TCH's real-time payments can be larger; Mastercard to pay $254 million UK settlement

The Clearing House's real-time payments (RTP) network has increased its payment limit from $100,000 to $1 million per transaction, aiming to facilitate larger and more complex transactions. This adjustment comes in response to customer demand for handling higher-value payments in real time, which could include payroll, insurance claims, and commercial transactions. The increase in the transaction limit is part of a broader strategy to enhance the RTP network's capabilities, making it more competitive with other payment systems like FedNow, which also supports transactions up to $500,000. This move is expected to encourage more businesses to adopt real-time payments for significant financial operations, thereby promoting efficiency and reducing the reliance on slower, traditional payment methods.
