In the face of continued economic uncertainty how should financial institutions and other businesses navigate the world of business payments next year?

We put the question to our own subject matter experts, our partners and industry influencers all of whom came together to discuss business payments trends in a series of author posts and podcasts.

Highlights

Topics covered in The 2024 Business Payments Outlook include:

  • Instant or real-time payments adoption
  • ISO 20022 migration
  • Cross-border payments
  • Payments fraud prevention and insider fraud mitigation
  • Pre-validation of bank accounts
  • Mobile migration and the importance of the user experience
  • AI and machine learning
  • Treasury management
  • Cash flow visibility and management
  • Digital transformation
  • Connectivity and interoperability
  • Embedded finance
  • Open banking

"The commercial payments space sometimes becomes an occasion for spirited debate, and in many ways the controls and processes can be more complicated than consumer payments. But debate aside, it’s all about paying and getting paid. Next year will be a time to be proactive and find a way to simplify complex processes."
– Alan Koenigsberg, SVP, Visa
