World’s Largest Network of Payment Executives Opens First Chapter in Canada
The BayPay Forum Expands Global Footprint with Chapter in Toronto
Redwood Shores, CA, March 23, 2015. The BayPay Forum, one of the world’s largest innovation and education networking organizations for the payment and ecommerce industries, today announced they have opened their first Canadian chapter in Toronto. BayPay has over 10,000 members in the U.S. and Europe.
“The Canadian payments industry is extremely robust,” adds Ricky Ranjan, vice president of sales for Proxama North America. “Our influence extends well beyond Canadian borders, but there has always been a need for local executives to meet in person and share their concerns, viewpoints and suggestions on the future direction of the industry. Networking like this is not just a social activity; it has the possibility of accelerating action throughout the industry. Toronto is a great place to start, but I can certainly see new Canadian chapters opening in other cities pretty quickly.”
BayPay seeks out potential chapters from groups of executives who are looking to duplicate the Forum’s successful model in Silicon Valley, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. The chapters meet monthly with social as well as professional events. Chapter panels are designed to bring together speakers from government, business, and regulatory organizations throughout Europe and the U.S., as well as the local markets.
“Our mission is to connect executives, startups, and businesses, with ideas and opportunities in the payment and ecommerce industries,” explains Daniel Chatelain, Managing Director at the Bay Pay Forum.“While the breadth of our outreach is based online, there is no substitute for meeting in person. We are committed to opening more chapters in cities where there are large contingents of executives looking to benefit from face-to-face networking and local events. It is the way we started BayPay in Silicon Valley and it is still the backbone of the organization.”

This session, the first conducted by the Atlanta chapter, will discuss the changes in the POS space, the impact on the payments ecosystem and what the future of POS might be.
“There has never been a time with more change at POS,” comments Daniel Chatelain, Managing Director of the BayPay Forum. “mPOS, tablet-based systems, cloud-based platforms, NFC, and Beacons are creating a mix of innovation that is changing the way people will buy in-store.” He notes that POS is changing commerce as well. “Omni-channel and app based POS platforms with new commerce functionality have already started to impact the retail space,” he states. “Add to this the complexity of EMV implementation and the incorporation of mobile proximity payments, and POS is becoming an exciting area of the payments ecosystem.”
The evening’s panel will be moderated by Thad Peterson, Senior Analyst for the Aite Group where he focuses on the evolution of the payment space, the customer payment experience, and the merchant side of payments. Recognized as a global thought leader in payments, Peterson has a proven track record of identifying and developing new opportunities and technologies in payments and financial services.
The panel will include Mike Strada, Executive Director, Debit Relations and Strategy at Chase Merchant Services; Thomas Cornelius, Senior VP at InComm and President at Adility; as well as senior executives from Verifone and First Data.
Mike Strada has over 45 years of experience in the industry starting as the president and CEO of the Honor Debit Card Network, then serving as Group Manager of Electronic Payments for National Data and ultimately General Manager. He was CEO of his own consulting company specializing in electronic commerce strategies for 10 years before joining Chase eight years ago.
Thomas Cornelius has focused on the convergence of online and offline sales since 1997, when he started an ecommerce platform for retail merchants, developed the first largely available mobile ecommerce application and pioneered contextual online commerce. He has also served with Fortune 100 companies on new initiatives for digital promotions.
“In addition to the panel discussion, we always encourage a high level of audience participation,” Chatelain concluded. “We always work to include both start-ups and established companies into our events so participants get a wide range of views.”

BayPay Forum, one of the world’s largest innovation and education networking organizations for the payment and ecommerce industries, today announced the new Toronto chapter will host a speaking and panel event on the future of banking. The presentations will take place on April 23rd from 6PM to 9PM at One King West Hotel & Residence, 1 King Street West in Toronto. The event is being sponsored by Proxama,and features panelists and speakers who will take a closer look at the banking market post Samsung Pay and Apple Pay.
The BayPay Forum sponsors a series of presentations each quarter, on advances in technology or regulation that will generate new business opportunities. "There’s no denying that Samsung Pay and Apple Pay are driving the mobile payments ecosystem forward and transforming the state of play,” comments Daniel Chatelain, Managing Director of the BayPay Forum. “They are creating new challenges and opportunities for issuers.”
Some of the questions that will be addressed in this session include:
· Where do banks fit into this reformed ecosystem?
· What do issuers need to do in order to stay on top of this rapidly diversifying landscape?
· What are some successful use cases to guide key decision-makers, and lessons that have been learned so far?
The event will begin with a presentation by Neil Garner, CEO and founder of Proxama PLC, and will be followed by a keynote from Will Graylin, Global Co-GM at Samsung Pay and CEO at LoopPay. Mr. Graylin has started five companies since obtaining two Masters degrees from MIT. LoopPay, his third mobile payment startup, was acquired by Samsung in February 2015 and now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary. The prior two were Way Systems (sold to Verifone), and ROAM Data (sold to Ingenico), both were leading mobile POS & mobile payment solutions providers. ROAM became the leading supplier of smartphone POS solutions and mobile readers with millions of units shipped worldwide.
