Sources

Methodology and sourcing behind the figures and links shown above.

Payments and cross-border transfers

Primary market-size anchor: Thunes cites the cross-border payments market at about $166 billion in 2023 (used as the revenue/market size proxy for payments and cross-border transfer capabilities). Growth potential estimated at ~6% CAGR based on multiple sources: JP Morgan’s ~5% per year projection through 2027, Zion Market Research’s 5.7% CAGR for B2B cross-border payments, and Thunes’ stated 54% increase to 2030 (implying ~6.3% CAGR). These inputs (mix of revenue and flow metrics) support a mid-single-digit annual growth expectation for payments and cross-border transfer services for suppliers and payroll.

Treasury and cash management

Estimate anchored to multiple market reports in the search results. Coherent Market Insights and Market Research Future both place the treasury/treasury-software market near $7.5B in the mid-2020s; The Insight Partners projection implies stronger growth to ~US$8.99B by 2031. Given variation across sources (CAGRs shown: ~7.0%–14.0%), a central near-term market size of ~$7.5B and a growth potential of ~10% CAGR reflects consolidation of software, services, and cash-management capabilities and ongoing digital adoption.

Fund banking

No explicit global ‘fund banking’ market figure was present in the search results. I used the provided industry references as anchors: the MRFR US investment banking market (USD 45B, 8.64% CAGR) and the scale of the global finance market (USD 33 trillion) to infer relative scale. Fund banking is a niche subset of corporate/investment banking focused on services to private funds (capital-call lines, NAV financing, fund-servicing). Assuming global investment banking revenue is several times the US figure and that fund-banking represents a small niche (roughly 5–10% of investment-banking-related revenue), a conservative midpoint estimate for global fund-banking revenue is about USD 8 billion. Growth potential is tied to private markets expansion and investment-banking trends, so I estimate a CAGR around 7.5%, in line with but slightly below the MRFR investment-banking forecast.

Venture debt

Estimated SaaS-focused venture-debt market (~$10B) based on JPMorgan-reported U.S. peak venture-debt volume of $38.8B (2021) and applying a conservative SaaS share (~25–30%) of overall venture-debt activity. Founderpath data (median deal sizes, facility sizing) and industry commentary indicate the product is substantial but cyclical since 2021; given continued institutionalisation of venture lending and expected recovery in VC activity, a moderate growth potential of ~8% CAGR is assumed over the medium term.

Trade finance and guarantees

Primary estimate uses a published global market valuation (USD 50.62B in 2023) and reported multi-year projections. CAGR taken from the same global market projection (~6.1%). Regional reports (UK) and World Bank trade-finance gap figures (US$1.5T–US$6.5T) were used to contextualize demand and upside potential for guarantees and trade-related credit.
