Payments Firms Can't Keep Clients on Remittances Alone
Summary
Payments companies often start by helping customers send money across borders quickly and cheaply. However, this service, called remittance, is a basic offering where customers mainly choose by price, making it hard to keep them loyal. Successful companies expand their services to include managing and holding money, which builds longer-term customer relationships.Key Facts
