According to a study by the Ecommerce Foundation, almost 40% of the world's online retail market will be controlled by marketplaces by 2020. However, marketplaces are facing complex challenges and do not have a payment solution that meets all their specific needs at once. Pain points for marketplaces range from cumbersome seller on-boarding to paying out in a fast and cost-efficient way, as well as accommodating local payment preferences of buyers, and meeting new regulations like the European PSD2 (Revised Directive on Payment Services). Under PSD2, certain marketplaces handling funds from both a seller and a buyer will need a payment institution license.
