Common Questions about Real-Time and Cross-Border Payments

What are cross-border payments?

Cross-border payments are transactions where money is sent between individuals, businesses, or financial institutions in different countries. They typically involve multiple financial institutions or intermediaries, different currencies, requiring foreign exchange (FX) and regulatory and compliance checks across jurisdictions.

What is the difference between a traditional cross-border payment and an instant/real-time payment?

Traditional cross-border payments can take hours or days to settle, often moving through multiple intermediaries. Real-time (instant) payments settle in seconds, delivering immediate funds availability on always-on, 24/7 infrastructure.

Which global payment networks support real-time cross-border transfers?

Financial institutions can utilise a combination of networks and approaches (“multi-rail”) to deliver instant payments across borders. There are many domestic real-time schemes used internationally (when connected or extended across borders) including SEPA Instant, SIC IP and UK Faster Payments, amongst other regional real-time payment (RTP) schemes.

How does Bottomline support with real-time payments?

Bottomline Connectivity Services provides connectivity to multiple payment networks, including instant rails. These include SIC IP, SEPA Inst and UK Faster Payments.
