Reduce Costs. Drive Growth. Make Smarter Payments Decisions.

Payments are under more pressure than ever.

Rising interchange, scheme fees, processing costs, and cross-border charges are putting pressure on margins, while merchants are simultaneously expected to improve authorization rates, conversion, and customer experience.

At the same time, an increasingly complex payments landscape means merchants need to know where the biggest opportunities are, what is changing, and where to focus their investment.

Join CMSPI at MAG Payments Conference this September to explore how leading merchants are using data, technology, regulation, and independent payments intelligence to turn these challenges into measurable commercial outcomes.

Where's the Opportunity in Your Payments Strategy?

COST: Reduce payment costs without compromising performance.

As payment costs continue to rise, even small inefficiencies can have a material impact on margin. CMSPI helps merchants identify and capture opportunities across routing, processing, incentives, fees, and the broader payments ecosystem.

GROWTH: Improve payment performance and unlock hidden revenue.

Every basis point of improvement in conversion and authorization can have a meaningful impact on revenue at scale. But optimizing for growth means balancing performance with fraud, risk, and customer experience.

We help merchants identify opportunities to:

  • Improve authorization and approval rates
  • Optimize routing and payment performance
  • Reduce friction at checkout
  • Identify hidden revenue opportunities within the existing payments stack

INTELLIGENCE: Know what matters, where the opportunities are, and which levers will drive the greatest commercial impact.

Payments are changing rapidly. New technologies, payment methods, regulations, scheme rules, and market dynamics create an increasingly complex decision-making environment. Independent intelligence and data-led benchmarking can help separate the signal from the noise.

CMSPI combines proprietary data, market intelligence, and deep payments expertise to help merchants:

  • Identify payments performance gaps and opportunities
  • Understand the commercial impact of regulatory and scheme changes
  • Evaluate providers, technologies, and payment strategies
  • Build a clear roadmap for optimization
