20、POOL AMOUNTS TO AROUND$193 BILLIONCross-border payment revenues refer to the fees associated with the underlying payment flow.Total international payments revenues of$193 billion are split between transaction fees and FX revenues.McKinsey estimates the average revenue per transaction(across all segm
21、ents)to be over$20.However,margins vary significantly across segments,impacting total revenue shares:B2B transactions often involve direct bank transfers or in-house processing,resulting in lower revenue compared to consumer transactions,which frequently involve intermediaries and value-added servic
22、es.The B2B segment represents around 80%of global revenues and includes both wholesale and retail market payments.Banks handle most high-value payments with comparatively low margins while low-value B2B transactions are often underserved by banks.Significant growth potential remains in this segment,
23、which has been comparatively slow to digitize.It is estimated that the pandemic accelerated the shift to online shopping by as much as five years.This has boosted C2B payments,which account for 10%of cross-border payment revenues.Avalon1.5%0.1%CONSUMERBUSINESS6.0%CONSUMER3.5%BUSINESSREVENUE MARGIN(R

27、Asia-Pacific(26%of global revenues)is closing the gap,with rapid developments in infrastructure and increased digital adoption.In Europe(20%of global revenues),implementation of the Single Euro Payments Area(SEPA)across the EU in 2016 has been instrumental in supporting cross-border payments growth
28、through lower fees and shorter clearing times.Cross-border payments have also gained momentum in Latin America(16%of global revenues),as the pandemic forced cash-dependent economies in the region to go digital.The Middle East and Africa account for 10%of the market.Remittances are particularly impor

152、d expedient cross-border payments and broadens the scope of financial services,extending into investments and insurance.As we progress from open banking to open data,this shift not only redefines the accessibility of financial data but also sets the stage for expansive data sharing across diverse se

154、ta marks a significant shift.While open banking has sparked global interest,various nations are now finding their unique paths to unlock financial data.This expansion highlights the transformative potential of open data sharing,encouraging global attention.While open banking and open finance focus o
155、n financial data,their core principles of transparency and openness align with open data,which extends these principles beyond finance to include a wide range of information,from government data to scientific research.Open data aims to promote transparency,collaboration and innovation by making dive
156、rse datasets accessible to the public.This initiative encourages the development of innovative applications and research in various fields.The evolution of these concepts suggests that open data will continue influencing data sharing and utilization across sectors,including finance.Trends toward ope
157、nness and collaboration are expected to endure,shaping a more interconnected and innovative environment.However,the trajectory of open data will depend on regulatory frameworks,technology and societal attitudes toward data sharing.US IS CATCHING UP TO EUROPEAN OPEN BANKINGThe US is making strides in

163、HER SHIFT IN THE LANDSCAPEEmbedded finance represents a significant evolution in the financial services landscape,building upon concepts like open banking,open finance,modular banking and banking-as-a-platform.This new approach is reshaping how customers interact with financial institutions,offering
164、 them integrated financial services within their daily activities.Embedded finance is the integration of financial services into non-financial offerings,driven by digital advancements and customer preferences for seamless experiences.Jeff Tijssen,from Bain&Company,describes it as a non-financial pla
165、tform offering adjacent financial services while taking on some economic ownership.Banking as a Service(BaaS)forms the sturdy foundation for embedded finance,enabling its dynamic growth.Embedded finance focuses on user-facing financial services,while BaaS provides the backend banking functions that
166、enable digital banks and non-banks to offer financial services.This combination of BaaS and embedded finance revolutionizes the industry,offering unparalleled convenience and accessibility that frees users from traditional banking limitations.THE IMMEASURABLE POTENTIAL FOR EMBEDDED FINANCEThe potent
167、ial for embedded finance is vast.Estimates suggest that the global opportunity for embedded finance will reach$7.2 trillion in the next decade,which is twice the combined value of the worlds top 30 banks today.Regarding BaaS,Juniper Research predicts that BaaS platform revenue worldwide will surpass
168、$38 billion by 2027,up from$11 billion in 2022.This substantial 240%growth is attributed to BaaSs ability to enhance connections between brands and customers through seamless banking and payment experiences.Initially,BaaS partnerships involved banks and API-first fintech companies,which offered enha
169、nced financial services when embedded.Recently,API-first tech companies outside the financial sector,like e-commerce platforms or rideshare apps,have also started benefiting from embedded finance.A report from Mastercard suggests that these partnerships could eventually extend to all companies adopt
170、ing API-based business models in the future.BaaS,part of the“as a service”trend,is gaining attention.It builds on the older concept of white-label partnerships between banks and retailers,dealerships or airlines,which were costly and rare.APIs changed this by enabling embedded finance,integrating fi
171、nancial services into customer experiences.Embedded finance will reach$7.2T in the next decade.BlockchainOpen dataReal-time paymentsFraud preventionRegulationsFintech 2025+Market outlookMarket REAL-WORLD USE CASES FOR EMBEDDED FINANCE AND BAASRetailers have long seen the value of financial services,
172、with early examples like branded credit cards;however,embedded finance has begun to be widely used in various contexts,such as enabling seamless shopping experiences(e.g.,Amazon)and mobility services(e.g.,Uber).McKinsey also reveals that demand is maturing among embedded finance distributors and the
173、ir customers for traditional financial products like deposits,payments,issuing and lending.In supply chain operations,embedded finance optimizes processes and facilitates trade finance.Platforms such as Tradeshift and Taulia integrate financing into procurement,allowing suppliers to access early pay
174、ments or financing based on invoices.This integration improves cash flow management and strengthens supply chain relationships.For businesses with international operations,embedded finance simplifies currency exchange in cross-border transactions.Traditional currency exchange services can be costly
175、and time-consuming,but embedded finance solutions offer convenient and cost-effective options with competitive rates and minimal fees.PAYMENT PROCESSING AND INFRASTRUCTUREPayment processing methods differ significantly between embedded finance and BaaS.In embedded finance,payments are dynamic and oc
176、cur during online purchases or service use.In contrast,BaaS transactions are prearranged and occur in the background,unbeknownst to the customer.Here,the fintech company and the bank have already established an agreement.When a payment is made,the bank processes it through their APIs,with the front-

