Contrary to the logical belief, it&#8217;s more complicated than just taking money from one bank account and placing it into the other.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">P2P, or peer-to-peer transactions, represent a direct exchange of funds between individuals (peers), bypassing traditional financial intermediaries. The process includes two parts: clearing and settlement, which help to keep clear records of transactions and accurately transfer funds from countless transactions happening throughout the day.<\/span><\/p><h3>Clearing<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clearing is the process of validating transactions\u2019 details, which includes identity verification, liquidity checks, and data aggregation. Since the banks handle many transactions throughout any period of time, most of them are consolidated into a single amount during the clearing process. Let\u2019s break it down in more detail:<\/span><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Initiation.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> During this stage, bank A initiates the transfer to bank B through a request from a client of bank A to send funds to a client of bank B;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Verification.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The banks validate the transaction, making sure that their customers have sufficient funds in their accounts and confirming their identities;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Transmission of instructions.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Bank A sends a payment instruction to bank B, which includes all relevant details such as the amount to be transferred, account numbers, and any other necessary information;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Interbank communication.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Two banks communicate through a secure network on transaction details. This way, they can check if they have consistent and accurate information.<\/span><\/li><\/ol><h3>Settlement<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having all the required information, the banks can exchange funds. That process is called settlement, where the banks use aggregated transaction data through a set period and just exchange the difference of those transactions. It happens through several stages:<\/span><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Fund transfer. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Settlement is the actual transfer of funds from bank A to bank B. Bank A will debit its account and send instructions to the central bank to credit the account of bank B. For instance, if bank A had to transfer the total amount of 300 to bank B for the day, and bank B had to transfer the 350 to bank A, bank B just sends the difference \u2013 50 \u2013 to bank A.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Transfer confirmation.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Once the central bank processes the instructions, bank A&#8217;s account is credited with the amount. Bank A then confirms the receipt of the funds.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Account update.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Both banks update their customer accounts accordingly. Bank A will credit its customer&#8217;s account, and bank B will debit its customer&#8217;s account.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Transaction finalization.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The transaction is finalized once all the above steps are completed successfully. Both banks maintain transaction records for reconciliation, auditing, and regulatory compliance.<\/span><\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf3c389 elementor-widget-tablet__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"cf3c389\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/innowise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"A closer look at the transaction process\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTU4OTc4LCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvaW5ub3dpc2UuY29tXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDI0XC8wM1wvMS5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1001\" height=\"970\" src=\"https:\/\/innowise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-158978\" alt=\"A closer look at the transaction process\" srcset=\"https:\/\/innowise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1.jpg 1001w, https:\/\/innowise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1-300x291.jpg 300w, https:\/\/innowise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1-768x744.jpg 768w, https:\/\/innowise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1-12x12.jpg 12w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-efc6e7e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"efc6e7e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The exchange of information between <a href=\"https:\/\/innowise.com\/industries\/banking\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">banks<\/span><\/a> and other <a href=\"https:\/\/innowise.com\/industries\/finance\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">financial institutions<\/span><\/a> is facilitated by the advanced technological infrastructure. Many big organizations use SWIFT \u2013 The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication \u2013 to deliver transaction reports in a secure and standardized manner.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, various countries have developed their own systems for P2P transactions, reflecting unique market demands and regulatory environments. For example, the UPI system in India allows instant P2P transfers via mobile platforms.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we can see, clearing and settlement include a lot of information flowing between the actors. The complex nature of those processes is where many issues of P2P transactions stem from.<\/span><\/p><h2>Navigating international P2P transaction challenges<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">International P2P transactions face numerous hiccups due to complex global financial infrastructures. The differences in technology and security standards of financial institutions across the globe contribute to transaction issues, increasing the time it takes for the funds to get to the recipient\u2019s account and adding to the workload for finance professionals. Here\u2019s a more detailed breakdown of the prominent P2P transaction challenges:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Data format discrepancies.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Banks worldwide store their data in different formats, which they need to reinterpret to communicate with other banks. Because of that, misinterpretations and delays frequently occur;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Compliance complexity.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To protect people from fraud, national governments impose security rules, which the local banks must comply with. When transferring money across countries, the banks have to conduct compliance checks, adding another layer of complexity to the whole endeavor;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Time zone constraints.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> By definition, international banks process transactions coming from different time zones. Given that they process them only during their working hours, customers often have to wait longer for the funds to reach the recipient;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Legacy technology.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Many banks still rely on outdated technology to handle their workflows. Since they serve thousands of clients, from private individuals to large corporations, they cannot tolerate the downtime required to update their systems;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>High funding cost.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To perform a transaction, both parties involved need to have sufficient funds, which means banks are required to have substantial liquidity;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Intermediary inefficiency.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sometimes, a transaction might involve multiple intermediaries in a transaction chain, and that may lead to errors and delays;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Absent competition.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> There\u2019s not much competition in interbank communication against institutions like SWIFT, Visa, and MasterCard.

