APAC is moving faster than the rest of the world when it comes to cross-border payments. In 2023, the region accounted for nearly 70% of global real-time payment volume and is now the first to roll out Project Nexus. By linking domestic instant payment systems through a shared platform, Project Nexus enables most cross-border payments to be completed within 60 seconds, while reducing intermediaries, lowering costs and expanding access for banks and their customers.
This postion gives APAC an edge, but it also brings challenges. Regulatory differences, complex currencies and fragmented payment infrastructure still make interoperability difficult. With the G20 setting ambitious goals for 2027 and 2030, banks only have a short window to act.
Watch this on-demand webinar to learn how APAC’s financial institutions can turn early momentum in cross-border payments into lasting leadership. As Project Nexus gains traction, it is opening new corridors, lowering costs and modernising cross-border services.
