Cross-border Payments Market: 2026-2030

The strongest growth in outward cross-border payments will be observed in emerging economies that have already built efficient domestic digital or mobile payment rails, creating a foundation for cross-border expansion. Over the next five years, Brazil (PIX), Kenya (M-PESA), and India (UPI) are each expected to grow their cross-border transaction values by XX.X%, X%, and X%, respectively, per year, compared to an average of X.X% globally. Once consumers and businesses are accustomed to real-time, digital payments domestically, demand will shift towards achieving faster and cheaper transfers internationally. This positions these markets to leapfrog legacy banking infrastructure and adopt new, cross-border solutions more rapidly than developed economies; driving growth in payments flows.
