Payment finality denotes the point at which a monetary transaction becomes irreversible and unconditional. Once a payment achieves finality, the recipient has full and undisputed access to the funds, and the transaction cannot be cancelled or clawed back. This concept is crucial for reducing settlement risk and ensuring confidence in payment systems. Different payment systems offer varying degrees and speeds of finality.
