Monetizing Instant Payments Beyond Transaction Fees
About This Course
Instant payments are no longer a novelty. Many institutions are connected to RTP or FedNow, yet few have built a deliberate revenue strategy around them. Simply charging a transaction fee rarely produces meaningful return and can even suppress adoption.
This webinar is designed for banking leaders who want to move beyond we’re live and toward measurable impact. Attendees will gain a practical framework for monetizing instant payments through use-case expansion, value-added services, commercial relationship growth, deposit strategy, and operational efficiency. The course will address how to align pricing with perceived value, how to think about instant payments as a liquidity and treasury tool, and how to position these capabilities competitively against fintech alternatives.
Participants will leave with a clear monetization blueprint, leadership-level questions to guide internal conversations, and a roadmap to turn instant payments from infrastructure into strategic advantage.
