        Merchant Insights - Every Basis Point Matters: Finding the Hidden Margin in Global Payments

        Merchant AgendaMerchant Experience Zone (Hall 6)Open

        About this session

        Merchants spend months negotiating fractions of a cent with payment providers, yet far greater costs can remain hidden across routing, acceptance rates, cross-border fees, foreign exchange and failed transactions.

        In this 30-minute fireside chat, go behind the scenes of global payment operations to understand where margin is lost, why standard pricing models may not reflect a merchant’s actual payment flows, and how leading digital platforms assess the true cost of every transaction.

        Discover the data, operating decisions and optimisation strategies that can turn payments from a fixed expense into a source of measurable commercial value.
