A recession could shrink spending, restrict cash flow, and decrease lending. Combined, these effects would tighten small and medium-sized businesses’ budgets and potentially close doors, threatening the strategy of payment service providers (PSPs) laser-focused on the segment.

They can do so by competing on cost, accelerating cash access, and shoring up capital decisioning.
