FX-MM.com, a monthly on-line magazine focused on treasury, trading and technology in international markets, posted an article regarding the complexity of business cross-border transactions. The complexities are expanding, as the demand for real-time or faster payments grows:

The introduction of real-time payments is inevitable and is being partially driven by customer demand for speed and convenience. Consumers have been given a taste of the real-time experience through point-of-sale debit and credit card transactions, as well as e-commerce purchases. Businesses are now asking for the same speed of service.

The reasons for complexity are similar to what is experienced for consumer transactions, just more involved with a wider number and types of technologies and regulatory concerns to contend with:

“…. one of the principal hurdles for real-time cross-border payments is the multitude of systems currently in operation. The success of an instant cross-border payment event depends on these various systems being at least fully automated and, if possible, synchronized with each other. The overall performance of any real-time payment process – which should involve data transfer, screening, validation, authorization, posting, clearing, settlement and notification – is driven by the sequentially, the pace and the effectiveness of the slowest links in the chain. A system that has multiple touch points involved will not only be more complex, it will also probably be slower and more vulnerable to problems.
