What We Do  |  Research & Strategy

CFSI conducts groundbreaking market and industry research, compiles other relevant research and case studies, and identifies industry best practices. It then translates this information into actionable opportunities, strategies and solutions for the wide range of players across the financial services industry.

Since its inception, CFSI has published numerous papers on a wide variety of topics, including prepaid cards, partnerships, underbanked customer segmentation, new distribution channels and strategies, the development of alternative credit data, and improved risk management systems. Recent studies have included an examination of the potential of mobile banking for underbanked consumers; an overview of how current insurance industry practices impact the underbanked, exploring supply and demand issues in card-based remittance programs, and the latest data on prepaid card transaction behavior and its significance in building account-like, feature-rich cards.
