GLASTONBURY, CT (June 18, 2019) — PayrailzTM, an artificial intelligence (AI), digital payments company offering smarter, more engaging payment experiences to banks and credit unions, has committed to bringing faster payments capabilities to its bank and credit union clients through the RTP® network developed by The Clearing House (TCH).

“Our bank and credit union clients need financial technology tools that align with their personal and business needs. Providing real-time payments is an important step for us, allowing us to deliver important new functionality to our bank and credit union clients and their customers or members, thereby improving their banking experience,” said Payrailz CEO, Fran Duggan. “Working with TCH gives us the confidence that we will be able to achieve these goals, while at the same time providing our clients with banking capabilities that they have come to expect in a cost effective manner. At Payrailz our vision is to provide smarter, more engaging and faster payment experiences and we are very excited to enable the RTP network to help us further deliver on this promise.”
