Salary benchmarks
Our take
FXC Intelligence is the self-proclaimed 'industry standard' for cross-border payments data. It focuses on creating and developing high grade datasets, which give businesses in the card and international payments sector access to deep, predictive analysis. Its services are used by clients ranging from banks to regulators - all of whom need access to quality data in what can otherwise be a hugely opaque market.
For its clients, the perks of signing up are clear. FXC Intelligence's services give clients the ability to enhance their decision-making processes, prepare better for changes in the market, and build new, improved products. It is no surprise, then, that big industry names like Lloyds Bank and Ripple are already onboard. And, with its reputation having been boosted by the likes of Forbes and the Economist running publications based on its data, FXC Intelligence could be looking at even greater demand in future.
Furthermore, FXC Intelligence now has the ability to capitalise on a growing number of financial institutions looking to establish themselves in a new digital era. If FXC Intelligence can continue its run of current successes, as well as harnessing this potential increase in demand, it has great prospects moving forward.
