FedNow vs. RTP: Why the answer to real-time payments is both

As consumers, we love choices. But when it comes to fast, 24/7 payment options, businesses and financial institutions haven’t exactly been spoiled for choice—until now. With hundreds of FIs already on FedNow since its 2023 launch, and the momentum of The Clearing House’s RTP growing stronger every day, 2025 is shaping up to be the year of choice for faster payments.

However, more choices bring new challenges. Should banks commit to one network or adopt both? How can faster payment services be effectively monetized? In a 24/7 world, how do you combat 24/7 fraud? And what’s the right technological strategy to make it all work seamlessly?
