Banks like Citi, Lloyds, HSBC, and Bank of America are extending always-on payment capabilities and embedded banking into corporate and institutional workflows, enabling real-time cross-border payment settlements and integrating banking data into client systems. Additionally, Mizuho and SMBC, supported by IFC, have launched $1.5 billion in supply-chain finance facilities to broaden financing access for SMEs and suppliers across Asia-Pacific and Latin America.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must adapt your payment systems to expect always-on cross-border settlement and embedded banking data access in client workflows as banks cut delays and link multiple payment rails. The growing supply-chain finance facilities backed by IFC open up new credit lines for corporates and their suppliers that your offering can tap into.
