In this episode of the Merchant Sales Podcast, James Shepherd and Patti Murphy sit down with Jim Colassano, Senior Vice President at The Clearing House, to break down the RTP (Real-Time Payments) network and why instant money movement could reshape merchant settlement, cash flow, disbursements, and business payments.
