One of the most important current payments trends is the tremendous progress being made in letting people and organizations pay and get paid anywhere and at any time. This includes complex payments like cross-border and B2B transactions. Specific propositions include account-to-account transfers, request to pay, buy now, pay later (BNPL) and super-apps.
The next revolution in payments will likely come from the logical extension of this trend—allowing customers to pay anyhow they want. This trend will be given impetus by the move from walled-garden payments services towards open networks with lower barriers to entry.
