In this guide learn how to deliver better payment experiences and improve how you receive funds in a fast-changing environment.

 

3 Important Trends You Can't Ignore

 

Everyone's going digital

And it’s happening fast. Online self-service, uptake of the digital economy, and the Open Data revolution are accelerating at a blinding pace. And COVID-19 added rocket fuel to this growth.

 

More ways to pay

Customers want the payment method that suits them – fast, convenient and secure. Paying by open banking is new but it fits the bill. There's no need to share sensitive payment details, type a long card number or enter a billing address.

 

Cloud changed the game

You can’t keep up with this rapid rate of change if your systems and software aren’t built for it. But in the world of finance, cloud systems pose a risk so staying compliant is mission-critical.

 

Let’s face it, your customers have never had so much choice.

Taking payments is easier said than done. 

Getting money in should be easy, but expectations have shifted. 

Our research showed a rise in the number of cancelled Direct Debits during the pandemic. Collecting recurring or one-off payments while providing a great customer experience got a lot tougher. 

Businesses realised they needed to offer alternative payment options as a back-up – these are crucial if a payer has insufficient funds and requires an extension or a part-payment option.
