In recent years new digital payment technologies such as mobile money have driven financial inclusion in emerging markets. Some of these emerging markets are now transitioning from closed-open payment networks to open-loop, instant payment systems. Instant payment systems streamline payments between individuals, merchants, and financial institutions. These systems create a more cash-like experience by adopting technology that allows clients with different financial service providers to send and receive money. 

In this webinar, panelists presented a new white paper “Inclusive Instant Payment Systems: An Evidence-Based Approach from Design to Impact,” which explores how these systems work and the status of interoperability in emerging markets.
