Don’t miss Australia’s Most Senior Gathering of Payments Leaders

Payments are at the centre of everyday banking. They generate around 25 per cent of all revenue in the Australian financial system and are a defining factor for customers when choosing a bank. However, the payments industry is in the midst of dynamic change. The current system is out-dated and the ecosystem is evolving rapidly. New, innovative and non-rational competitors will be increasing their market share to up to 10 per cent of overall revenue by 2020.

These trends have given rise to the importance of providing a seamless, customer centric payment experience – to assist in remaining front of mind for consumers. With that in mind, Payments Innovation 2018 has been designed to provide strategies for achieving the most appropriate customer focused, holistic and streamlined payment processes.
