Off the Rails from the U.S. Faster Payments Council - FPC · 13 March 2025 Tony Cook from First Bank and Donna Blum from BHMI on payments reconciliation · 13 Mar 2025 podcast

are not insurmountable barriers.

They're an investment for sure.

I actually think it's a pretty major catalyst for instant payments adoption because it transforms the payment experience from passive to proactive and it benefits both the billers and the payers.

It seems like the tougher the competition is, the better she performs.

And so I

I would not be the least bit surprised if she PRs at nationals.
