FIS Harmonizes Payments With Launch of Unified Money Movement Hub
Designed as a turnkey solution for a wide range of institutions – from super regional banks to community banks – the Money Movement Hub supports a modernized payments journey that can change with each client's needs. The flexible, cloud-native platform is core-agnostic and allows banks to start with the payment types they need today, then add new capabilities over time through a 'pay-as-you-grow' model. It delivers unified and secure money movement experiences that can be embedded across a variety of customer channels, helping institutions meet digital demands quickly and efficiently.
While consumers' expectations for payment ease and efficiency have increased, many institutions are struggling to meet these demands using dated and disparate technology, leaving them exposed to settlement delays and security vulnerabilities. In fact, 57% of organizations that participated in the FIS Harmony Gap survey reported experiencing friction in payments processing, or when money is in motion, at least once a week.
The FIS Money Movement Hub helps to harmonize the payments ecosystem within a financial institution by facilitating the integration of major payment networks within one solution, via a single API. As well as helping to reduce complexity for organizations, the solution can increase the accuracy of payments, improve liquidity, and help to quickly remediate security risks. This innovative payments hub responds to evolving consumer demands for faster and more efficient payments, as well as regulatory changes, and aims to transform financial institutions' money movement capabilities.
Gareth Lodge, principal analyst at Celent commented, 'Payments are the one thing that unite every customer at every bank, and as their expectations continue to change, they expect more. While our Dimensions research found that 45% of U.S. banks have major payments modernization plans in the next 18 months, these banks need to ensure that they choose a solution that doesn't just meet the needs of today, but also tomorrow.'
Jim Johnson, co-president, Banking Solutions at FIS, commented, 'This new solution is a testament to FIS' dedication to unlocking financial technology that efficiently moves money between the world's banks, consumers and businesses. Our new Money Movement Hub can help to reduce the complexity and costs associated with managing multiple payment channels, enabling funds to flow with speed, accuracy and security throughout the money lifecycle.'

Why Major Retailers Are Secretly Planning Their Own Stablecoins (and What It Means for Investors)
Key Points Some top retailers are eyeing stablecoins as a way to cut costs, boost profitability, and improve operational efficiency. Retailers can also use stablecoins as part of their branded loyalty programs, or to improve the overall shopping experience. In addition to retailers, a growing number of banks, payment providers, and tech firms plan to issue stablecoins. 10 stocks we like better than Circle Internet Group › The passage of landmark stablecoin legislation this summer could have far-reaching implications beyond just the financial sector. The Genius Act opens the door for nonbanks to issue stablecoins of their own, and that could greatly expand the number of retailers that offer stablecoins to their customers. In June, the Wall Street Journal reported that both Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Walmart (NYSE: WMT) were secretly planning stablecoins of their own. Presumably, all they needed was the ink to dry on the new stablecoin legislation, and they could get started. Here's why stablecoins could change everything for them. Profitability and cost savings As they say, always follow the money. And the money in this case is the potential cost savings from using stablecoins rather than credit cards for payments. Typically, credit card processing fees are as high as 2%-3% per transaction. So the ability to cut costs by moving everything to blockchain payment technology is certainly alluring. But here's the thing: You need to have enough scale to make any stablecoin project worth it. That's why Amazon and Walmart are two of the most prominent names involved in the stablecoin discussion right now. Quite simply, they are retail behemoths. When you're making billions of dollars in sales, savings of 2%-3% can really rack up. Moreover, there has been discussion that stablecoins could be used to pay employees, logistics partners, and other members of the retail supply chain, especially those located overseas. Imagine tiny cost savings suddenly popping up all over your business by going all-in on blockchain technology. As a result of all these potential cost savings and operational efficiencies, even Visa (NYSE: V) is exploring new projects that leverage stablecoins, including stablecoin-linked cards. In many ways, the writing is on the wall: Stablecoins are coming to retail, in one form or another. A better customer experience Let's assume that the big retail giants are more than just penny-pinching corporations attempting to boost the bottom line. Many of them really do want to create a better customer experience, and stablecoins could play a role here, too. First, they could choose to reinvent their customer loyalty programs to feature stablecoins. Instead of "cash back" at the end of the year, they might be able to offer other incentives that reward customers for using stablecoins at the point of sale. And stablecoins might improve the overall shopping experience. That's because blockchain technology speeds up transaction settlement times, from days to just seconds. This could, for example, vastly improve the speed that you get refunds for purchases. How many times have you requested a refund, and been told, "Oh, it should show up in your account in a few days"? Imagine having access to that money nearly instantaneously. Of course, getting customers to embrace stablecoins might be a tough sell. According to top retail industry analysts, one way to get over the adoption hurdle is by pitching stablecoins as a sort of gift card or branded loyalty card that you would present at the point of sale. You wouldn't need to know anything about blockchain technology, crypto, or how stablecoins actually work. Everything would be seamless, and happen behind the scenes. Implications for investors Undeniably, stablecoins represent a huge step for retailers. They will need a tremendous amount of tech savvy in order to get all the blockchain payment technology working as planned. So why not leave all the heavy lifting to Silicon Valley tech firms, some of whom are also planning to launch new stablecoins? Moreover, as the latest Motley Fool research on stablecoins points out, the largest banks still dwarf even the biggest stablecoin issuers. So why not leave the job of stablecoins to banks and other financial institutions, some of whom have said they plan to launch their own stablecoins soon? All of which leads me to think: Maybe investing directly in retailers is not the best way to play the stablecoin trend. Maybe it's better to invest in tech-savvy companies that have strong retail platforms. You could, for example, invest in PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL), which launched a stablecoin of its own in August 2023. Or, you could invest in Shopify (NASDAQ: SHOP), which is now offering stablecoin payment options at the point of sale for e-commerce websites. As for me, I'm still focused on stablecoin issuers such as Circle Internet Group (NYSE: CRCL), which went public in June via a splashy initial public offering. Circle is the issuer of USDC (CRYPTO: USDC), which is the second-most popular stablecoin in the world right now, with a market cap of about $65 billion. It's also the stablecoin of choice for Shopify. At the end of the day, stablecoins could turn out to be a classic "make or buy" decision faced by top retailers. Is it better to make your own stablecoin, or simply buy one that already exists from someone else? My guess is that most retailers will opt for the latter.
