在外贸电商、旅游留学、免签政策等多因素推动下，第三方支付机构占据的市场份额，尤其是跨境支付 市场份额疾步扩容。 此外，走传统银行体系的手续费成本也是重要考量。"为一笔10万美元、50万美元、100万美元的结款， 付75美元的手续费，这个模式延续了几十年，大型贸易企业习以为常。我们一单客单价可能就10—20美 元，如果走SWIFT系统，可能都不够付手续费。"一名在线上平台开立童装商店的印尼小企业主告诉记 者。 除了供应链端，电子商务平台也在新的电商运作逻辑和环境下，对跨境支付有更高的诉求。 以C2B（消费者到商户端）这个环节来说，平台要能适应全球200多个国家和地区的上千个本地化的支 付方式，以及币种置换。这里面的挑战在于：首先，全球不同区域的消费者都有自己偏好的电子支付方 式；其次，每笔C端交易，都会面临退货、换货、促销保价等复杂情况。 得益并反哺于我国企业出海进程的同时，有一些趋势性的变化正在跨境支付领域发生并巩固："数字钱 包"正成为小额高频跨境场景主支付模式。 经过我国第三方支付机构深耕"全球合规牌照+本地化服务网络"，一张全球合规支付牌照网络被低调织 就。 就在本月，我国头部第三方支付机构将成为首批支 ...
