In this episode of The Treasury Whisperer’s Talkcast Podcast, host Seth Marlowe interviews Marcia Klingensmith, banking modernization and ecosystem strategy leader at Candescent (www.candescent.com) and author of The Instant Edge blog (www.substack.com/@instantpaymentsmaven). Marcia, known as the Instant Payments Maven, shares her perspective on why treasury and business banking may drive the next phase of instant payments adoption. The conversation explores RTP, FedNow, the “receive-only rut,” request for payment, QR pay codes, ISO 20022 data, fraud prevention, real-time data layers, and why banks need to modernize legacy infrastructure before chasing every new shiny object. Seth and Marcia also discuss stablecoins, tokenized deposits, the importance of send capabilities, and why financialinstitutions need a clear modernization strategy that connects payments, fraud, data, customer experience, and business banking execution.Links:Marcia Klingensmith on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcekmba/The Instant Edge on Substack: https://www.substack.com/@instantpaymentsmavenSeth Marlowe on LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/treasurywhisperer/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Treasury Whisperer's Talkcast Podcast on LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/treasury-whisperer%E2%80%99s-talkcast-podcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Treasury Whisperer Network on LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/treasurywhisperernetwork/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support The Treasury Whisperer's Talkcast Podcast by Becoming a Patreon Member: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/treasurywhisperer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Treasury Whisperer's Talkcast Podcast is a production of Treasury Whisperer LLC © 2025-2026Any re-broadcast, re-transmission or other use of this podcast without the expressed written consent of Treasury Whisperer LLC is strictly prohibited.
