FIS (NYSE: FIS), a global leader in financial technology, today announced that it is unlocking the Neural Payments solution to its clients, expanding the availability of peer-to-peer (P2P) payments by leveraging the company’s global scale and NYCE debit rails to bring this capability to a wider range of institutions.
Neural Payments’ innovative platform enables bank customers to transfer money from their account to anyone, regardless of whether the recipient’s institution utilizes Neural Payments and without the need to download a third-party app or register a new card. Payments can be settled via popular mobile wallets and debit card; with FedNow, and The Clearing House RTP available now. Recipients can claim their payment within seconds after funds are sent.
“A recent FIS UK surveyi shows that mobile banking capabilities are the top reason for every generation’s loyalty to their primary bank,” said Chris Como, Head of Cards and Money Movement at FIS. “This combination of our industry reach and our NYCE debit rails with Neural Payments’ innovative technology will greatly help streamline money movement for today’s economy and the increasingly digital consumer. It illustrates our commitment to unlocking financial technology for the world, and I’m excited to begin introducing these capabilities to our client institutions.”
Why P2P Payments Matter
P2P applications are widely used and continue to experience robust growth, bridging gaps across generations and digital accessibility. According to Neural Payments, over 80% of consumers report having utilized a P2P service, with frequent use on a weekly basis. The worldwide market for P2P payments was estimated to be worth $2.21 trillion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach approximately $11.62 trillion by 2032 based on a report by Precedence Research.
How FIS Enables the Neural Payments Solution
FIS will enable its financial institution clients to integrate Neural Payments’ white-label solution within the institution’s mobile banking app, so users will not need to visit a third party to send money. For conventional closed loop payments, linked debit accounts are settled in real-time within FIS clients’ existing products.
“Aligning with FIS to bring our white-label P2P offering to financial institutions is a natural next step in the evolution of our long-standing relationship,” said Mick Oppy, Co-Founder and CEO at Neural Payments. “This solution is already reshaping the P2P landscape with its open-loop system that transcends traditional banking boundaries. As a global leader in financial technology, FIS will help us extend that reach to provide a payment service that finally delivers on the promise of P2P, allowing money to be moved safely, inexpensively, and through the broadest possible number of networks.”
