Banks have lost plenty of ground in the payments business. But the take-up of digital services by SMEs offers lots of opportunities for them to catch up.   What’s the best approach to compete with fintechs, aggregators, software firms and BigTech in the race to provide SMEs with payment services? ·      Rapid development of payment solutions? ·      Partnerships with smart start-ups? ·      Alliances with other banks? ·      Plug in to payment ecosystems? Payment specialists at EY, Intesa Sanpaolo, Santander and Millennium bcp shared their insights at today's SME Banking Community online event. What is the biggest challenge SMEs face with payment processing? Bank execs attending the event rated them (check the carousel below) - no one pointed to security, but cost, convenience and speed are seen as essential. And the role of banks in SME merchant services? Big opportunity for banks to become trusted advisors to SMEs. The needs of SMEs are changing fast. Banks that move quickly can secure lasting relationships with SMEs that deliver recurring returns. Thank you all for joining us today!
