Are you ready for payments transformation?

What U.S. organizations are doing to prepare

How do U.S. organizations see the payments landscape in their sectors evolving in the next two years and beyond? What strategies are they exploring to expand the range of payment options for their customers? Which technologies are they investing in to bring about their own payments transformations?

One thing is clear: U.S. consumers are moving decisively towards digital as their favored mode of payment. We asked 300 senior finance, treasury and revenue-management executives across five sectors how they are adapting their payment systems to operate in a digital-first environment.

The finance executives we spoke with clearly see payments transformation as a strategic imperative for their entire organizations, not just Finance and Treasury. Payment is an integral component of the customer experience, the improvement of which keeps customers coming back, delivering top-line benefits to the whole business. The highest levels of management see this connection less clearly, and finance leaders have some work to do to ensure that payments transformation has full support from the top down.
