Payments

PDS and Open Banking frameworks have opened up an increasing flow of new 3rd party payment systems, which offers retailers more choice when satisfying customer payment preferences. Indeed, advances in the Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) field have attracted a completely new customer which according to InternetRetailing has tripled in size during 2020 alone. While consumers are keen to embrace the world of contactless payments, mobile device simplicity and network tokens, they also demand payment security. With recent PSD2 regulations brought in to tackle the rise in fraudulent transactions, the spotlight on technology compliance has intensified. RetailX#PO – Payments is designed specifically for senior commercial stakeholders from the Top1000 retailers. You will have the opportunity to probe and evaluate technologies and services from a curated selection of expert vendors, and hear keynotes from leading retailers. The agenda allows you to cut through the hype with brief, relevant and practical presentations while offering personal one-on-one time with vendors to discuss your unique requirements.
