Payments Research
This section collects research notes and analysis. Each piece states its method and data source, so you can judge how far its findings apply to your business.
How we approach research
We state the data source, time period and method for each analysis, and separate observations from conclusions.
Checkout and conversion
Studies of checkout flows look at where customers drop off and which payment methods they choose in each market.
Cross-border flows
Analysis of cross-border payments examines corridors, currencies and the share of payments that need manual review.
Publishing standards
Figures are published only with a documented source. Where we cannot verify a figure, we do not publish it.
