How Fintechs Are Using Payment Rails to Displace Traditional Wire Transfers

In this episode of Fintech Conversations with Fexingo: Banking, Payments, and Financial Software Companies, hosts Lucas and Luna explore how fintech companies are using modern payment rails—like real-time payment networks, stablecoins, and card networks—to displace traditional wire transfers for business-to-business and cross-border payments. They focus on a specific case: a mid-sized manufacturing company that switched from bank wires to a fintech platform using the RTP network, saving $12 per transaction and cutting settlement time from three days to seconds. Lucas and Luna discuss the technology behind payment rails, the role of the Clearing House's RTP network and FedNow, and why incumbents like SWIFT are under pressure. They also touch on the economics of payment rail adoption, including hidden fees and integration challenges.
