Connecting It’s as easy as 123, KYC Know your customer; Empathy is EVERYTHING.
Connecting Getting to know the payments ecosystem Normal people don’t think ‘payments’ Make sure you have the right perspective; Payments is not fintech; Fintech is not payments; Payments is ‘generational’; Payments is relatively dull; It IS an ecosystem; It’s a bubble.
Connecting Don’t over-complicate it! Peter and Jane hoped that the shopkeeper would accept Apple Pay.
Connecting Regulation PSR Objectives: –to ensure that payment systems are operated and developed in a way that considers and promotes the interests of all the businesses and consumers that use them –to promote effective competition in the markets for payment systems and services - between operators, PSPs and infrastructure providers –to promote the development of and innovation in payment systems, in particular the infrastructure used to operate those systems
Connecting The Payments Community Possibly the most pompous statement in the history of payments: If you would like to join the Payments Community, you can register your interest by sending an with your name, organisation and address to “The PSR established the Payments Community to influence the work programme of the Forum.”
Connecting PSF - End User Needs The End-User Needs Working Group has been established to ensure that the UK’s Payments Strategy will fully meet the needs of individual and organisational users
Connecting PSF - Simplifying Access to Markets The Simplifying Access to Markets Working Group has been established to examine whether and how payment systems can be developed in order to simplify access and participation in the markets for PSPs.
Connecting PSF - Financial Crime, Security and Data The Financial Crime, Security and Data (Financial Crime) Working Group has been established to engender user trust in safe and certain payments through collaboratively preventing financial crime.
Connecting PSF - Horizon Scanning The Horizon Scanning Working Group has been established to research and present a regular horizon scanning report to the Forum. The report will identify key regulatory and technological developments and suggest how these might be relevant to the Forum’s work.

Connecting Best guess… Nothing will be ‘mainstream’ in payments Nothing will die Prepaid will be niche Bank accounts will be main funding source - PayPort Merchants will develop holistic mobile apps inc. payment MIF reduction will impact the value of card payments Tokenisation will obviate wider data-driven benefits Data protection regulations will stifle insight SecuREpay will cause consumer confusion
Connecting And there’s more… Authentication will be channel centric and biometric Merchants will take more risk - calculated Static authentication will be point of compromise Mobile payments continues as an artificial construct Blockchain will be exposed as a fantasy Purchasing cycles will lengthen again Acquirers’ merchant relationships diminish Capex in payment systems – consumers and vendors Solutions vendors must provide collaborative route maps
Connecting Perspective
Connecting Good Luck!
