Several drivers leading to retailers moving further into consumer finance

The state of the card market and the ever-changing payment landscape, as well as outside factors like the advancement of technology, are providing opportunities for retailers to move beyond their core product offerings.

Retailers taking advantage of technology advances to conduct payments

Retailers are taking advantage of the enormous ability of new technology like smartphones and tablets to connect to the consumer both before, during and after the sale.

Changing role of the retailer in a mobile-dominated world

While the in-store retail process has remained largely unchanged for years, retailers, consumers and payment executives now find themselves in a brand new world thanks to the rapid proliferation of new technologies, such as the smartphone, tablet, NFC chips, QR codes and cloud computing.

Consumer payment experience has evolved

Besides the impact on the consumer-merchant relationship, mobile devices – and technology, in general – have been the catalyst for an entire revolution in the consumer payment experience. Consumers can now use these devices to initiate payment at the POS terminal, in the aisle or while on the go.

Strategies of retailers operating in consumer finance differ

Besides selling core products, retailers may also offer financial service products of their own, or by partnering with financial services providers to do so. In addition, retailers have developed their own propriety mobile payment systems and card products that circumvent the traditional card infrastructure.
