U.S. financial sector faces growing account verification burden, lack of unified rules a problem
As real-time payments spread in the United States, banks are facing rising pressure to authenticate customers and verify recipient accounts before transfers. While transfers are faster, it is often difficult to reverse transactions when money is sent to the wrong account or fraud occurs. Unlike Britain or the European Union, the United States has no nationwide rule mandating strict recipient verification, leading to differing methods and security levels across institutions.
