27. Grain Leverages RTP® network to Provide Instant Loans to Consumers

Consumers often need access to funds to cover an unexpected expense, such as a flat tire or a repair to a faulty hot water heater. While there are a variety of loans available on the market, often the earliest a customer could get money into their bank account was the next day. Grain, which analyzes a consumer’s cash flow to determine eligibility, now sends loan payments instantly to customers via the RTP® network so they can have cash in hand right away – a benefit to the customer and a competitive advantage for Grain, which works with Dwolla and Cross River Bank to connect to the RTP network. Hear about Grain’s real-time payments journey and how it connected to the RTP network in order to provide customers with a better experience and access to funds instantly.
