Os pagamentos n\u00e3o est\u00e3o sob um tipo de press\u00e3o. Est\u00e3o sob quatro, todas ao mesmo tempo. E a forma como as institui\u00e7\u00f5es respondem a cada uma determinar\u00e1 onde estar\u00e3o as suas opera\u00e7\u00f5es daqui a cinco anos.   <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4>A concorr\u00eancia mudou para novo territ\u00f3rio<\/h4>\n<div class=\"right\">\n<p>Os bancos sempre competiram em pagamentos. Fluxos transfronteiri\u00e7os, compensa\u00e7\u00e3o dom\u00e9stica, esquemas regionais: estes s\u00e3o campos de batalha familiares. O que mudou \u00e9 quem est\u00e1 a aparecer. Fornecedores de esquemas, incluindo Mastercard e Visa, est\u00e3o a avan\u00e7ar para espa\u00e7os que anteriormente deixavam aos bancos. Entretanto, as multinacionais est\u00e3o a fazer uma pergunta completamente diferente: porqu\u00ea usar a cadeia de banca correspondente?    <\/p>\n<p>As stablecoins e os pagamentos program\u00e1veis tornam essa pergunta real. Movimentar dinheiro globalmente dentro de uma organiza\u00e7\u00e3o, ou atrav\u00e9s de uma base de clientes, sem tocar nos trilhos tradicionais j\u00e1 n\u00e3o \u00e9 um conceito a ser debatido em documentos t\u00e9cnicos. Est\u00e1 a ser pilotado. Em alguns casos, j\u00e1 est\u00e1 em funcionamento.   <\/p>\n<p>Onde tudo isto vai parar \u00e9 genuinamente incerto. Os limites regulamentares em torno das stablecoins est\u00e3o a tornar-se vis\u00edveis. Como ser\u00e1 o fluxo de dinheiro dentro desses limites, e onde os bancos se encaixam, ainda est\u00e1 em aberto. As institui\u00e7\u00f5es que aguardam por total clareza antes de preparar as suas opera\u00e7\u00f5es chegar\u00e3o demasiado tarde.   <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4>O custo \u00e9 superior ao que a maioria dos or\u00e7amentos operacionais reflete<\/h4>\n<div class=\"right\">\n<p>Uma opera\u00e7\u00e3o de pagamentos moderna executa m\u00faltiplas plataformas em paralelo: sistemas transfronteiri\u00e7os, compensa\u00e7\u00e3o local e regional, trilhos de pagamentos instant\u00e2neos. Cada um tem os seus pr\u00f3prios requisitos de integra\u00e7\u00e3o, a sua pr\u00f3pria pilha de conformidade \u2014 KYC, AML, pr\u00e9-autoriza\u00e7\u00e3o, controlos de liquidez. O custo cumulativo de manter tudo isto atualizado \u00e9 significativo e crescente.  <\/p>\n<p>O custo que tende a ser subestimado, no entanto, \u00e9 a gest\u00e3o de exce\u00e7\u00f5es. Os pagamentos que falham, s\u00e3o sinalizados ou ficam fora dos fluxos de processamento automatizado ainda s\u00e3o resolvidos em grande parte por pessoas. Estas perseguem contrapartes, trabalham atrav\u00e9s de mensagens n\u00e3o estruturadas e reconciliam resultados manualmente. Em muitas opera\u00e7\u00f5es, uma por\u00e7\u00e3o substancial dos recursos humanos est\u00e1 neste trabalho. Assim como uma por\u00e7\u00e3o substancial do risco de satisfa\u00e7\u00e3o do cliente.    <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/smart.stream\/pt-pt\/solutions\/smart-agents\/\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\">Smart Agents<\/a> est\u00e3o a fazer uma diferen\u00e7a mensur\u00e1vel aqui. Estamos a ver os custos de gest\u00e3o de exce\u00e7\u00f5es ca\u00edrem entre 50 a 70 %, com a IA a assumir a carga de trabalho manual para que as equipas de opera\u00e7\u00f5es possam concentrar-se em decis\u00f5es que realmente requerem julgamento. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4>O tempo costumava ser um recurso. Agora \u00e9 uma restri\u00e7\u00e3o. <\/h4>\n<div class=\"right\">\n<p>Durante a maior parte da hist\u00f3ria banc\u00e1ria, os ciclos de liquida\u00e7\u00e3o davam \u00e0s equipas de opera\u00e7\u00f5es espa\u00e7o para trabalhar. Os erros podiam ser detetados e corrigidos. A liquidez podia ser gerida. As exce\u00e7\u00f5es podiam ser investigadas antes que algo se tornasse urgente.   <\/p>\n<p>Os pagamentos instant\u00e2neos removeram esse espa\u00e7o. Quando a liquida\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e9 medida em segundos, a janela para intervir fecha antes que a maioria dos processos manuais tenha sequer come\u00e7ado. <\/p>\n<p>Abordar isto requer mais do que velocidade. Requer remover os passos manuais da resolu\u00e7\u00e3o de exce\u00e7\u00f5es inteiramente, para que quando algo precisa de uma decis\u00e3o humana, a pessoa seja envolvida no momento da escolha em vez de no in\u00edcio de uma investiga\u00e7\u00e3o demorada. O objetivo n\u00e3o \u00e9 remover pessoas das opera\u00e7\u00f5es de pagamentos. \u00c9 coloc\u00e1-las onde podem acrescentar algo que uma m\u00e1quina n\u00e3o pode.   <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4>A complexidade est\u00e1 a aumentar mais rapidamente do que a especializa\u00e7\u00e3o consegue acompanhar<\/h4>\n<div class=\"right\">\n<p>Cada novo trilho de pagamentos que uma institui\u00e7\u00e3o adiciona traz trabalho de integra\u00e7\u00e3o, sobrecarga de manuten\u00e7\u00e3o e uma necessidade de pessoas que compreendam como esse trilho se comporta: tecnicamente, operacionalmente e em termos de como falha. O problema \u00e9 que os trilhos est\u00e3o a multiplicar-se mais rapidamente do que o conjunto de talentos que os suporta. <\/p>\n<p>Parte da resposta \u00e9 capturar o conhecimento institucional em sistemas em vez de o deixar nas pessoas. Mas a arquitetura \u00e9 igualmente importante, e \u00e9 aqui que a conversa sobre IA se torna complicada. <\/p>\n<p>Os pagamentos transportam dados cr\u00edticos de clientes. Se pretende implementar agentes de IA nos seus fluxos de trabalho de gest\u00e3o de exce\u00e7\u00f5es, enfrenta um desafio real: como usar IA sem que esses dados saiam do seu ambiente e v\u00e3o para um modelo baseado na nuvem? Pode ser resolvido. Mas requer escolhas deliberadas e aten\u00e7\u00e3o sustentada. As institui\u00e7\u00f5es que tratam a governa\u00e7\u00e3o de dados como uma reflex\u00e3o tardia encontrar-se-\u00e3o expostas ou incapazes de realizar os benef\u00edcios operacionais que procuram.    <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4>Como a Smartstream apoia as opera\u00e7\u00f5es de pagamentos<\/h4>\n<div class=\"right\">\n<p>Estas quatro press\u00f5es n\u00e3o se resolvem por si pr\u00f3prias.
