What’s possible in global payments continues to be redefined, revisited, and reimagined. The traditional lines between banking, payments, and commerce have all but dissolved. The rules that once limited who participates in money movement — and how that movement happens — have been rewritten. This connected world is creating new opportunities to shape the future of commerce and financial services.
The Global Payments Report from FIS is designed to help financial institutions and merchants navigate global and local trends in payments.
The Current Global Payments Landscape
The seventh edition of The Global Payments Report offers a snapshot of the current payments landscape: globally, by region, and in 41 select markets. The report tracks consumer payments when shopping online and at the point of sale, identifies key payment trends, and projects scenarios through 2025 for payment method shares as well as market size. A series of thought leadership articles, with perspectives on current themes in the world of payments from FIS payments experts, complement original research.
The report has two parts, outlined below.
Global and Regional Trends
Part one focuses on global and regional trends in the payments industry. See what FIS experts think about the trends transforming the payments ecosystem, including:
- How super apps have transformed Asia and attracted tech giants that want to own a piece of the super-app pie.
- What’s in store for merchants and financial institutions as crypto and central bank digital currencies continue to shake up the global financial landscape.
- How embedded finance is changing the way customers manage their lives.
- What the evolution of real-time payments means for consumers, businesses, and financial institutions.
- How financial technology is influencing financial inclusion.
- Key developments transforming Europe’s payments landscape.
Breakdowns for Global Payments by Individual Country
Part two focuses on individual countries and examines trends in the way consumers pay for things. This section is particularly helpful for international FIs and merchants looking to customize their business plans for local markets.
The section provides market guides for 41 countries, each of which starts off with an overview of the financial trends in the country, and then describes how consumers purchase goods at points of sale and in e-commerce. The authors then use their research to project how this will change by 2025, complete with sleek graphs.
