Research & Analysis
Payments is a dynamic industry with abundant opportunity, so long as you know where to look. At Explundish, all our work is based on research and specific insight into the payments industry. We are responsible for some of the leading proprietary research into specific payments domains (e.g. fuel cards, closed loop cards, etc). We also subscribe to selected third party research services, so we can take the shortest route to answering any question.
Investors and executives need to be provided with the right analysis in order to move decisively and respond rapidly to situations. At Explundish we ask, “What are the numbers telling us?” We are accustomed to providing clear, compelling commentary alongside crisp, factual analysis. This enables us to provide timely and accurate commercial analysis that can be used as a basis for decision-making in the boardroom and elsewhere.
Our analysis topics have included:
Product benchmarking - we compared specific products across a category to provide an independent view of strengths and weaknesses, leading practices and positioning. Our research included a feature comparison (core and optional), network acceptance, fees, terms and conditions, distribution and segment targeting.
Competitive research - For a vendor with a new product, we profiled competitors, prospects and potential commercial partners. Our assessment addressed - among other things - market position, key strengths and weaknesses, growth potential, strategies and insights into key contacts and decision-makers.
Commercial due diligence - we have provided specialised services to support M&A activities payments industry, such as card portfolio evaluation services
