Visa and Dash Solutions, a digital payment firm, have expanded their collaboration to allow customers to send and receive payments in real-time through eligible cards, bank accounts, and digital wallets. This offering aims to enhance how businesses and consumers handle money, leveraging Visa Direct's real-time payment capabilities.

Real-time Payments

According to the entities, this collaboration targets various sectors, including healthcare and insurance, and seeks to make payment processes efficient. With Visa Direct, healthcare organizations can reportedly digitize these payouts in near real-time under the new offering.

Stephen Faust, the CEO of Dash Solutions, mentioned: "Our collaboration with Visa Direct empowers us to offer an unparalleled disbursement experience through our SpendIT SendIT offering. This means businesses can tailor solutions to their specific needs, ensuring every payout is as efficient and user-friendly as possible."

Additionally, the transition from paper checks to digital payments brings significant cost savings for healthcare providers. By eliminating paper and optimizing payment flows, these organizations can reduce operational costs while enhancing the overall payment experience for their customers. This shift is a testament to how real-time payments can streamline processes and boost efficiency.

This collaboration builds on Dash Solutions' recent acquisition of KyckGlobal, which integrated direct connections with major payment networks, including Visa Direct, into the Dash Solutions platform. This move aims to eliminate the need for additional third-party processors, leading to cost savings and better operations for customers.

Integrating Major Payment Networks

According to the official statement, Dash Solutions has achieved over $50 billion in total payment volume, doubling its disbursement segment and increasing its headcount by 20% in 2023. The company is a payments platform that provides customers with digital payment and engagement program management tools.

Meanwhile, Visa and Mastercard face a legal tussle in the UK after a London tribunal recently approved lawsuits brought by merchants alleging overcharges on interchange fees. The Competition Appeal Tribunal ruled that collective lawsuits against Visa and MasterCard can proceed.

Previously, the payment giants have been involved in numerous lawsuits across the UK. These cases revolve around the fees known as multilateral interchange fees, which retailers are obliged to pay whenever customers use their cards. The lawsuits challenge the multilateral interchange fees charged by the two payment giants when consumers use their cards for purchases.
