The Business Services sector has seen some recovery in Q3 due to an uptick in demand for financial solutions, processing services, and person to person payment systems. After reining in spending during the recession, many financial institutions are starting to expand their budgets. Some of this spending is anticipated to go towards IT which should benefit some companies within the Business Services sector. While this increase in spending is a good sign for the entire sector, weakness in check processing and lending solutions offset some of the sector's Q3 growth.

The payment services and credit card segment of the Business Services sector has experienced a slight recovery as well. After decreased consumer spending limited transaction revenues during the recession, companies are beginning to see an uptick in credit and debit card spending. Emerging markets have been the primary source of strength as burgeoning middle classes around the world begin to shift toward using cards to pay for goods and services instead of cash.

While growth opportunities for credit and debit cards within the U.S. are limited due to high levels of saturation, the sector has seen consumer spending return to near pre-recession levels in the U.S. market. It is believed that a large portion of this money comes from disposable income rather than an expansion of credit card debt. ATM service companies have also seen an uptick in usage during Q3.
