Paying for a hotel room with a credit card, getting a new TV on a debit card, or paying for vegetables on the street via a mobile wallet: digital payments are omnipresent in the everyday life of Indians and have dramatically changed consumer behaviour in the country. ACI Worldwide released a new report that indicated more than 70.3 billion real-time payments transactions were processed globally in 2020, a surge of 41 percent compared to the previous year. This comes as the COVID-19 pandemic dramatically accelerated trends away from cash towards greater reliance on real-time and digital payments, according to the report.
As digital payment has made it convenient for customers to transact, enterprises are faced with surging volumes straining their IT systems. Additionally, it has added threats of potential frauds and suspicious transactions. To ensure the safety in furnishing a digital payment, financial institutions have to be on the lookout for any fraud and prevent them before it impacts the customers and results in a financial loss. What the current system needs is a sophisticated and proactive observability solution providing complete visibility at a transaction level to prevent any failures and instil faith in customers.
