As digital payments evolve, partnerships among banks, payment providers, merchants, and card networks play a growing role in addressing key industry challenges like fraud prevention, regulatory compliance, and changing customer expectations.
This panel will explore how collaboration enables stakeholders to pool resources and develop joint solutions that improve market responsiveness, risk management, cost efficiency, and interoperability.
The discussion will also highlight practical examples such as Verification of Payee (VoP), the growth of real-time payments, and the adoption of the latest technologies like AI and biometric authentication to enhance security.
At G+D Netcetera, we interconnect the payment ecosystem to deliver a trusted digital payment experience. We believe that bringing practical insights and expertise from our work during this session will help us to more successfully address payment fraud while meeting consumer demands for speed, transparency, and usability.
