Revolutionizing Global Payouts with Real-Time Transactions | Runa at Fintech Meetup 2025

In today’s fast-moving financial world, companies are always on the lookout for better ways to manage payments and boost efficiency. Traditionally, payouts have been seen as just an expense, loaded with various fees and complications. But Tyron Bennion, Runa‘s Chief Revenue Officer, is changing that view and finding new ways to make payouts work better and add value.

Simplifying Payouts with a Better Payment System

One big issue with old-school payouts is how scattered the payment systems are. Companies usually have to use different systems like ACH, wire transfers, and local bank networks, all of which come with their own problems and costs. Runa is tackling this by combining various payout methods into one streamlined payment system. This change gives businesses more flexibility in managing costs while making payouts quicker and easier.

Instead of just sticking to traditional banking methods, Pay2Card is becoming a popular global payment option that allows for real-time transactions and clear tracking. Unlike local fast payment networks—which can be limited by geography—Pay2Card lets businesses send money globally, quickly and confidently.

Meeting Business Needs and Giving Consumers More Choice

Corporate payouts can be tricky because they often rely on consumer payment solutions that are awkwardly adapted for business use. This usually results in a clunky system that needs lots of integrations and workarounds. By broadening payout options, businesses can better meet customer needs. Many recipients are open to paying for the convenience of faster and more flexible payouts, creating new revenue chances for companies.

Cross-border payments have often been slowed down by old banking methods. Wire transfers and electronic funds transfers (EFTs) can feel like a “black box,” making it tough to follow where the money is and what the final amount will be due to various bank fees and exchange rates.

Boosting Security and User Experience

The Pay2Card process is that users have to enter a 16-digit card number. This is still easier than remembering a bank account number, but further improvements could make things even smoother. Features like biometric authentication (like Face ID or fingerprint scanning) could simplify things and make it easier for people to use.

Also, adding more visibility and control to Pay2Card transactions can help businesses manage their treasury better. Real-time tracking means that both companies and customers always know what’s happening with a payment, improving support and helping with financial planning.
