Real-time means different things to different treasurers, yet it consistently remains high on the agenda. Tom Alford (TMI) sits down with Steven Lenaerts (BNP Paribas) to explore why treasurers should view real-time as a catalyst for greater speed, insight and control.

Steven identifies key real-time payment options, highlighting where they deliver meaningful value. He also examines how security, tokenisation and AI are shaping the next phase of payments innovation, and offers practical guidance for treasurers who recognise real-time's potential but need a clear path forward towards implementation.
