Keynote 09:15 09:20

Traditional payments ecosystems are being disrupted by various factors, including evolving customer expectations, adoption of emerging technologies and vibrant fintech ecosystems. This raises the question of what are the underlying “real” problem areas in payments that these disruptive forces are trying to address? Is it speed, predictability, transparency, traceability or something else? This keynote panel brings together SWIFT, global & regional banks and other industry stakeholders to review the new normal for payments today – maintaining the delicate balance between managing disruption and nurturing innovation.

A New Normal For Payments: Innovation. Disruption.

Keynote 09:15 09:20

Primary driver in Asia is e-commerce and in payment terms the objective of displacing cash and cheques with digital payments.   Various regulatory initiatives have been developed in order to achieve this: e.g. driving up the cost of cheque processing, looking at ways of making cash more expensive, driving down interchange rates to make the acceptance of debit cards easier for all merchants, forcing acquirers to deploy more POS, promoting domestic debit card systems in competition with the international schemes to further drive down the cost of debit card acceptance (again in an attempt to make acceptance ubiquitous), increasing contactless acceptance (because markets such as Australia have demonstrated that contactless increases debit card usage due to cardholder convenience factor). BNM's Payment Card Reform Framework is a good example of this.   Challenges in displacing cash include:

• Strategies for tackling the unbanked; • Strategies for ensuring ubiquitous terminalisation; • Putting in place solutions for realtime P2P payments • Emerging technologies and alternatives to card payments for B2C-

  Whilst some regulators are still thinking in terms of the ‘old world’ 4-party model payment and card infrastructures, the new world is moving into more efficient push transactions via ACH or even leveraging digital currencies and blockchain type solutions.   In Europe we have seen payment legislation pushing for use of efficient ACH push and pull transactions via SEPA to facilitate e-commerce. The arrival of third party providers that provide the payment link between consumer, bank and e-merchant have gained ground. In addition, with the move to real time ACH in Europe (SEPA Instant payments) we are likely to see more efficient direct e-commerce payment capability outside of the traditional card networks.   (continue next page…)

(continued from prev page)

At a global level the emergence of Bitcoin and blockchain is adding a further layer of innovation, which may result in a complete re-wiring of transaction infrastructure over the long run. Central banks, banks, governments and businesses are looking at possibilities of leveraging blockchain and distributed ledger technologies in order to enable efficient, real time solutions that remove back-office complexity and speed up settlement. The roll out of those solutions will significantly depend on the approach of regulators and the global consistency of regulatory measures in this space.   In order to allow regulators, supervisors, banks and FinTechs to understand how innovation can be embedded within the ecosystem, so-called regulatory sandboxes have developed around the world, enabling experimentation and learning. This objective is to avoid developing regulation that stifles innovation whilst at the same time ensuring that new risks are understood and properly tackled by legislation and supervision.

Call for speakers/ discussion partners

Challenging debate on real next step innovation in transacting.

Fast - Faster - Fastest ... But what does it cost? Within different scenarios, payments services providers are building and implementing ‘real-time’ payment solutions. Big back-office projects at massive costs are being implemented to create this real-time experience. Quite often an experience that will be hardly noticed by customers. The question is why are we massively investing in new infra on top of the traditional banking infrastructure? What are the real benefits and for whom? And how will new blockchain infra (p2p) impact these expensive new vehicles in the longer term?

At GPS we foster the debate and we will create a key panel with different perspectives represented to discuss the state-of-art and the expected developments. We also will review the present implementations and needs in the APAC – region.

We call for experts who would like to share their vision in this panel and review present suppliers of real-time payments solutions and real market demands. It is clear that there is still a lot of work ahead, especially in replicating physical wallets and offering a truly seamless user experience. Ultimately, the focus now should shift to mobile payments in order to build a 100% cashless future across Asia Pacific.    

Real Time Payments - Who really needs it?

Keynote 09:15 09:20

Throughout Asia Pacific where smartphone penetration is the highest in the world, consistent progress by local governments toward cashless societies is benefiting the mobile payments market. Going cashless is seen as a catalyst for the mobile payments market both in markets where use of cards is transitioning gradually into use mobile payments and in markets where consumers are leapfrogging to mobile payments from cash. Getting to 100% cashless will see mobile payments realize its potential as a key enabler of Cashless Societies.

