Ever the payments geek, after watching the Georgia Bulldogs capture the national title (Go Dawgs!), what came to mind was a hypothetical “day in the life of a dollar” for someone who bet and won on that college game. I imagined that winner waking up and transferring their Fan Duel payout to a digital neobank, where it was promptly used to pay for an Uber Eats delivery. That driver took her earnings as an immediate…
With 20-years of industry experience, Ingo Money is the “old guy” on the block for money-in and money-out solutions. And I’m proud of that! I was told long ago by a senior board member that “you can’t get 30 years of experience in a day less than 30 years”. That experience begets expertise, and we are the clear experts when it comes to enabling what we like to call Money Mobility. That’s evident when…
Enabling companies to send disbursements – or payouts – to consumers and small businesses digitally, safely, and reliably is infinitely harder than equipping companies to take payments from consumers. It may seem as simple as connecting to one or two APIs because you’re told what great “coverage” they have, but still, the reach is not ubiquitous. Historically, consumer payouts have been offered via ACH or check, in part because checks are still universally accepted here…
The world has changed. And with it, so have our expectations of money. Money must be easy, portable, and work for us rather than against us. When someone pays us, we want the money to be instantly available in whatever account or on whichever card works best for us right now. In short, we need our money to be modern. Today, I am proud to share that Ingo Money is launching an expanded suite of…
Ushering In The Era Of Disbursements 3.0 Depending on who you ask, old-style disbursements began their digital transformation in 2017 when Uber disrupted the traditional idea of payday, introducing on-demand payments and early wage access. When ACH was still considered fast, that was transformational. The progression from paper dominance and ACH to point solutions to the stage we’re entering now – let’s call it “Disbursements 3.0” — is creating startling new possibilities for instant payments at scale,…
The Dawn Of Instant Payments The majority of small businesses fail because they can’t match accounts payable with accounts receivable. It’s the same for people. From SMBs to individuals and families, financial health comes down to cash flow. That fact – along with timing and technology – has brought us to the brink of a historic moment when “instant” money changes payments forever. Instant is already bringing change to millions in the consumer and SMB…
“Float” – the notorious interval between when payors send funds and when payees possess those funds – has long been held as sacred and immutable by financial institutions (FIs) both as a risk mitigation practice and to bolster liquidity. There’s just one problem with float being at or near the center of your 2020 payments policy: it’s a fallacy. Float as a policy is irrelevant and outdated. Not only is float of no discernible benefit…
Life is full of necessary evils. But while parallel parking and waiting on hold for customer service were once thought to be unavoidable hassles of everyday living, technologies like hands-free parking and chatbots have helped to eliminate them. Paper checks are no different. No one will ever consider them to be the best, fastest or cheapest form of payment – only the most widely used. Consumers rarely enjoy writing them, and businesses don’t like paying…
Lisa McFarland, EVP & Chief Product Officer at Ingo Money As 2020 looms, there are very few potential partners left to be talked into the “why” of instant payments — that case has already been well made. Where the Rubber Starts to Hit the Road When compliance and risk people start taking a real look at how they can safely and securely get instant payments up and running, the road can get rocky. There is…
The payments industry loves to talk about rails — whose rails are the fastest, cheapest, most secure, most accepted, most compliant. Consumers? Not so much. Except when it boils down to a single question: “How/when do I get my money?” Nobody cares what rails are used any more than I care which wires or satellites transmit my phone call to you. What customers do care about is the experience — how fast the funds arrive,…
