Global Payments Quotes

“In many countries, customers are charged no explicit transaction fees, as payers or payees. The FSP in these cases is recouping costs, and possibly making a profit, from related service fees or revenue sources such as account balances. The most typical, and most lucrative, of these “adjacencies” is lending: account balances (arguably there because of incoming and outgoing payments) are used by the bank to lend money, profitably, to other customers.”
