Global, Regional, Local Payment Acceptance

Global•Simpler, less expensive

•Low market penetration and approval rates

Regional•Expensive but increases market reach

with lower risk

•Approach might not be available in every Region

Local •Most expensive, FX implications

•Highest penetration and approval rates

Strategic Trade Offs

Global Regional Local

Addressable Market

Penetration

Smallest penetration usually limited to

the A and B segments of the socio-

demographic scale

Larger population addressable based on

the acceptance of regional cards or other

similar payment instruments

Broadest reach of addressable population,

accessible to all socio-demographic

segments, including Cs, Ds, and Es

Payment

Instruments

Accepted

International general purposes payment

cards (GPPCs) such as Visa,

MasterCard, Amex, and China Union Pay

(CUP)

Extends beyond GPPCs to also include

global brands with Regional reach. May

also include some non-card Payment

Instruments such a Online Banking e-

Payment (OBeP) and internationally

branded e-wallets

All GPPC and other domestic cards, including

debit cards and domestic Private Label credit

cards (PLCC) if these are enabled for e-

commerce. Also include bank transfers

(both credits and debits) as well as any OBeP

and cash acceptance

Payment

Instruments not

Accepted

GPPC branded cards enabled for

regional and domestic use only, any

other domestic cards, including debit

cards if these are enabled for e-

commerce. Also include Private Label

credit cards (PLCC) and bank transfers

(both credits and debits) as well as any

OBeP and cash acceptance

GPPC branded cards enabled for

domestic use only, any other domestic

cards, including debit cards if these are

enabled for e-commerce. It may also

include domestic Private Label credit

cards (PLCC) and bank transfers (both

credits and debits) as well as any OBeP

and cash acceptance

None

Ease of

Implementation

Easiest. Must ensure that card

processor has proper acquiring license

to operate in target countries

Harder. Must ensure that regional

provider has the proper licenses to

process selected payment instruments in

the region

Hardest. Must develop relationship with local

acquirers and local banks (see next).

Global Regional Local

Local Legal Entity Not needed May or may not be required Required to establish legal entity in-

country. May be possible to get around

this by establishing a “collections”

relationship with a legal representative

Local Bank Account Normally not required May or may not be required Usually required to process any local

Payment Instrument such as bank

transfers, OBeP, or cash collections

Payment Instrument

Know-how

Little Must have some understanding of the

regulatory and customary aspects of

processing the specific local payment

instruments

Must have a good understanding of the

regulatory and customary aspects of

processing the specific local payment

instruments

Cost per Transaction

of Processing

Payment Instrument

Normally high. Usually restricted to

international interchange and also

subject to FX conversions. However, it is

possible to leverage high volumes to get

lower prices

Some cost of payments optimization is

possible but usually dependent on highly

specialized vendors that put a premium

on each payment

Best environment to optimize the cost of

payments. Dealing directly with local

providers but economies of scale usually

disappear

Taxes (to consumer

and to acceptor)

Transactions taxed in the Merchant’s

jurisdiction and rates. Consumers likely

are not taxed

Transactions may be taxed in the

Merchant’s jurisdiction or in another

favorable tax locations (e.g. Luxembourg

or Singapore) Consumers likely are not

taxed

Transactions are taxed at the local tax

rates and consumers may also be subject

to Value Added taxes

Cross Border Acquiring Regulations

Licenses– Acquirers can acquire transactions only in countries where Visa and Mastercard have granted them

licenses

– Acquirers can only enter into acquiring agreements with legal entities that reside in the same country as the acquirer is licensed

Physical Presence– Merchants must have a physical presence with “employees or agents conduct[ing] business activity

directly related to providing the cardholder with the goods or services purchased in the specific transaction”.* In other words, having an attorney’s office as the legal presence in a country is not sufficient

Settlement– Although many large trans-national acquirers can accept and process transactions in many

currencies, they are generally limited to the number of currencies in which they can settle

– Acquirers will only deposit funds from payment transactions into bank accounts that belong to the legal entity with whom they have an agreement

– Unless otherwise agreed with acquirer, acquirer will automatically convert from transaction currency (Ct) to settlement currency (Cs) at a FX rate and uplift only known to the acquire

Conclusions

Global Payments Integration can be challenging

– Regulations, customary practices, economics

– Transaction flows, technologies, multiple vendors

– Global Payments cannot be ignored

Take a long term view

– Develop road map (i.e. countries and methods of payment)

– Stay abreast of market developments (e.g. new methods of

payment, new vendors)

Real-Time cross border payments in APAC

SWIFT to pilot gpi-enabled real-time enabled cross border payment inflows

to Australia, plugging into the country’s domestic New Payments Platform (NPP)

• This will allow faster P2P remittances and trade

settlement

• Approach will build on SWIFT gpi and its connectivity

with domestic instant payment systems

• NPP API framework is aligned to ISO 20022

standards

• Users, both consumer and businesses, can create a

PayID with their participating FI. Thus allowing the

link of financial accounts to information such as

phone numbers and email addresses

ISO 20022 is an inflection point for Global

Integration and being adopted prodigiously

APIsOpen Banking APIs

Benefits of Open Banking• Consumers have more choices of service providers.

• More Customized and relevant product offerings.

• Banks can extend additional services to more

consumers.

• Introduction of new digital offerings

• Transfers data between two applications – in real time.

• Allows internal applications to communicate with each

other or to external/ 3rd party applications efficiently.

What is an API?

29

Page 30: Global Payment Integration: Best Practices in Deployment

Why are APIs Important?

• Standardized APIs can provide an efficient and effective

communication method

• Studies have found over 70% of all Americans say they would use

entirely computer-based support for their banking*

• Internet banking parity from a functionality perspective

• These will be the new normal

• ERP solutions, payroll vendors, and other service providers will use

these to interact with banks, replacing legacy file transfers / BAI files /

OFX / CSV downloads

• This allows the bank to be able to react and build to client needs

much more quickly

What is Blockchain?

f

◼ Cost reduction through disintermediation

◼ Innovation through competitive pressure

◼ Efficiency through streamlined, automated

processes

◼ End-users in control of their data

◼ Transparency and integrity of data

◼ System maturity:

◼ Stability

◼ Performance

◼ Resiliency

◼ Security

◼ Regulatory compliance

◼ Interoperability and standardization

1 A blockchain is a specific type of Distributed Ledger Tech (DLT) which offers additional security features over basic DLT, but the terms are often used interchangeably.

• Through smart contracts, foreign

exchange can be sourced from

participants willing to facilitate the

conversion of fiat currencies

• Enable international regulators to

monitor transactions in real-time and

enforce AML Policies.

• Allows transfer of funds with minimal

fees and guaranteed delivery without

need of correspondent banks
