Increased competition, fragmentation of services and products, ever-more stringent regulations, new technology and geopolitical pressures have made the payments ecosystem complex, costly and difficult to navigate for all players involved.
At the same time, research indicates that banks are more willing than ever to find partners to offer non-differentiating services, like payment processing.
The growing imperative for financial institutions to find better ways to manage their payment processing needs and the willingness of banks to enter into partnerships means that there’s never been a better time to shift payments processing from a commodity to a business.
Banks have the strategic option of moving cost into revenue by adopting Payments Processing as a Business (PPaaB). Icon has the tools and the pedigree to define and execute a PPaaB strategy and support a successful transition.
At Icon, we have the expertise, solutions and unique ability to support your bank throughout the end-to-end process of defining and executing a PPaaB strategy.
Our specialist consultancy tailor-made to your requirements helps address the core building blocks needed for a successful transition, while our ground-breaking IPF solution leverages cutting-edge technology to accelerate payments transformation by enabling you to build your own payments solutions.
PPaaB providers need a transformation strategy built on where they want to be of value for banks in the payments processing value chain. Key strategic consequences like volume, speed, resilience and independence with a seamless and scalable user experience will need to be incorporated and addressed. Our approach is fundamentally different to traditional vendors and our solutions and expertise can help you create a strategy for success.
