As technology advances, more businesses turn to artificial intelligence (AI) to optimise payment processing, improve customer service, and reduce costs.
AI significantly impacts merchant services by improving authorisation rates, lowering payment processing fraud, and increasing chatbots’ effectiveness in answering queries. Although, whether the benefits from lower payment processing costs will be passed on to merchants remains to be seen.

– Predictive analytics and forecasting
– Process automation and efficiency
– Risk assessment and credit scoring
– Fraud detection and prevention
– Automated transaction reconciliation
– Customer service automation
– Personalised marketing
