Cross-border Payments

Cross-border payments are fundamental to international trade, economic development and families. Cross-border payments are increasingly in the spotlight. Headlines about payment flows, new payment services and economic sanctions are commonplace. Still, unaddressed challenges remain. Policymakers, NGOs, thought leaders, and industry participants are signaling a renewed urgency to make these payments faster, more efficient, transparent, and accessible. Fintechs are finding creative ways to improve on existing payments rails. Many opportunities remain to bring cross border payments products and services to specific use cases, including remittance, retail, and business payments. What part will our clients play in this evolution?
