Immigrant workers who regularly send home money would agree, that remittances using conventional methods are a pain. Not only does it require 4-5 business days, but also incurs a high fee.
If we try to imagine a task that we may accomplish on the go, something as simple as sending an email it is because of the standardized norms involved in the process. For example, an email address is of the structure username@domain. This is a constant irrespective of the service provider.
The same cannot be said about traditional cross-border payment services. If we want the process to be efficient, fast, defined, and scalable, there has to be a base-level data requirement.
A Sector With No Standards
When it comes to cross-border payment solutions, a network without standardization is one ridden with inefficiency and redundancy. Everything in this space is negotiated on a bilateral basis or mandated by a central operator. This might sound dramatic but a revisit to the email analogy will verify, the constant sense of palpable discord.
Looking at it historically, there have been a number of different standards followed with various levels of consistency for cross-border payments. Resultant, transactions that are supposed to be seamless and routine create friction and confusion owing to incompatible or insufficient data formats. In a speech by an official of the Bank of England on the CPMI Building Blocks and Focus Areas for Enhancing Cross-border Payments, 60% of payments demand some sort of human intervention. This intervention raises the cost by 25 to 30% of the actual cost of processing the payments. What is even more fundamental is the real definition of the settlement finality. In the absence of consistent standards, each institution on a network will put up varying expectations. This gives rise to contractual complexities and differing experiences across multiple partners.
