Real-Time Payments Help Cure Small Business Healthcare Provider Finances

Small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs) in the healthcare provider segment now use real-time payments more widely than other payment rails. PYMNTS Intelligence finds that in the last year, 83% of businesses surveyed either sent or received real-time payments and 57% used real-time rails in both directions.

Moreover, 38% of healthcare provider SMBs identify a real-time payment rail as their most used form of payment. This is more than twice the share that said credit cards or checks were their top method.
