Global Cards and Payments Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025
Description
Research Summary
Cards and payments refer to the systems, processes, and instruments involved in facilitating financial transactions using payment cards. Payment cards, such as credit cards, debit cards, and prepaid cards, are widely used by consumers and businesses to make purchases, transfer funds, and access financial services. The cards and payments ecosystem encompasses various stakeholders, including card issuers, acquirers, payment processors, payment networks, merchants, and cardholders. The system operates through a series of interactions, starting with a cardholder presenting a payment card to a merchant at the point of sale. The merchant＇s payment terminal or online payment gateway securely processes the transaction, verifying the cardholder＇s information and transmitting the payment request to the card issuer through the payment network. The card issuer approves or declines the transaction based on the cardholder＇s available funds or credit limit. Once approved, the funds are transferred from the cardholder＇s account to the merchant＇s account. Cards and payments also include additional features such as contactless payments, mobile wallets, and emerging technologies like cryptocurrencies and blockchain-based payments. The continuous advancement in cards and payments technology aims to improve convenience, security, and efficiency in financial transactions, providing individuals and businesses with a reliable and accessible means of conducting financial transactions.
