That is to say, mass adoption will take time, and the factors driving that adoption will almost certainly continue to change and shift as end users’ needs do the same. Among corporates, there is an increasing demand that their global payment activity is able to keep up with the pace of doing business.

But as a recent Google announcement demonstrated, FIs are engaging with technology players in new ways as together, they seek to create ecosystems tha
