Instant payments are electronic financial transfers processed and settled in real-time, making funds available to the recipient almost immediately. These payment systems operate continuously, typically 24/7, and aim to reduce the time lag associated with traditional payment methods, improving liquidity and efficiency for both consumers and businesses. While often facilitated by traditional banking infrastructure, blockchain-based solutions also offer pathways for instant value transfer. The adoption of instant payment rails is a global trend driven by demand for faster financial operations.
