Source summary
FXC Intelligence interviews Bank of America's Head of Global Payments Product about a network planned for Q3 2026 that connects domestic instant-payment systems such as SPEI, Faster Payments and UPI. The bank says the initial service will target low-value, high-volume remittances, gig-worker payouts and marketplace payments from the US to 10 countries, with ambitions to reach as many as 50 by the end of 2027.
Why it matters
The product shows a major bank moving low-value cross-border traffic away from wire-only routing toward linked domestic instant rails, while preserving enterprise access through CashPro, APIs and Swift.
