Despite a general economic downturn, the world of global payments has proved resilient in 2022. Cross-border payments began to rebound, with share prices rising in the second half of 2022.
The VC funding space also has seen strong activity, the number of payments startups attracting funding in 2022 was 32% higher than in 2021. The strength of the U.S. dollar has, meanwhile, provided new opportunities for some companies in the space, particularly those catering to business customers looking to best respond to the situation.
The recent collapse has dampened the payment industry’s enthusiasm for cryptocurrencies, however, there remains a significant core of potential for blockchain technology in global payments. Enthusiasm for crypto-related projects has faded, but there are still wins to be had for companies that can harness the technology to deliver trustworthy results for their customers, rather than purely rely on the lure of crypto itself.
The world’s economic challenges are not going to cease to exist in 2023. However, the global payments industry has considerable promise. Increased interest in global operations, from international employees to localized payment solutions, is creating new opportunities that the industry will rise to.
Effective global payments are increasingly vital to companies at a time when cost-consciousness is likely to be on the rise. As we look to 2023 there are a host of areas where the industry can innovate and grow.

Walmart is about to make another major splash into the financial-services world through its fintech venture, called ONE.
The retail giant last year entered into a strategic partnership with investment firm Ribbit Capital to acquire two different platforms and create the fintech startup, known as “ONE”.
ONE will offer its own Buy Now, Pay Later loans to Walmart customers as soon as next year. This follows an earlier move to offer banking accounts to Walmart employees.
The latest development comes roughly a year after Walmart customers revolted against the retail giant for abandoning its popular layaway program. Instead, Walmart said at the time, customers should use its buy-now-pay-later service, which it offers through a partnership with Affirm.
Buy Now Pay Later jumped 85% during the period between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday, compared with the prior week.
Walmart says over time, the ONE app will be integrated inside Walmart’s physical and digital channels offering solutions to its 1.6 million U.S. associates and 100 million-plus weekly shoppers.

            I wrote an article that highlights the opportunities and challenges of digital transformation in banking and covers points on having a well-thought-out plan, organizational culture, and how to get started with partners that have done it already.

            Another powerful report from FIS on global payments. This is a 156-report that gives you global payments trends, key insights, and other important ecosystem information.
The payments space continues to evolve with super apps, CBDCs, embedded finance, evolution of real-time payments, banking the unbanked, and more...
Check out the report and use it as a reference guide for what's happening and what's coming in payments.
I want to thank Ahmed Refaie Abdo from DSRPTD in the UAE for sharing it with me.
