Dave Sissens, chief executive officer of RTGS.Global, sits down with the Digital Monetary Institute’s editor, Lewis McLellan, to discuss the possibilities for improving the quality of the infrastructure underpinning cross-border payments. They discuss the role that RTGS.Global’s platform could play in the future of the wholesale foreign exchange settlement ecosystem and how it might integrate with other payments systems, including CBDCs. They cover payment versus payment settlement, the removal of counterparty risk, the role of decentralisation and what the payments landscape will look like over the next five to 10 years.
