I found a solid overview here that cuts through the noise: https://www.checkasalary.co.uk/blog...ent-solutions-in-modern-business-transactions . Explains the shift toward real-time rails — instant confirmation, always-on availability, better cash-flow forecasting, reduced chargeback risks, and happier customers from immediate access to funds. Discusses adoption trends in 2026, cost structures vs cards/bacs, security perks (like confirmation of payee), and tips for easy integration via APIs or plugins. No jargon overload.
