Real-time payments offer significant market opportunities, especially in Asia and Latin America, driven by tech innovations like AI and blockchain.

Dublin, Nov. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Real-Time Payments and Cross-Border Transactions 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This report covers the evolution of real-time payments and the different factors driving the technology, including tech themes, macroeconomic themes, and regulatory themes such as AI, globalization, and cryptocurrencies.

The report also examines the future of real-time payments and the steps that banks, payment providers, merchants, and central banks must take in order to drive uptake of the technology and capture market share.
Real-time payments are rapidly shaping the modern payments landscape, replacing traditional payment methods in markets across the globe. While uptake has been relatively slow in Europe and North America, innovative fintechs and governments in developing markets in Latin America, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa have fully embraced the technology. These platforms are becoming increasingly interoperable, facilitating real-time payments in in-store, online, and cross-border settings and driving the status of real-time payments to become a mainstream payment option.
