msg for banking publishes study on cross-border payments

Oct 1, 2025

International payments are currently undergoing change. Local regulations, global initiatives such as the G20 goals and rising customer expectations are challenging banks and providers to position themselves for the future. Instant payments are setting new standards for speed and transparency and are also increasingly influencing international payments.

At the same time, new market participants are entering the market with alternative payment methods and real-time and near-real-time solutions, thereby challenging the traditional correspondent banking business. The increasing need for interoperability between national payment systems undehttps://banking.vision/cross-border-payments-studie-2025/rscores the urgency to act.

The Cross-Border Payments study offers banks, PSPs and market participants a structured, multidimensional view of cross-border payments and identifies specific areas for action. It also includes a case study from practice and expert interviews with industry leaders who provide strategic insights into market trends and initiatives.

For our current study, we have chosen a multi-stage approach that combines quantitative results with in-depth qualitative analyses. At its core is a comprehensive company survey in which international corporate customers assessed the status quo, the quality of existing services and their expectations of cross-border payments. To supplement this, we conducted qualitative interviews with banks, payment service providers and industry experts to gain additional market insights and strategic perspectives. The study is rounded off by specialist articles, a practical case study and an expert interview, which deepen the findings and highlight specific best practices.
