Utilizing brand new technology to build an Instant Payments feature for an existing app.

ExcheQ is a payment app that has supported traditional ACH transactions — electronic bank-to-bank transfers that are finalized on a next-business-day basis. They wanted to upgrade the experience and committed to being the first-to-market with a cutting-edge, person-to-person (P2P) Instant Payment feature that sends money in real-time without the need for third parties or additional accounts.

Making it happen called for a clear technology roadmap, a redesign of administrative functions, and a partner who could quickly learn new industry requirements and resolve technology challenges.
