Mobile Lets Alternative Payments Get Physical

Mobile is disruptive technology that can change the game very quickly for any one of the alternative payment providers.  Alternative payments heretofore have traditionally been restricted to virtual marketplaces and the Internet and can now enter the physical world; a fact that will either propel or obliterate the business model of nearly all alternative payment types.  This session will review the game changing impact of mobile on all forms of alternative payments.  You will learn how all forms of alternative payments can enter the physical world using one of four different mobile phone channels as the launching pad to bridge the gap between virtual world offerings and the point of sale. This session will also profile the processing differences and applications for each of the major mobile payment processing schemes. Review actual deployment experience and how the mobile platform can be used to increase customer self-service and reduce costs and increase low cost forms of electronic payment.

Alternative Payments - What's the Real ROI for eCommerce Merchants?

As new payment methods such as PayPal, Google Checkout, Bill Me Later and electronic checks become more popular with consumers, and new players like Green Dot and Revolution Money enter the space, it's important to anticipate how the acceptance of so-called "alternative payments" impact your business. This panel discussion will review both established and newer payment alternatives to determine what is the right mix of payment options for their market. The session reviews latest industry analysis and benchmarking studies, along with best practices to optimize sales, increase tickets values and attract new customers.

Decoupled Debit: Myths and Reality

Does decoupled debit mean disintermediation of banks from their checking account customers? Or, does decoupled debit provide a new opportunity for financial institutions to attract new customers outside of their branch footprint? Mike Grossman, CEO of Tempo Payments, will sift through the industry buzz and discuss the potential impact that decoupled debit will have on the marketplace. He will discuss Tempo's offering, explore risk management issues, and present new opportunities for innovative debit card programs.

Customer-Centric Loyalty Marketing: The Untapped Value Proposition for Alternative Payments

Credit card issuers are spending billions of dollars annually on loyalty programs and this has driven consumers' usage of payment cards. Even so, the traditional payment mechanisms fail to deliver for both merchants and consumers. In order to drive adoption of alternative payments and maximize their potential to build profitable customer relationships, we must learn to capitalize on the inherent advantages of these payments to build customer-centric customer loyalty marketing initiatives - and we must also avoid repeating the past mistakes of traditional credit and debit card loyalty programs.

In this presentation, we will outline the key components to a customer-centric loyalty strategy, discuss ground-breaking examples of how alternative payments can leapfrog traditional credit and debit card loyalty programs and present a step-by-step process for developing payments-based loyalty strategies that maximize profitable customer relationships.

Implications for Financial Institutions

Should Depository Institutions embrace alternative payments or resist them? Are they even relevant to a typical bank? How likely is it that even the most successful ones will achieve enough scale to matter, and if so, when? This session will provide a context for understanding how alternative payment methods impact the incumbent core business of most banks and provide guidance on how to respond.
