↓ -1%Dave Glaser, from pay-by-bank platform Dwolla, believes real-time payment infrastructure in the US is more than capable of improving merchant and consumer payment experiencesFor the country that gave the world PayPal, Google Wallet and Apple Pay, the US domestic payment system can seem, well, a little Jurassic to an outsider.Payment dinosaurs, like cheques (US: checks) while not prolific, aren’t extinct either. And UK visitors are often a little unnerved when a waiter takes your plastic and disappears with it to process the payment.That said, things are changing fast.Handheld devices are becoming more popular in diners; 28 per cent of Americans made a contactless payment instore last year (according to McKinsey); and A2A, real-time payments and open banking are accelerating in use (albeit from a very small base). Dave Glaser, CEO of the pay-by-bank platform Dwolla, would argue that the US was kind of ahead of the curve on that last one.“We’ve had an open banking platform for the last 50 years. It’s called the ACH (Automated Clearing House) system,” he says.The US has two ACH operators: The Clearing House, privately owned by the major banks, and the Federal Reserve’s ACH also known as FedACH.It created an infrastructure that could, in theory, share customer data between every bank and credit union as well as third-party payments operators. The trouble was that by the time banks, merchants and consumers caught up with the idea of open banking, the system itself had become legacy. Dwolla entered the market 15 years ago as one of the earliest champions of A2A payments.It could see a future where payments become truly frictionless through pay-by-bank and open banking solutions for merchants and businesses
DES MOINES, Iowa, Feb. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Dwolla, a leading U.S.-based account-to-account (A2A) payment solution, today announced the appointment of Daniel Quezada as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO).
Bringing even more simplification to the payments process.At Money20/20 USA 2024, we spoke to Dave Glaser, CEO of Dwolla, who is at the heart of a shift taking place in the US. He points to a future where payments could “disappear” through biometric-linked transactions.Glaser lets us know how their secure, cost-effective pay-by-bank and open banking solutions reduce the reliance on traditional methods and legacy systems. It’s an exciting example of Open Banking and Embedded finance in action.Modernizing Payments: Why the Challenge PersistsThe main thing Dave highlights is the ongoing efforts to modernize payments stem from the ever-evolving nature of technology and consumer preferences. Drawing from his 25 years of experience in the industry, he described this as one of the most dynamic eras for payments innovation. Legacy companies that have been operating for decades are now actively upgrading their systems to align with modern expectations.Real-time payments, a global theme, aim to deliver immediacy, reduce costs, and expand options for both businesses and consumers. In the U.S., the RTP model, FedNow, and Same-Day ACH are gaining traction, offering businesses multiple frameworks to experiment with
Payment intelligence provider ValidiFI has teamed with fuel/convenience retail tech company PDI Technologies. The collaboration, announced Wednesday (Nov. 20), will see ValidiFI provide real-time bank account validation for the consumer enrollment process for PDI’s payments solutions. This integration also covers GasBuddy, the PDI-owned fuel savings platform. “Selecting ValidiFI as the preferred provider for bank account validation empowers consumers to choose how they enroll their bank account — using their online banking credentials or manually entering bank account information,” ValidiFI said in a news release provided to PYMNTS. “The collaboration increases instant consumer approvals, strengthens fraud detection, and empowers more informed risk decisions through validating bank accounts and assessing behavior.”
