SUMMARY:Why do banks need to embrace the digital wallet revolution?
DESCRIPTION:Digital wallets are changing the way we consume goods and services. Some of the factors accelerating the payments transformation include the National Payments Vision’s focus on digital assets and accelerated digital-first approach\, as well as increasing consumer demand for faster and user-friendly methods of payments.  \n  \nHow is the role of banks evolving with these changes and why should they embrace the digital wallet revolution? How will the rise of digital wallets impact their competitive edge?  \n Hosted on 7th May in partnership with Terrapay\, this webinar will explore the digital wallets landscape and emerging role of banks: \n\n As established and heavily regulated institutions\, could banks become the preferred trusted custodians for e-wallets  to ensure security and consumer protection? \n\n\nWhat are the emerging customer demographics and how is this changing the way people access money? \n\n\nIn a world where ROI is key\, how are organisations providing cost-efficient and instantaneous means of payments for both B2C and B2B transactions? \n\n\nAs the global payments ecosystems grows more and more complex\, what interoperability possibilities are offered by digital wallets ? \n\n\nHow are banks building a cost-effective infrastructure that supports global interoperability?   \n\n  \nJoin us on 7th May at 14:00 – 15:00 BST for an expert discussion to understand the opportunities this shift creates for banks and merchants to expand reach\, capture new revenue\, and deliver on the promise of true financial inclusion. \n  \nSpeakers:
