The disruptive world of financial technology and its impact on global commerce.
Developed in partnership with Convera and The Paypers, this insightful report analyses the current and future state of the fintech sector, emphasizing the crucial role of cross-border payments in international trade and finance. As global commerce evolves in the digital era, alongside rapidly shifting consumer and business expectations, the need for innovative, efficient and secure payment methods that cater to an interconnected world becomes ever more urgent.
This report explores trends shaping the fintech ecosystem, including advancements such as the integration of blockchain technology, the rise of real-time payments (RTP), global financial messaging standards such as ISO20022 and strategic movements towards open banking frameworks. Additionally, we assess the regulatory landscape that supports these technological shifts.