Regulatory push, standardization, the availability of a ubiquitous payments infrastructure and comprehensive solutions as well as local consumer behaviour play a role in determining how fast the transition to 100% cashless is going to be. The top down regulatory push towards cashless societies across Asia Pacific will see the $71.92 billion mobile payments market (excluding China and India) grow exponentially to reach $271.47 billion by 2021. The number of active customers too will double to 130.8 million users.

Although benefiting from regulatory push factor, the initial slow take up is mainly due to the drawbacks of today’s mobile phone as a form factor. This includes lack of user interface and payment flow standardization, the need for additional security features such as tokenization and biometrics authentication, effective resolution of data privacy issues and above all and the fact that it doesn’t replicate the physical wallet. The presence of local proprietary e-wallets built to differing security standards alongside global and open 3rd party e-wallets further add confusion to the market.

Despite current challenges, the market is progressing. Standardization efforts are already underway in some countries and contactless payments facility is growing. However, contactless payments facility is still far from ubiquitous i.e. it has to be available on trolleys, at toilets, for donations to churches, at tourist foreign exchanges and virtually everywhere else. There is also a lack of comprehensive solutions to cater for segments holding on to the use of cash e.g. the poor, the old, people with disabilities, people living in rural areas and short term visitors/tourists, that will complete a transaction that involves payment method, loyalty/rewards, receipts and in some instances identification.    

It is clear that there is still a lot of work ahead, especially in replicating physical wallets and offering a truly seamless user experience. Ultimately, the focus now should shift to mobile payments in order to build a 100% cashless future across Asia Pacific.

Keynote 09:15 09:20

Join Quah Mei Lee to gain her insights on the latest developments alongside key issues plaguing Asia Pacific. Together with an expert panel, she will then debate these issues & questions.

1. What would be the ideal mobile payment solution? • Current focus has been to leave it to market forces to

determine which solutions will prevail • Is the confusion created by multiple solutions in the market

holding back the demand for mobile payments? • Why aren’t solutions providers offering seamless

comprehensive solutions? • Will transforming the mobile phone into a physical wallet

increase take up of mobile payments?  

2. What direction should standardization of mobile payments take? • Current focus is on payment flow and acceptance of all

payment methods at merchant site • Should it include guidelines on minimum security and

handling of data privacy issues? • Should it mandate seamless comprehensive solutions that

will replace the physical wallet while leaving room for competition in innovation within this broad scope?

3. What would be the final combination of efforts from industry (regulator, solution providers, merchants) that will make mobile payments go mainstream in Asia Pacific?

• Current focus by governments has been on pushing options that increase cashless transactions. In addition to this,

• Australia is looking into removal of higher value currency notes i.e. $50 and $100, but while this will help push mobile payments that is capped below $100, there are indications from India that people may revert back to use of cash and behavior switches are temporal.

• Singapore is funding cashless payment acceptance at small merchants (hawker centres). While this will take time to complete, take up is still slow elsewhere despite wide acceptance via NETS

• Malaysian tolls are going 100% cashless through use of a single payment method.

• What steps are necessary to increase take up and encourage use of mobile payment facilities?

• Should the regulator mandate use of mobile payments? • Should the regulator mandate or encourage via incentives

true ubiquitous acceptance in order to get to 100% cashless?

Digital Payments Fraud - Transactional Analytics Matter!

Global payments are expected to exceed $2.3 trillion by 2019, and each year, with non-cash payments accounting for an increasing share of this massive market. And with the uptake on mobile payments and CNP transactions, fraudsters now target these channels via identity hijacking, attacking leaky access points. 

Dr Srini, founder and CDO at Aerospike (San Francisco) shares at this indepth track on fraud prevention on:

- Why is Real-time detection of Fraud and Risk Management critical in Payment Systems? 

- How to execute Real-time decisioning (within 200-500 milliseconds) in payment systems

- Hybrid Memory Architecture and specific use cases

Although over 70% of China’s population is banked, the country still has work to do to push financial inclusion and economic empowerment. Some of the key players in China’s journey towards financial inclusion have been China’s third party payment players including Ant Financial and Tencent. Through digital platforms, these players have given millions of Chinese individuals and SMEs access to financial products and services they might not otherwise have. This has brought many companies and individuals into the economic fold. But is China just a special case or could the lessons from China be applied across the rest of Asia? Where are the opportunities for financial inclusion in Asia? During this informative panel, experts from across the financial industry will discuss these questions and more as they explore the implications of digital finance for financial inclusion and economic empowerment Key Points to be covered: • Financial inclusion challenges in Asia today • The China model – would it work? • Models of digital inclusion • Areas of regional growth • The future of financial inclusion in Asia
