Download the presentations from our 2013 Future of Payments Colloquium: Shifting consumer preferences, startup disruptors, smartphone apps, digital wallets, person-to-person payments, and changing plastic card standards are all facets of an uncertain payments market. Household names like Visa, Google, and PayPal are pitted against startups like Square and Dwolla. Credit unions and credit union partners are responsible for building capabilities and staying flexible enough in the meantime to assure that members will have the options they want.
Today in payments, the questions rule:
- How should credit unions plan strategically in such an uncertain environment?
- What are the emerging systems that promise the most opportunity for small financial institutions like credit unions?
- What are the likely payments scenarios over the next five years?
- What are the known unknowns in the market?
This full-day colloquium addresses those questions directly and will feature insights and scenario planning from McKinsey & Co., which runs one of the world's preeminent payments consulting practices.
