A key challenge with the #CrossBorderPayments experience is limited access to Canada’s payment systems. Payments Canada is advocating for amendments to the Canadian Payments Act to expand membership eligibility and direct access to Canada’s payment infrastructure to include payment service providers (PSPs) who meet the necessary requirements, alongside other financial entities. Broader access could provide more choices for Canadians and businesses who rely on cross-border payments.

Three days ago I relocated to Malta and am excited to learn more about the country and gain new experience. Let’s have a look at the future of banking in Malta. Malta’s banking sector is a key pillar for the economy with a significant contribution to Malta’s Gross Value Added (GVA) of 6.2% in 2022, compared to a Eurozone average of 2.8%. The sector operates more than 75 branches, employs over 5,400 persons and holds over €41bn in assets, equivalent to 249% of GDP. The banking sector came out of the Covid-19 pandemic relatively intact, supporting borrowers and the economy alongside targeted Government initiatives. The sector is now feeling the ripple effects of more recent exogenous shocks, such as the supply chain issues, high inflation rates, rising interest rates and geopolitical tensions as well as the regulatory changes. Faced with these realities, the local sector continues to weather these challenges from a position of strength as a result of the largely traditional operating models, strong capitalisation and well-balanced risk portfolios. The sector is now at a crossroads – the socioeconomic environment is transforming rapidly resulting in a growing diversity in the needs of stakeholders. Banks are hence faced with the challenge of aligning their strategic objectives with the increasingly dynamic needs of their stakeholders. To this end, Malta’s banking sector should continue to build around four core and mutually reinforcing pillars which tackle the needs of the banking sector’s ecosystem: 1) A purpose-led banking sector which places the customer at the centre of operations to create long lasting relationships, while also balancing the needs of other stakeholder groups and delivering longterm value to all. 2) A viable banking sector which ensures sustainable profitability through diversified revenue streams, inspires trust amongst customers, delivers value to shareholders and customers, and remains competitive by investing in technologies. 3) A safe and stable banking sector which is robust, secure and transparent from a capitalization perspective, acting in line with the expectations of regulators and in the best interest of customers and shareholders. 4) A progressive banking sector which embraces technology, increasing the value delivered to customers and shareholders through analytics, talent and other forms of innovation.

As reported by our partners and investor Inter-American Development Bank, 2023 was a record-setting year for remittances to Latam and the Carribean, with roughly USD $155 billion sent to the region. This cross-border money movement flow represents a pivotal source of income & economic development and is a relevant source of deposits for banks and fintechs, but its value chain and delivery method requires digitalization.
