We’re excited to be recognised in Forrester’s new report, Cross-Border Payment Solutions For B2B Landscape 2024 🌍

In the report, Forrester profiles 19 payment provider and highlights these major market trends: 

💡 Finance teams are increasingly demanding interoperability and embedded finance from their providers. 

📈 Geopolitical and economic uncertainties are leading to complex compliance requirements and volatile foreign exchange.

🔗 As businesses diversify their supply chains, they need payment solutions that support a wide range of emerging markets.

🌐 Advanced AI and digital currencies are the new frontiers. In the next three to five years, central bank digital currencies, stablecoins and cryptocurrencies will mature and scale and transform the cross-border payment landscape through programmability and higher transparency.

#LifeAtBVNK.

Thanks for the shout out William Lorenz. Blockchains have given us a new base layer for global payments, where funds can move as freely as data does on the internet. For the businesses we work with, this is about efficiency and setting free working capital. 

We’re just scratching the surface of what fintechs will do with stablecoins, but 2024 will be a year of experimentation, and new payments products that bring together banks and blockchains.

Just like other cryptocurrencies, stablecoins run on blockchains that operate 24/7, and so can be traded and exchanged around the clock with almost immediate settlement. 

Learn about the risks and benefits of using stablecoins for business below👇

Follow the link in the comments for a deeper dive into stablecoins, including different types, use cases and how to start using them in your business.

How are regulators thinking about stablecoin payments? Charles Kerrigan, Partner at CMS UK highlights 3 key themes, common across jurisdictions: 

Regulators aim to ensure there is:
1: no facilitation of financial crime
2: no risk to customer funds
3: no irresponsible product marketing

Thanks to KBW for featuring BVNK in its latest fintech monthly briefing, alongside Paxos, PayPal, Zepz and Wise. 

According to the report:
💰International money transfer service revenue was c. $37.8 billion last year.

🌐Top 3 transfer corridors are UAE > India, US > Mexico, US > China.

📱The new digital front-end enabled by the likes of ZepZ Pay, Wise and Remitly has altered the economics of the game, cutting fees to 1-3%.

🚧 The backend still needs work. Of the 44,000 banks in the world, only ¼ are interconnected via SWIFT and other networks – the remaining rely on correspondent banks, adding cost and time. Blockchain platforms can mitigate some of these issues.
