We caught up with Max Fuchs, a Strategic Payments Consultant at CMSPI, during MPE Berlin. CMSPI is an independent payments advisory firm that provides services to global merchants who are seeking to optimize their payments strategy. Max discusses the challenges that merchants are facing due to inflationary pressures and the impact on consumer spend, which has made customer experience the number one concern for merchants. He also addresses the need to adapt to international consumers who are shopping cross-border. In order to strike a balance between global payments acceptance and local relevance, Max emphasizes the importance of optimizing card acceptance and alternative payments strategy. He also shares his thoughts on current and emerging trends in the global payments industry, as well as insights into the future of CMSPI.
