The next topic in the series will be about Payment as a Service platform
Imagine you make a payment for an online purchase. Have you ever noticed and wondered how payments are processed in the back-end and how seamless the online customer experiences are? You got it right, there is a medium by which each online transactions take place to ensure a smooth payment experience for the customers.
We are going to discuss one such medium. It is called Payment as a Service. Many financial enterprises do not depend much on their internal platform for the exchange of payments since it involves a high amount of investment and it’s time-consuming. Similarly, small financial entities whose budget is on a shoestring depend on external platforms for digital payment processes.

To maintain a competitive edge, companies focus on reducing costs to stay well ahead while looking on their margins. Increased security has been put up as a major objective for companies to reduce threats and frauds. The following are the challenges companies face in the current world:
Maintaining low cost of ownership:
As discussed above, companies try to maintain their cost to offer better services to their customers. By incorporating the payment model, players have to undergo costs for building full-stack payment, which include licensing costs, compliance, technology costs, updating, and program management costs.
Meeting industry demands: The advent of innovations and developments have kept the expectation of the consumers above the bar. Increased security, value-added services such as fraud prevention, account reconciliation, and multi-currency payment services have made companies constantly improve. Many financial institutions find it challenging to stay at the same pace. Hence, outsourcing payment functions can be a great option for financial institutions.
