Service Description
The complexity of payment acceptance for merchants continues to grow as fintech companies arm consumers with new ways to pay for goods and services. Navigating these options becomes even more complex within a framework of fraud and loss prevention tools, fees, and regulatory requirements, all overlaid across diverse geographic regions and currencies.
Mercator thought leadership on these topics provides clarity and insight that helps merchants get beyond the marketing buzz to understand what’s best for their specific business environment.
Conversely, payment service providers of all types, both legacy processors and fintech disruptors, leverage Mercator research for clarity on the products and services that merchants want the most.
