Basic Payment Processes and Networks: Case Studies

Payment

The payment processing solutions market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.2% from 2021-2028. Payment services hold the largest market share of 41.51% in 2020 in the payment processing solutions market. The total global non-cash transaction volume was 539.6 billion in 2019, up from 471.2 billion in 2018.

Payment networks are groups that make it possible for people, companies, or financial institutions to transmit money electronically.

To process cashless transactions—moving money from one party to another as quickly, cheaply, and securely as possible—an interconnected ecosystem of financial entities, including banks, credit card companies, and credit unions, is involved in these networks, which are home to well-known brands like Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express.

Payment networks function under the supervision of a particular set of rules and regulations and are typically self-managed and maintained by a group of their members.
