Payment services
In Banking and capital markets
The EY Payments team serves payments suppliers (e.g., banks, credit unions, networks and PayTechs) and consumers of payments services (e.g., retailers, health care companies and other enterprises). Bringing insights from both sides of the payments ecosystem, our solutions are designed to deliver innovation, growth and higher performance, ultimately driving better outcomes.
Your business challenges
Companies across the payments industry face a range of urgent and complex challenges. There is pressure to innovate and enhance products through the harnessing of data, thanks to intensifying competition and disruption caused by the rise of open banking and embedded finance.
Regulatory scrutiny is increasing. Outdated technology platforms cannot meet today’s requirements for highly resilient, digitally responsive and immediate payments services, and regulations are playing catch-up with innovation.
For any firm seeking to drive growth and innovation through payments, these challenges represent significant barriers to success. For payments suppliers, who face the most significant threats to their customer relationships and existing revenue streams, solving these challenges is imperative. Defending their market position by delivering effective payments services requires explicit strategies, fully modern technology platforms, and the right people and teams – all of them aligned and energized by a unified go-to-market approach.
For the consumers of payments services, continual innovation is necessary to ensure that payments fit seamlessly within intuitive and personalized customer experiences. That requires a clear understanding of existing payments capabilities and a careful evaluation of vendors. Most importantly, a robust data strategy is necessary to manage and optimize their payments acceptance and to further monetize the data they generate.
