Read MoreHide Full Article
Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (FIS - Free Report) recently announced its collaboration with Volt to make open banking more accessible to merchants. With this deal, FIS merchants will be able to receive payments via open banking from their customers.
This move will aid Fidelity National in boosting its top line in the future. The company derives part of its revenues from transaction processing fees paid by merchants. This revenue stream is recurring and will rise further as the number and value of transactions increase after the abovementioned integration. Merchants will benefit from pay-by-bank opportunities and be able to tap the growing market of account-to-account (A2A) payments.
Open banking technology is growing worldwide, owing to its seamless use in payments. The value of payments using A2A technology has increased 13% on a worldwide basis from $463 billion in 2021 to $525 billion in 2022. A2A payments are expected to contribute 10% to the total e-commerce payments market by 2026.
This collaboration will not only provide more choices for payments to customers but also reduce the cost of accepting payments for merchants. Moreover, the instant settlement will boost merchants cash flow. Merchants with global ambitions can also take advantage of A2A payments for cross-border commerce.
This partnership highlights Fidelity’s unwavering focus on integrating innovative solutions and thus growing its business. Fidelity will continue to invest significantly in strategic growth endeavors to boost revenues and amplify its market. This partnership is a relief for customers who demand flexible options. Customers can benefit from more choices for seamless payments. Worldpay’s expertise as the top merchant acquirer, combined with Volt’s technical and industry superiority, should open doors for innovation and revenue growth in the future.
