Boston, April 7, 2021 –Financial institutions that either issue credit and debit cards or process payments on behalf of merchants are struggling to remain competitive in the face of the degree of change in the payments space. Many are dealing with legacy platforms that are unable to support new offerings or rapidly adjust to new requirements. While some FIs operate in-house payment systems, many use third-party software payment processing platforms, and that category has grown into a US$7 billion industry. This market is difficult to dimension because of the complexity of the space and the variety of different approaches taken by vendors.