178、Fraud preventionRegulationsFintech 2025+Market outlookMarket In the realm of financial infrastructure and regulation,Nirav Patel,CEO of Andaria,highlights the advantages for businesses utilizing embedded finance.Unlike traditional banking services,where setting up financial infrastructure and naviga
179、ting regulatory requirements can be complex and time-consuming,embedded finance offers a more streamlined approach.With BaaS,licensed financial institutions share their infrastructure with other businesses,allowing them to offer banking services like checking accounts and loans.However,businesses ar
180、e still responsible for managing finances and complying with regulations.On the other hand,embedded finance involves non-financial businesses seamlessly integrating financial services into their products,without the need for a banking license.Providers of embedded finance handle the financial aspect
181、s,allowing businesses to focus on their core activities.COMPLIANCE PRESENTS CHALLENGES FOR FUTURE GROWTHCompliance is a key factor in the growth of embedded finance and BaaS,and regulators and policymakers must update frameworks to address these challenges,including liability allocation and third-pa
182、rty risk control.Ensuring consumer privacy and data protection are also crucial.BaaS providers and fintech firms must also comply with regulatory sanctions,such as those from the US or EU,to prevent illicit activities.This requires rigorous transaction screening to avoid engaging with sanctioned ind
183、ividuals or entities.Firms that fail to conduct sufficient KYC checks and meet AML regulations are at risk of financial crime,including fraud and money laundering.Banks must build BaaS partnerships with risk and compliance in mind,establishing responsibilities,reviewing product roadmaps,engaging wit

230、ting October 2024.An amendment to delay payment processing in fraud cases is also proposed.The Digital Operational Resilience Act(DORA)in the EU requires financial entities and third-party providers to implement ICT system standards by January 2025.DORA applies to traditional financial entities,cryp
231、to-asset service providers and third-party service providers,aiming to harmonize ICT risk management regulations across the EU.KEY PROPOSALS OF PSD3PSD3,the proposed successor to PSD2,aims to fortify the EUs payment services market by addressing key fraud trends and promoting fair competition among
232、providers.PSD3s main thrust is to enhance security and innovation in financial transactions,with a focus on combatting fraud and enhancing consumer trust.One of the main innovations in PSD3 is the reinforcement of SCA requirements,which aim to protect consumers by verifying their identity during ele
233、ctronic transactions.Additionally,PSD3 introduces stricter guidelines for accessing payment systems and account information,aimed at closing loopholes that have led to uneven regulatory interpretations across different EU countries.Another key aspect of PSD3 is the introduction of the Payment Servic
234、es Regulation(PSR),which sets out clear definitions for terms like payment account and establishes conduct rules for all payment service providers,including traditional and e-money providers.This regulation is designed to enhance consumer protection and ensure uniform standards across all EU member
235、states.THE BUSINESS IMPACT OF PSD3The new directive emphasizes SCA,and businesses must adapt to new rules regarding data sharing,authentication methods and fraud prevention techniques.For instance,under PSD3,users can authenticate transactions using two identical categories,like token and SMS OTP,en
236、hancing security without compromising convenience.Issuers can now delegate SCA to third parties,but this is considered outsourcing and must comply with stringent rules.Importantly,SCA must be accessible to vulnerable customers,ensuring inclusivity in digital transactions.Furthermore,businesses are r
237、equired to share more data with issuers,enabling them to monitor transactional patterns and behaviors for fraud detection,a move that could enhance security measures across the industry.PSD3 also introduces stricter licensing requirements for PSPs and third-party providers(TPPs),placing a greater em
238、phasis on security standards and regulatory compliance.This shift requires PSPs and TPPs to invest in robust fraud prevention systems and secure infrastructure to combat various types of fraud,including social engineering and scams.Fraud preventionRegulationsOpen dataBlockchainReal-time paymentsFint
