Description

This TowerGroup Research Note looks at the market for payment processing in the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) and the fundamental shifts that it faces. Rather than focusing on the many unknowns of such a transformation, the Note examines in detail two comparable market events from the United States that TowerGroup believes provide indicators for the SEPA market. Furthermore, it draws out several observations and predicts the impact of the events on the SEPA market. These include the transformation of the ACH marketplace and a fundamental shift to outsourcing in payments processing.
