The Global Arena: Can Digital Wallets Meet Instant, International, Real-Time Payment Expectations?

As customer expectations evolve into non-negotiable demands for seamless, real-time experiences, the global payments ecosystem is under unprecedented pressure to integrate new technologies into core infrastructures swiftly, securely and cost-effectively.

While innovation has never been more critical, it brings complexity, compliance challenges and operational transformation, all within a landscape shaped by geopolitical tensions and stringent regulatory regimes. The question of how we are going to pay tomorrow remains uncertain.

Digital Wallets are theoretically an innovative solution to cost, competition and infrastructure but is it sustainable? Is it hype or the next generation’s method of paying?

In this webinar, we will explore:

• How do customer expectations for instant payments differ from region to region? What are the minimum requirements for a gen Z transaction, and how can banks stay relevant?
• What form will payments take in the future? How will digital wallets integrate with traditional banks to enable borderless commerce?
• What steps are the Digital Wallets Council taking to advance global interoperability in the next 12 months?
• What capabilities do digital wallets have? What is the growth potential of digital wallets?
