Analyst report: Expectation versus reality for payments data monetisation
The concept of payments data monetisation – using payments data to improve either the efficiency of operations, to launch, or to enhance client-facing services – is not a new concept. However, there has been an explosion of interest in recent months as a combination of margin pressure and growing customer expectations, alongside ISO 20022 migration and the expansion of real-time payments infrastructure, creates new revenue opportunities.
With many already embarking on payments data monetization strategies, few can afford to be left behind.
To better understand the opportunities for launching new services that leverage payments data, Celent has conducted a survey and detailed analysis of today’s landscape in partnership with MongoDB and Icon Solutions. At the core of this are two global surveys of senior executives, which in combination provide an in-depth view over both the demand and supply ends of the value chain.
- Interviews with treasurers and CFOs at 217 corporates has identified common business challenges, demand for new services and – crucially – willingness to pay for service enhancements.
- In tandem, a survey of 168 senior bank executives has given us a unique understanding of how banks plan to address these growing customer needs.