Businesses have built online stores or set up shops on social media platforms to reach their customers through geographical barriers. At the same time, more customers embraced the benefits of getting their food, entertainment, and goods online.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to that shift, digital transactions between businesses and consumers are now ubiquitous, which has many fraudsters jumping at an opportunity. The data also reflects that: after costing at around $29 billion in 2019 and 2020, the value lost to card fraud grew to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/1394119\/global-card-fraud-losses\/\"target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopen noopener noreffer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$33.45 billion<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in 2022, up by 15%. With more users getting affected by fraud, ensuring the security of P2P payments becomes paramount, and all actors involved in the financial operations take measures to protect the users.<\/span>\n<h3>PCI Security Standards Council<\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) is a global organization that maintains, evolves, and promotes PCI standards for the safety of cardholder data across the globe. The council was founded by major financial institutions like Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and JCB in 2006 as a response to growing concerns around payment card security.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Council defines operational and technical requirements for organizations that handle branded credit cards, educates the stakeholders on the importance of protecting the cardholder data, provides security training, and works with the community to update the standards so that they can respond to new threats effectively. In terms of software development, PCI SSC also has a set of requirements for developers to comply with if they build apps that support online payments.<\/span>\n<h3>Payment Application Data Security Standard<\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS) is a set of requirements that helps software vendors develop secure payment applications. The standards define the types of data the developers can and cannot store and allow them to comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The standard prohibits the developers from storing sensitive cardholder data, including full magnetic stripe, CVV2, or PIN. It also requires the developers to regularly update the software to protect it from ever-emerging vulnerabilities, encrypt the cardholders\u2019 data, limit businesses\u2019 access to said data, monitor access to system components, and respond to suspicious activity.<\/span>\n<h3>Point-to-point encryption<\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Point-to-point encryption, or P2PE, helps protect the data from unauthorized access as it travels across data points. As cardholders make purchases, they transmit their information across bank and merchant networks, making it vulnerable to interception by third parties. Encryption makes the data unreadable as it travels to a secure decryption environment.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a brief breakdown of how the P2PE process works:<\/span>\n<ol>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Encryption at the point of sale.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> As soon as the cardholder swipes or taps their card on a payment terminal, P2PE technology encrypts their data. The sensitive data is converted into a complex code that is not easily decipherable;<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Secure transmission.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The encrypted data travels to the payment processor through the merchant\u2019s network. Encryption guarantees that the data will not be compromised even if it is intercepted during this transmission;<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Controlled access to decryption keys.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Encrypted data requires decryption keys. The keys are kept in a highly secure, controlled environment, often managed by a third-party service provider. So, if a merchant&#8217;s system is compromised, the attacker won\u2019t gain access to the keys and won\u2019t be able to read the data;<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Decryption in a secure environment.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Just as the decryption keys are kept separately, the data is also decrypted only in a separate and secure environment.

Since the cardholder data is encrypted and never exposed in their systems, they have fewer requirements to meet for a secure payment environment.<\/span><\/p><h2>The abundance of P2P transaction methods<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The evolution of P2P transactions has given users various ways to transmit funds. Each method can boast its own set of features, use cases, and conveniences, but it also comes with distinct security considerations.<\/span><\/p><h3>Card-based transactions<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cards are among the most convenient cashless payment methods. As they continued to evolve, the ways of storing and transmitting cardholder data across merchant networks also changed, intending to strengthen payment security. The payment cards store the data on three carriers: magnetic strip, EMV chip, and RFID chip.<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Magnetic strip cards.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The card stores the data on a magnetic strip alongside it and transmits the information upon swiping the card on a POS terminal. These are less secure due to easy cloning of data;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>EMV chip cards.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The data is stored on a much more secure chip, which includes a cryptogram key that protects the cardholder\u2019s data. The cryptogram key facilitates identity checks for the card and approval from the card issuer. Only the card issuer has access to the cryptogram key, which makes fraud significantly harder;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>RFID chip cards.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> RFID chips allow for contactless payments, i.e. transmitting the data throughout the transaction without direct physical contact with a POS terminal. The data travels from the card to the merchant network when the card is in close vicinity (up to 4 cm or 1,5 inches) to the terminal. Systems like PayWave and PayPass use RFID or NFC technology for secure and fast transactions.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Tokenized transactions<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With smartphones becoming the primary computing devices for a significant part of the world, FinTech\u00a0 vendors are looking for ways to make handling one&#8217;s finances even more seamless. Online banking is already a given for many people, but with certain technologies becoming more accessible, the world of P2P transactions is also catching up.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Modern smartphones and wearables from almost any budget come with an NFC (Near Field Communication) chip built into the motherboard. It enables data transmission in close vicinity between devices, just like RFID chips that you find on debit and credit cards. The hardware paved the way for the adoption of tokenized transactions, and now users can do away with their cards completely and pay for things by just tapping the POS terminal with their smartphone or watch.