Overview

Instant payment has long become a worldwide subject sustainably changing
the payments sector. As competitive and regulatory pressure rises world-
wide, financial institutes quickly realise that they have to redesign their
payment systems. The cost pressure for conventional payment architectures
also promotes the consolidation of redundant features. Furthermore,
consumers claim rapidity, convenience and simplicity for payments.

Within one decade, real-time payments around the clock have emerged as
key driver for innovations in the payments sector; in many parts of the world,
this technology has become the norm. The drivers of such payment systems
vary between cost reduction, increased efficiency and better customer
service – and, of course, the adherence of regulatory and compliance guide-
lines. One of the outcomes has been the European Banking Association’s
pan-European SEPA instant payments system RT1 introduced in 2017.

Biggest Commercial Bank in Czech Republic

Meanwhile, payments in real time have to support all possible payment types – including
P2P, B2B, B2C and C2B. This also expands the complexity and the additional technological
levels which have to be supported by banks, companies and traders. Of course, rapidity
and convenience are crucial for East Europe, too. Consequently, the Česká spořitelna in the
Czech Republic has recognised the need for a modern and future-proof solution.

With a balance sheet total of 33.7 billion euros, more than 10,000 employees, more than
600 local branches and five million clients, the Czech financial institution is the biggest
commercial bank in the Czech Republic. The subsidiary of the Erste Group supervises more
than 16 million clients in seven countries and is thus one of the
biggest bank groups in Central and East Europe.

Benefits for E-Commerce

Companies can benefit from real-time payments by using functionalities like       via PayPal
hourly payroll and just-in-time inventory management. Payments in real time       (in Billions US-Dollar)
also permit to transfer more data together with the payment and to simplify
the coordination and reporting. Banks are now able to provide extended
services and to create further added value for their clients. In addition,
companies can also manage their liquidity positions more efficiently in the
entire financial supply chain.

The   extended    use    of   online   and   mobile   devices   supports   this
trend which is given by digitalisation. Mobile payment solutions such as
Apple Pay or Google Pay also confirm this trend as well as the high customer
expectations regarding the convenience and flexibility of payments. In the
fields of e-commerce as well, real-time payments are a means of ensuring
customer loyalty: goods can flow faster and refunds can just as quickly be
credited to the consumer’s accounts. Compared to payment transactions
with credit cards, real-time payments are considerably less expensive for the
traders.

For detecting criminal activities, the evaluation of data will
be particularly important, too – the more transparent the
processes are, the earlier fraud and money laundering can be
identified. Fraud detection is to be applied not only towards
external access but also towards manipulations from within.
Thanks to artificial intelligence, a solution of valantic’s partner
NetGuardians monitors all processes and transactions in real
time, regardless of the data volume. Thereby, no known fraud
patterns are searched but the entire behaviour of users and
bank clients is checked for anomalies, so that even risks arising
from new fraud methods which are not known yet are secured
as far as possible.
