The 2026 International Payments Playbook: How to Close the Gap Between Knowing and Doing

The 2026 International Payments Playbook: How to Close the Gap Between Knowing and Doing

77% of finance leaders know international payments are riskier than ever. Only 33% are taking action.

In our research with 200 Dutch finance decision-makers, we found the same pattern everywhere: leaders who readily identify fraud, payment delays, and currency volatility as top concerns, yet treat these risks as inevitable rather than addressable.

The costs don’t announce themselves through crisis moments. They compound silently- across thousands of transactions, in margins that don’t quite meet target, in working capital that’s never available when you need it, in supplier relationships that quietly fray.

This playbook gives you:

  • A 12-month audit framework to measure what international payments are actually costing you
  • Five questions to assess whether your current banking infrastructure still fits your business
  • Fraud prevention protocols that go beyond basic authentication
  • Benchmarks from 200 finance leaders on where the gaps show up most often
  • Based on research with Dutch finance leaders. Relevant wherever you do business internationally.
