Expertise - what we do; who we are

• CSI serves the Payments community globally; Retail Banks and their Associations/Networks, Processors, Merchants, Vendors, even Regulators.
• We are senior professionals, all with long experience of retail banking and payments in international markets, EU- or US-based, plus Associates domiciled in some 20 markets world-wide.
• We are typically focused on Business Development:
  • on the introduction of new products, and/or strengthening competitive positioning,
  • on expansion into new market segments or geographies,
  • on improving profitability via operational and/or technological initiatives,
  • and on joint ventures, mutual partnering, and merger/acquisition.
  
  In all of these activities, our Consultants, although 'business-focused', have strong appreciation of functional requirements:
  • existing and emergent technologies, processing options, & systems vendors,
  • operational and systems audit, and 'benchmarks',
  • pricing, cost analysis & finance,
  • business modeling, planning, and implementation management.
  
  All with ready access to specialists in a broad range of functional disciplines.
