About this episode

The episode explores the impact of faster payment systems on money movement and decision-making.

In This Episode Payments are getting faster. From RTP to stablecoins, rails are modernizing. Speed alone doesn’t equal progress, however. As real-time payment systems expand, banks, businesses, and policymakers are asking a bigger question: how do new payment rails actually change how money moves, decisions get made, and value is created? In this episode of Breaking Banks , host Jason Henrichs brings together Dominic Venturo , SEVP and Chief Digital Officer at U.S. Bank and David Watson , President and CEO at The Clearing House to explore what is really changing beneath the surface. The trio discuss: how instant payments are moving beyond consumer use cases into business and treasury workflows, where banks are finding real opportunity (and where they aren’t), and how tools like request-for-payment and stablecoins are reshaping cash flow and transparency. Share with industry friends and colleagues. The episode is not to be missed!
