Highlights
Vertical BPO in FS includes transaction processing and product administration activities only. This includes accounts processing, asset management operations, claims processing, card processing, hedge fund administration, mortgage processing, payments processing, policy administration, securities processing and trade finance processing.
Much in contrast to the broad idea of BPO becoming a generic and adaptable service dominated by large generic vendors, the space is still showing great variety in terms of maturity of vertical offerings, acceptance of BPO across the financial services sector, and fragmentation of the vendor landscape.
Transaction processing BPO represents the lion share of the market in terms of expenditure, with product administration BPO being comparatively immature and in its earlier stages of development.
