By Edlyn Cardoza

The ROIG Group, a specialised consultancy with a relentless focus on executable, customer-centred outcomes, is pleased to announce two new clients to its recently launched Payments Practice.

The expansion of The ROIG Group’s consulting offerings, led by industry experts Sheree Thornsberry and Shelly Schneekloth, comes at an exciting time for the FinTech and payments industries. According to Research and Markets, the global FinTech market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 20% per year over the next four years. The market value is anticipated to reach around $305 billion by 2025. With industry growth on the rise, many companies are looking to integrate payments or other financial services into their existing customer experiences or innovate their legacy payments processes. Kasasa and Seattle Bank are two clients to benefit from The ROIG Group’s financial consulting services.

The ROIG Group’s unique results-driven approach is designed with individual client needs in mind. It uses a 360-degree methodology to ensure companies don’t move from strategy to execution without a solid plan. Thornsberry and Schneekloth’s combined decades of payment experience coupled with ROIG’s transformation expertise helps clients tackle their greatest business challenges. This includes strategy development, capability building, product and solution delivery management, and culture and change management.

ROIG’s Payments Practice is well-positioned to help banks, credit unions, lenders, FinTechs, BAAS providers, and others realise their growth potential. And in an era dominated by embedded finance, non-financial businesses that want to make complex payment problems disappear can also gain from the practice’s end-to-end system.

“The acceleration of digitisation has given virtually any brand, merchant or middle-market financial institution the opportunity to add innovative payment and banking services into their existing customer experiences,” said Sheree Thornsberry, ROIG co-lead of the Payments Practice. “While everyone wants to get in on the opportunity, companies that want to bring payments into their business model often underestimate what it takes to be successful in the space.”

Payments Practice co-lead Shelly Schneekloth added: “Payments is much more than a product, it’s a line of business, and we help organisations identify and close the most glaring gaps in their approach in order to deliver long term ROI. We are excited to help our partners accelerate their decision-making, develop winning strategies, identify and leverage innovation opportunities, and fuel transformation.”
