Worldwide, almost one half of a trillion dollars has already been loaded on various forms of stored value, with an estimated potential that is several orders of magnitude higher. Although the particular dimensions of stored values opportunity vary by world region, one indisputable commonality emerges regardless of nation or region - stored value is reshaping the payment process.
Still, not all the applications grabbing headlines in the U.S. are generating the same level of traction in other parts of the world. How do payments infrastructures and payments preferences vary from country to country, and what impact do these have on the programs you design for specific markets? What are the specific programs succeeding around the world, and what makes one a winner and another a failure? Moreover, the manner in which electronic payments are introduced or expanded within developing economies will levy a significant impact on how rapidly a given economy grows, and on its prospects for international trade and tourism as well. In developed economies, 60 to 85 percent of the population have bank accounts, and they are essential to daily life. Various applications of stored value will provide the same essential services enjoyed by people in developed economies to people in developing economies. Stored value has the potential to enable developing economies to leapfrog
into the 21st century, and this report will explore how - and how far.
As large as the potential for stored value is in the U.S., the international opportunity will be several orders of magnitude higher. However, the market will most likely develop differently from the way it has evolved in the U.S. "Stored Value: A Global Perspective" explores in granular detail differences in banking infrastructure and consumer behaviors that must be considered before stored value programs are developed. The opportunity is ripe for the picking in many markets where a major player is yet to emerge. This exclusive report will explore different global growth scenarios by region, highlighting the cultural as well as business dynamics which will ultimately contribute to the opportunity model.
