Payments industry pivots from speed to accuracy amid rising failures

The payments industry is shifting its focus from speed to accuracy, as real-time transaction capabilities become a baseline expectation. While significant investments have been made in payment infrastructure, the data accompanying these transactions remains a persistent issue. A large percentage of payment failures are attributed to incorrect data, such as formatting errors or invalid account details, rather than issues with the payment rails themselves. This inaccuracy disproportionately affects payees, who bear the cost of failed payments, leading to significant global economic losses and customer attrition. AI
