Payments infrastructure & the globalisation of e-commerce: Who will be the future winners?

With e-commerce booming, today’s consumer expects a seamless shopping experience even across borders – and increasingly wants more choice when it comes to payment methods.

While card payments have traditionally dominated the space, Alternative Payment Methods (APMs) are gaining popularity as retail businesses and marketplaces look to continually improve conversion rates. But as APMs gain share, how will the wider payments and banking infrastructure respond, particularly as authentication and fraud prevention remain critical?

In this session, Michael and Andrew will discuss:

  • The challenges facing the payments sector as e-commerce becomes increasingly globalised
  • How will APMs such as Real-time Payments, Buy Now Pay Later and Request to Pay change the landscape?
  • How can PSPs and other Financial Institutions keep pace with the latest payment innovations?
  • What will the payments infrastructure of the future look like?
