## Resource

In this episode, Craig Jeffery speaks with Paul Galloway of Strategic Treasurer about the shift toward real-time treasury and instant payments.

The conversation also covers fraud risk, payment finality, approval workflows, transaction limits, alerts, and why stronger front-end controls are critical as organizations move toward more immediate payment environments.
