PayCash - CX
(Contextual Experience)

Industry Overview

In a scenario of rising interest rates and high cost of working capital corporates want their banks to provide holistic payments and cash management solutions to optimise liquidity and help them improve return on capital employed. Similarly banks themselves are under cost pressure which comes from both operational cost, technology cost and regulatory cost as a result of investment in multiple platforms for payments, collections, receivables and digital client experience. Hence banks are also looking for full-stack-solutions for payments and cash management to help them improve their Cost to Income ratio, win more client wallet share and become the principal banker to their corporates. Throw in the Gen X customer experience expectations where like hyper personalisation offered via generative AI/ ML algorithms to retail customers, commercialisation of corporate banking demands a rich, frictionless experience being offered to corporate users too.

Challenges and Opportunity

Digital Client Experience Layer

• Banks face the challenge of not being able to fully own, enhance, brand, and white label the client UI-UX
• The slow onboarding process for corporates and the absence of self-administration contribute to high costs for banks
• The absence of a horizontal framework hinders banks from providing an open embedded ecosystem experience to their clients
• Payment, Collections and Cash Management business products
• Banks face challenges in offering client segment and sector-specific payment products, such as Government Payments, Tax Payments, Insurance Payments, and more
• Corporates have a growing demand for unique embedded low-touch experiences, where payments can be initiated directly from their ERP or TMS systems
• Banks are dealing with legacy architectures that struggle to handle the high volumes of real-time payments. The Cap Gemini World Payments Report 2022 reveals that 27% of banks face challenges with monolithic payment hubs, while on the other hand, the B2B and SME sector experiences explosive growth with highly fragmented Accounts Payable (AP) and Accounts Receivable (AR) spaces

Payment Processing

• Banks have an opportunity to enhance their services by providing the Next Best Action, Next Best Offers, and optimal Methods of Payment recommendations to their clients
• Limited payments orchestration, repair, enrichment, and exception processing lead to high operational costs and low Straight-Through Processing (STP) rates for banks
• Opportunity for banks to mitigate credit risk exposure by offering real-time net position and gross position checks across multiple accounts for payment transaction limits management

Methods of Payment to their clients

• High operational cost and low STP rates for banks due to limited payments orchestration, repair, enrichment and exception processing
• High credit risk exposure to banks because of the inability to offer real-time net position and gross position checks across multiple accounts for payments transaction limits management
