BOSTON - Marylandian -- Zareef Hamid (Harvard MBA, former management consultant at BCG and KPMG) has published a new Medium article: Off the (Payment) Rails: How Real-Time, Unified Payment Systems Will Drive the Global Economy.
Hamid's analysis highlights global adoption of real-time payment systems and how unified payment rails enhance economic stability, efficiency, and financial inclusion. The article prominently features India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI), which accounted for 49% of global real-time payments in 2023. Hamid notes India's strategic integration with Singapore's PayNow, creating seamless cross-border transactions and significantly reducing remittance costs.

In contrast, the United States trails significantly in real-time payment adoption, with these systems accounting for just 0.9% of U.S. transactions—boosting GDP by only 0.01%. Referencing Boston Consulting Group (BCG) research, Hamid underscores how other countries, notably South Korea, achieved GDP increases (0.44%) through rapid adoption of real-time digital infrastructures.
Hamid argues that accelerated adoption of unified payment systems is essential for policymakers, financial institutions, and technologists to modernize economies, reduce global inequalities, and strengthen economic resilience through digital finance.
