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).

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)

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

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
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