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the most popular tokenized payment systems are Apple Pay and Google Pay. However, many regional FinTech\u00a0 companies and banks offer their solutions primarily on Android, as it doesn&#8217;t restrict access to NFC for third-party applications. With tokenized transactions, users create a clone of their credit card stored on their phone or wearable. Each transaction is assigned a unique, encrypted token, ensuring that actual card details are not shared with the merchant.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f730e4 elementor-widget-tablet__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5f730e4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/innowise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/4.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"The abundance of P2P transaction methods\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTU4OTgxLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvaW5ub3dpc2UuY29tXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDI0XC8wM1wvNC5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1001\" height=\"601\" src=\"https:\/\/innowise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/4.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-158981\" alt=\"The abundance of P2P transaction methods\" srcset=\"https:\/\/innowise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/4.jpg 1001w, https:\/\/innowise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/4-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/innowise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/4-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/innowise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/4-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-abe64f4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"abe64f4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Point of sale (POS) innovations<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is also the other end of peer-to-peer transactions to talk about. <a href=\"https:\/\/innowise.com\/industries\/ecommerce\/pos-development\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Point of Sale (POS) technology<\/span><\/a> has seen significant technological innovations in recent years: hardware POS systems developed to support a growing variety of payment options, and Contactless Payments on COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) solutions, also known as CPoC, emerged as an alternative. These innovations have transformed the way businesses conduct transactions and interact with customers.<\/span><\/p><h3>Hardware POS<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hardware POSs are separate devices meant to receive and validate transaction information. Over the years, they have acquired several hardware components that allow them to receive payments from multiple sources: strip readers to interact with magnetic strips, EMV readers to recognize EMV chips, and NFC chips to receive tokenized transactions from smartphones and wearables. The downside of hardware POSs is the cost of the entire system: it ranges from $20 up to $1000 for an individual device and from $260 to $3400 for the device kit. In addition, the software that runs the whole thing must also be purchased for upwards of $400.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-47e9b72 elementor-widget-tablet__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"47e9b72\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/innowise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/5.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Point of sale (POS) innovations\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTU4OTgyLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvaW5ub3dpc2UuY29tXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDI0XC8wM1wvNS5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1001\" height=\"601\" src=\"https:\/\/innowise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/5.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-158982\" alt=\"Point of sale (POS) innovations\" srcset=\"https:\/\/innowise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/5.jpg 1001w, https:\/\/innowise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/5-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/innowise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/5-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/innowise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/5-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e9781d3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e9781d3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>CPoC solutions<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CPoC solutions are software-based POS systems that offer cost-effectiveness but vary in security and compliance needs. The concept includes using a separate device, like a tablet or a phone, with dedicated software installed that processes transactions. An NFC chip is utilized to read tokenized transactions, while credit card payments require a separate card reader that attaches to the device.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Software-based POSs are easily integrable so that retailers can build their payment ecosystem with contactless payment capabilities at a lower up-front cost.

These methods offer innovative ways to conduct transactions, leveraging technology to make payments more convenient and accessible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3>Mobile-based solutions<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some regions, mobile phones use SIM cards as virtual EMV chips for transactions. Users can load their payment card details onto the SIM card and make contactless payments by tapping their smartphones on compatible POS terminals.<\/span><\/p><h3>USSD-based payments<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) is a protocol that allows users to access services through text-based menus on their mobile phones. Users can initiate payments, check balances, and perform other financial operations by sending USSD codes. The method enables transactions without an internet connection, which is crucial in less connected areas.<\/span><\/p><h3>QR codes and 2D barcodes<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">QR codes and barcodes are widely used for payments in many Asian countries. Customers scan the code displayed by the merchant using their mobile banking apps or other payment apps to initiate transactions. It is a more accessible alternative to tokenized transactions: while they require an NFC chip to initiate a transaction, which many smartphones might not have, you only need a camera to scan the QR code. Using QR codes and barcodes, payment software providers cover a larger user base.<\/span><\/p><h3>Sound-based payments<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sound-based payment methods use ultrasonic or audible sounds emitted by devices to transmit payment information. Users can make payments by placing their smartphones near the emitting device. This emerging technology is useful in areas with low smartphone penetration.<\/span><\/p><h3>Open-source financial platforms<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open-source platforms, like Mifos-based payment hub, are engineered to empower organizations to quickly set up and manage their financial operations, providing customers with streamlined P2P transaction experience. Unlike traditional financial systems, which often involve lengthy and complex integration processes, open-source platforms can be implemented quickly.
