HIGH NOON FOR THE EUROPEAN PAYMENTS INDUSTRY
After years of improving the payments infrastructure—transactions made by credit transfers, direct debits, and credit and debit cards—the industry is restructuring. In domestic and cross-border transactions, traditional wire transfers and newer card payments, it is at a critical junction between low-margin electronic payments and the high-margin growth areas that go beyond traditional banking. Analysis by AT Kearney.
