White Paper
Designing the next generation of money transfer solutions
The Mastercard white paper explores the future of money transfer solutions, shaped by rising demand for digital cross-border payments post-pandemic. Consumers and SMEs prioritize global reach, seamless user experiences, and flexible options like wallets, accounts, and cards. Yet challenges remain: 80% of consumers face restrictions from destination country systems, while SMEs juggle multiple providers, raising costs and complexity. Transparency is critical, with many citing poor FX rates, hidden fees, and limited tracking. Trust and security also dominate, as 45% of SMEs and 42% of consumers fear fraud. Future solutions must deliver choice, real-time payments, clear pricing, and strong compliance.
