Paying Here & Abroad

Globalisation creates opportunities but it also comes with new challenges. To succeed, corporates must be on board.

To make payments and to be paid

SEPA put the European market on the right track for harmonisation and standardisation, but outside the continent, there is a world of challenges waiting to be met. Today, making payments and being paid at the right time, even in the remotest corner of the globe, requires a thorough knowledge of local regulatory rules and practices. In addition, technology creates a strong momentum, with electronic and mobile payments opening new doors to match corporate users' expectations. The world of payments is changing as fast as our lifestyles, and corporates must ensure that they don't miss the boat.
