Partner Session: In Review
Currently, 72 percent of the world’s population has, or will soon have, access to instant payments, according to the 2022 Worldpay from FIS Global Payments Report. Many markets are also replacing or renovating their established real-time services to cater to instant payments. What does it take to onboard these users to a Web3-first, DeFi world? How simple must it be, and how quickly can we get there? This session addressed these questions and more, from the perspective of one of the world’s largest payment firms.
