Smart contracts can generate payment instructions once an invoice is approved, connecting enterprise workflows to bank payment systems and routing payments across RTP, ACH, or wires based on bank availability.

Research shows that 53% of surveyed businesses not yet using RTP expect to adopt it within two years.
