The dynamic nature of emerging markets creates challenges that have never confronted the developed world, but also opens opportunities for innovation and growth. Payments is an area where this dynamism is already well-established.
Over the next ten years (and beyond) we’re set to see even faster changes in the payments landscape, building on the accelerating growth in electronic payments and the advent of new and disruptive market players. And the emerging markets will be at the forefront of this payments transformation.
Cutting-edge technology will reshape the next-generation payment systems, with both FinTech and established players driving innovation. The payments ecosystem will also be redefined by regulatory interventions, which are balancing the disruption of alternative payment service providers and the reliability of traditional players.
