What marketers call instant pre 08.09.2020
Instant Payments according to Nedbank’s definition of the word
“Instant payments are guaranteed for the recipient to receive the funds, within the same day, though hours may vary.”
“Sometime today payment” I suppose is too accurate and doesn’t sell as well
A payment took 4 hours and is classified as “instant” – the price of marketing
Instant Definition: An instant is an extremely short period of time. … If you say that something happens at a particular instant, you mean that it happens at exactly the time you have been referring to, and you are usually suggesting that it happens quickly or immediately.
