Off the Rails from the U.S. Faster Payments Council - FPC · 10 Sept 2026 Bridget Hall on Faster Payments ROI, International Best Practices, and Dumb Cooking · 10 Sep 2026 podcast

Off the rails from the US Fast Republican.

Thanks for having me back.

Yeah, absolutely.

So I lead the strategy and go-to-market initiatives for real-time and account-to-account payments at ACI worldwide.

We are a global payment software company, but I focus mostly on North and South America, working with banks, credit unions, and central banks to help modernize payments.

drive adoption of the next generation of payments, including of course our favorite instant payments read that we talk about here at the FPC.

And then, you know, the upcoming digital assets, stablecoin and kind of what's next for banks too.

And one of the exciting things that I get to do at my role at ACI is I support instant payments on a global perspective.

ACI supports 26 real-time domestic schemes around the world.

And eleven central infrastructures.

And that's something I've had the opportunity to kind of see how each country adopts instant payments differently and in different conditions of what's happening within the country.

And of all the lessons that I've learned over the years and shared from country to country, the one thing that really stands out to me from an ECI perspective is that payments are still very much a local experience.

So when we keep talking about instant payments and the other payment types all living within the same ecosystem, we still have to keep considering in the local factors of the countries that we're

Yeah, absolutely.

So we we definitely talk about uh the countries that you listed a lot.

And I have to say that Colombia is one that is quickly becoming an exciting country to watch and one that I'm starting to reference and compare against more and more as uh as the the Brave A ecosystem uh settles in a bit more there.

Uh now there's been instant payments in Colombia for uh a long time and and just you know, so everyone's over talking about Colombia, the country in South America.

Uh so just to clarify that really quick for our our lovely listeners.

Uh well like Colombia the the brand of jackets or Columbia the city, right?

So we are talking about the country of Colombia.
