The Clearing House Real-Time Payment Transactions: Fraud Monitoring Best Practices
Changes abound in the world of payments. The movement that began over the past few years is now peaking as transformation sweeps through every aspect of the payments industry. And while this innovation is good in many ways; it also introduces new risk exposures that need to be assessed by organizations that are looking to adopt these next-generation payment products.
New payment channels like The Clearing House’s Realtime Payments (TCH RTP®) are a great example: they provide organizations with faster transactions that can help increase business output, but can also create new threat vectors that malicious actors will look to exploit.
As banks begin to offer this capability to their clients, it is critical to understand how these payments work, and the best practices in detecting and preventing fraud. In this conversation we explore the risks and rewards of real-time payments adoption with Eric Choltus, Director of Global Product Management: Payment Fraud with Bottomline.
Eric describes the key players and rails in the expanding real-time payments ecosystem, lessons learned from other jurisdictions that have adopted RTP, and the ingredients of a successful fraud prevention program when implementing RTP.
