SPAIN - 12 of FEBRUARY of 2020
  • Minsait Payments covers all products, solutions, and payment system services of the company with the purpose of increasing its business agility, boosting innovation, applying a higher management-centered approach, and gaining strategic flexibility.
  • It aims to capture the potential of the payment systems market, and to achieve double-digit annual growth for the next five years. Global payment business will have an estimated growth of 44% from 2018 to 2024, from €1.29tn to €1.86tn.
  • With a comprehensive and high added-value portfolio, Minsait Payments will boost a unique and differentiated option for digital services, based on the generation of intelligence and the application of machine-learning algorithms.

Minsait, an Indra company, has created a payment systems subsidiary called Minsait Payments. It brings together all its products, solutions and services in this market, and more than 1,000 professionals specialized in payment systems of Minsait in Spain, United States of America, Dominican Republic, Chile, Peru, Brazil, Mexico and Colombia.

Minsait Payments aims to increase its leadership in the Spanish and Latin American markets, as well as fully benefit from the growth potential of the payment systems market, a sector in constant growth and one of the areas that generates more value and has the highest profitability indicators within Indra. The subsidiary will therefore increase its capacity to consolidate as an Indra accelerator and add more value to the company.

Minsait’s new subsidiary expects to reach a double-digit annual growth in revenues in the following five years in its business, focused on Minsait’s core markets in Latin America and Southern Europe.

The payments global market revenue is projected to growth annually by 6% during the next years (8% in Latin America), growing from €1.29tn in 2018 to €1.86tn in 2024. It means a 44% accumulated growth in this period.

The main vectors of growth for the following years in the payment systems market are the transition to non-cash economies, the boom of e-commerce, and the growing of the online payments channel (with an increasing focus on alternative payment systems).

In Latin America, the cash payments will go from 58% of the total amount of payments in 2018 to 36% in 2022, and this trend will be from 47% to 30% in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) according to estimations. This shift will also imply a significant increase in the volume of payments through alternative channels.

The total amount of online payments compared with physical points of sale are expected to increase from 23% in 2018 to 31% in 2024.

With this new structure, Minsait Payments aims:

  • To increase its strategic flexibility in business management, thus enhancing the assurance of security and consolidating the best efficiencies for its clients.
  • To scale the issuance business and diversify its portfolio in the acquisition business, due to a major competitive advantage in the processing of transactions thanks to its differential software and the operative excellence in its processing centers network. This will increase its capacity to conduct cross selling and obtain other revenue synergies with companies from the Airlines or Hospitality industries, to name some examples.
  • To strengthen a unique, differential, high added-value range based on digital services for payment systems built upon data and analytics, based on intelligence generation and machine-learning algorithms supported by Minsait’s experience, capacities and leadership in digital transformation consulting, products, and solutions.
  • To strengthen innovation in products and specialized business models. A commitment that has been recently reaffirmed with the acquisition of Afterbanks, a fintech with a differential technology that allows data to be extracted and aggregated from different banks in real time and secure, instant payments to be made.

And all of the above in combination with the constant innovation and efficiency in its processing and digital payment solutions applied to the issuance and acquirer business, instant payments, and payment gateways.

Minsait Payments was launched at the event introducing Minsait’s report of Trends in Payment Instruments.
