A New Era
Banks and other financial institutions have traditionally dominated the payments market but they fear being disintermediated or marginalised by a new breed of payments company. Payments itself has become a profit business and everyone wants a piece of the action.
The Internet is driving costs lower, margins are falling and there is a rising demand for deregulation and open's standards. Increasingly, the global electronic payments business is finding itself at the mercy of customers and intermediaries. The situation appears alarming. However, for clued-in institutions there is enormous opportunity and profit potential. EPI delivers benchmark intelligence that you require to navigate safely around this minefield, making you among the first to exploit the new opportunities.
