Global electronic funds transfer between small and medium sized companies

Cross-border electronic funds transfer is a rapidly expanding field for business and consumer payments. Large multi-national corporations have been able to invest the capital necessary to create infrastructures or work with banking institutions to facilitate payments in the past, but small and medium sized companies were limited in their ability to utilize electronic payment systems. The growth of global business has created a need for effective payment systems for the many small and medium sized companies. The evolution of the industry is dependent on the convergence of business, technology and government regulation in order to succeed. This paper provides an overview of global funds transfer and future trends in the context of both business and consumer payments.
