Who should understand the changing retail payments environment? Basically, everyone in a credit union including CEOs, operational staff, card services specialists and marketing and business development directors. To help make sense of the rapidly-changing landscape, Synergent Card Services, in cooperation with one of its partners, Aite, is offering a special Retail Payments Webinar on Tuesday, March 17.
2015 will mark a tipping point in U.S. retail payments, when the industry will see dramatic changes in POS payment technology. EMV is driving a portion of the change; while the U.S. is the last G-20 country to upgrade to the EMV standard, its migration is actually proceeding more rapidly than most of the countries that preceded it. By the end of this year, 70% of U.S. credit cards and 59% of merchant terminals will be EMV-capable. Innovation in payment technology is also driving change, with Apple Pay popularity soaring, finally making the much-hyped mobile payments promise a reality.
Join Aite Group’s Retail Banking & Payments research director, Julie Conroy, as she discusses the myriad changes 2015 will bring, and their impact on your credit union. Julie is a senior analyst within Aite Group’s Retail Banking practice, and covers fraud, data security, anti-money laundering, and compliance issues. Aite Group partners with participants in the international financial services marketplace, leveraging their analysts' industry experience to challenge, to advise, and to catalyze growth through independent market research and timely consulting.
