The financial services landscape is transforming dramatically as the EU's Instant Payment Regulation takes effect, requiring payments to be processed in under 10 seconds. This seismic shift creates unprecedented challenges for compliance teams responsible for sanctions screening and transaction monitoring.

This episode brings together experts Eve Whittaker from LexisNexis Risk Solutions and Eglė Kontautaitė from AMALYZE to explore the complex implications of these new requirements. They break down the regulation's timeline, with banks now required to receive instant payments and soon needing to send them and offer verification of payee services by October 2025.

At the heart of this discussion is a fundamental tension between speed and security. The 10-second rule forces financial institutions to make binary accept-or-reject decisions without the luxury of freezing suspicious transactions for further review. This represents a radical departure from previous practices where compliance teams had more time to investigate potential risks. This could lead to higher rejection rates as organizations adopt lower risk appetites when forced to make split-second decisions.
