Banks hold their own as non-bank payment volumes surge

The volume of payments processed outside the traditional banking sector is growing rapidly. But banks remain confident that they can remain competitive against non-bank or fintech alternative platforms.

More than a quarter of the world’s commercial payments and almost 30% of receivables are now processed by alternative payment rails such as Venmo, Zelle and Paypal.

That is according to a recent Coalition Greenwich report, which concluded that corporate respondents expect to be using alternative platforms for 36% of commercial payments within the next two years – rising to 42% by 2028. Receivables volumes are predicted to exceed one third by 2025 and reach almost 40% within five years.
