Paymentology Launches Report on the Future of Cross-Border Money Movement in Collaboration with Fincog
By Lauren Hinton · 17 October 2024

Paymentology, the leading global issuer processor, today announces the launch of its latest industry report, The Remittance Revolution: How to Win in Cross-Border Money Movement, developed in collaboration with renowned financial consultancy Fincog.
The remittance industry, which facilitates the transfer of funds between countries, is currently undergoing a transformation. Traditional banks and money transfer operators, once dominant players, are now losing market share to agile global fintechs, local remittance providers, superapps, and even non-financial firms such as retailers and telecommunications companies. Despite the downward pressure on fees, the overall global remittance industry continues to grow. Long-term growth projections vary, but estimates suggest the industry could be worth as much as $1.3 trillion by 2032.
The report provides a comprehensive analysis of the disruption facing the remittance industry and offers insights for firms on how to thrive in this rapidly changing environment.
Key findings of the report include:
- The evolution of the traditional remittance business model, with firms moving beyond simple money transfers to offer a broader suite of products and services.
- The intensifying competition, leading to a “race to the bottom” in cross-border transfer fees, driving remittance firms to enhance customer loyalty through more integrated and "sticky" services.
- A deep dive into the strategies remittance organisations are deploying to meet the changing needs of customers, including the introduction of shopping-related services, discounts on local events, and other non-financial products.
