      Payments modernisation is now imperative. It is not just that the regulatory landscape continues to evolve at pace, requiring organisations to update their systems and processes to remain compliant, important though this clearly is. The bigger picture is that customers are demanding change. Both organisations and consumers now expect a seamless payments experience that is secure, reliable and high-speed – and they want more choices than ever before about how to pay.

      Over the spring and summer months, we surveyed 1,500 Financial Institutions and Retailers worldwide to explore the sheer volume of modernisation, the investment capital, the key drivers and benefits and the challenges they face. We augmented that quantitative survey with a series of qualitative interviews conducted with our own regional subject matter experts, who are on the ground and understand the context of the market.

      We are proud to share the results of this in our 2024 Payments Modernisation Report.
