With a digital world at the fingertips of today’s consumers, the financial services industry is coming face to face with the necessity of digital adaptation. Customers now expect the ease and immediacy of digital services wherever they are, whenever they choose. Why should they feel any different about payment disbursement?

As it turns out, they don’t. And global corporate customers aren’t any different. In partnership with PYMNTS.com, our recent Consumerization of B2B Payments Report revealed several key insights into what financial institutions are doing – or struggling to do – to engage client expectations.

Three-quarters of FIs say their corporate customers find money management challenging, especially when it comes to B2B payments. But despite a universal willingness to simplify the process, we found that few report being highly successful in removing payments friction. Furthermore, less than one-third of FIs see the solutions they offer as “very” or “extremely” effective in meeting their B2B clients’ payments needs.

One of these needs is the expectation for digital technologies; 64 percent recognize it as part of the solution for improving their client experience, and two-thirds of them are currently working or planning to work to provide client portals. However, our report also noted that 45 percent of regional banks, credit unions and community banks are experiencing issues enabling these portals.
