The Changing Payout Orchestration Landscape

The payout orchestration landscape is changing. Quickly. Keeping up with the technologies and services available is challenging. Of these changes, there are four we are watching closely, including: 

• Continued rise of mobile payments
• Rapid adoption of alternative payment methods
• Growth of cross-border payouts
• The need for faster, more efficient global payouts

All of these trends, at their core, represent the incredibly increasing global demand for locally preferred payment and payout methods. In this piece, we explore each of them in detail.

4 Noteworthy changes to the Payout Orchestration Landscape

Let's examine each of the four notable trends affecting the payout orchestration landscape:

Rise of Mobile Payments

The majority of the global population has a smartphone (almost 87% by current estimates), and in most of the world, these devices are the preferred method to make and receive payments virtually anytime and anywhere. 

The rise of mobile payment platforms like GoCardless, Alipay, Worldpay, ApplePay, GPay, WeChat Pay, Pix, PayPal, Zelle, and Venmo isn't just about convenience – it's fundamentally transforming how we make and receive payments. These platforms offer a fast, flexible, and user-friendly experience for individuals and businesses alike, making it easier to get paid for the work they do. But the true impact extends far beyond replacing cash and cards.

For those who lack access to traditional banking services, mobile payments offer a critical pathway to financial inclusion. 

Imagine being able to receive payments seamlessly, regardless of your location or banking history when, before, you didn’t have access to any of these capabilities? 

Mobile payments empower billions of individuals to participate in the digital economy, unlocking a world of financial opportunities and allowing them to manage finances directly from their phones. This ability to receive money fosters a more inclusive financial landscape, where everyone can benefit from the convenience and efficiency of mobile payments.

The Rapid Adoption of APMs

The way we receive payments is undergoing a digital revolution. Online payout methods like PayPal, Stripe, Venmo, and Square are rapidly replacing traditional cash and credit card transactions.

This shift is driven by many factors, including unparalleled convenience. Online payouts offer a faster and more user-friendly experience for both businesses and individuals.

This is because payments can be sent and received seamlessly through online platforms or mobile apps, eliminating the need for physical cash or lengthy card processing times.

Accessibility is another key driver for online payouts. This is because they help businesses make payments to anyone with an internet connection, regardless of location. This opens doors to global expansion and access to entirely new consumer markets. 

Consider these predictions for the digital payment market from The Digital Journal:

"The market is expected to be worth US$19.89 trillion by 2026, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.4%”

By adapting to the evolving landscape of online payouts, businesses can position themselves for success in the digital age. This involves offering a diverse range of payout options and partnering with reliable providers who prioritize security and efficiency.

Growth of Cross-Border Payouts

Sending money from one country to another is expensive and slow. Fortunately, this is changing with the increased adoption of mobile devices and new continental (and global) standards.

It's not only faster and safer to send cross-border payouts, but it can be much less expensive too. Faster transfer speeds make it easier for businesses to operate on a global scale and effectively pay vendors in different countries, especially where immediacy to payments is a critical requirement.

Our centralized payment processing is vital for global transactions and transfers. Our system enables real-time monitoring and reporting, providing businesses with valuable insights into their global payment activities. 

This leads to faster transaction times, reduced costs, and increased reliability, ultimately supporting smoother international operations and facilitating global growth.

The benefits of offering cross-border payments are game-changing for individuals and small businesses that don't have the resources to expand physically.

Increased Need for Fast (or Instant) and Varied Global Payout Methods

Last but not least, a growing need for various payout methods demands a more streamlined solution. Previously, businesses used only a few payout methods—such as credit cards, bank transfers, and cash.

However, with the frequency of online payments and mobile payments, businesses must now be able to offer customers different options for sending money. 

This includes:

• Digital wallets
• Alternative payment methods
• Prepaid cards
• Real-time payments
• Cash pickup and delivery

At the same time, businesses must be confident that these payment and payout methods are secure and compliant with relevant regulations. For example, in many countries, companies must verify their customers' identities and identity documents before allowing them to send or receive payments.
