Payments remains one of the brightest spots in the financial services universe. Propelled by positive macroeconomic tailwinds, continuing technological advances, and expanding digital and noncash mechanisms, payments businesses globally are on track to add $1 trillion in new revenue through 2027. That outlook presents enormous opportunities for retail and wholesale payments institutions. Capitalizing on those opportunities, however, requires that banks and payments providers address lingering customer pain points.

New Accenture research attempts to quantify the level of change in the global banking industry structure. We found, for example, that 17 percent of industry players in 2017 entered the industry over the last 13 years. These newcomers have grabbed one-third of revenue growth in Europe, and in markets like the U.K., the combination of high numbers of new entrants and material revenue migration indicates a strong level of disruption already taking place. Incumbent retail and commercial banks must rethink their “North Star” business models and be bold in reorienting their business to be future-ready or run the risk of being left behind as the industry changes around them.
