Mobile payments have taken the world by storm, with the market particularly heating up in the last twelve months.
There’s no denying that Samsung Pay and Apple Pay are driving the mobile payments ecosystem forward and transforming the state of play, creating new challenges and opportunities for issuers.
Some of the questions that will be addressed in this session:
- 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?
Start registering for this event now as spaces will be limited.
The event will be held at One King West Hotel & Residence, 1 King Street West, Toronto, ON M5H 1A1, in the King Gallery on the 3rd Floor. Appetizers and soft drinks will be served from 6pm to 6:30pm. There will be a cash bar at the same location after 9pm.
