practical knowledge and terminology you need to speak “payments” fluently.
