“The U.S. Faster Payments Council (FPC), a membership organization devoted to advancing safe, easy-to-use faster payments in the United States, today published a new industry resource, an International Best Practices in Directory Models white paper. Available in the FPC’s Knowledge Center, the report presents research by the FPC Directory Models Work Group (DMWG) on six directory overlays to faster payments systems across the globe.The directory overlays profiled in the report include Bizum, Interac, M-Pesa, Pix, Swish, and Unified Payments Interface (UPI). The DMWG International Best Practices Subgroup conducted the robust research with the intention of evaluating how each overlay leveraged directories to support efficiency, experience, and security objectives while seeking to fuel adoption of faster payments within their respective markets.”
