INDUSTRY CHALLENGES
With a number of players strongly positioned in the market, and having consolidated relationships with big merchants, new players in the payments services industry have to find innovative and disruptive ways to attract their targets, dividing the merchant market into three main categories.
↳ Low Risk Merchants
↳ High Risk Merchants
↳ "Hybrid" Classified Merchants
COVID-19 IMPACT 🦠
Last but unfortunately not least, the COVID-19 outbreak has had a major impact on PSPs’ revenues. Vendors strongly focussed on verticals like Travel, Hospitality and Transportation suffered major losses, and have been struggling to see a silver lining. The virtual shutdown of major global industries, the postponement or cancellation of major events, and localized “shelter-in-place policies” will adversely affect transaction activity and volume in the near term. Payments companies with diverse industries and geographic exposure will be best positioned. Again, diversification, flexibility, and a nimble approach is what C-level payments executives need in order to rock the boat in these choppy waters.
