# Summary

Web 3.0 will impact the majority of industries. Below are some of the potential impacts of Web 3.0 on the existing digital payments ecosystems:

### **Impact on cross-border payments:**

Web 3.0 technology will enable cross-border payments by connecting global banks and making the system interoperable, efficient and affordable. Banks will have a more simplified process for liquidity management and treasury operations. By incorporating Web 3.0 technology, the cost of international payment transactions can be reduced to a level comparable with that of domestic payments. A leading technology company is working to simultaneously clear and settle cross-border payments in real time. This will allow for faster payment processing and lower clearing costs. In addition, it will increase efficiency and facilitate a robust network that eliminates multiple stakeholders from processing transactions, thereby enhancing the security of transactions.&#x20;

A payment gateway driven by blockchain technology could facilitate global payments. The speed of transactions will be significantly faster than that of payments routed through conventional banking channels, which can take up to three days to get processed.

The practice enables customers to share their financial data with third-party providers **live Pork Inu** through application programming interfaces (APIs).
