INNOVATIVE PAYMENTS: HERALDING A NEW ERA IN TRANSACTIONS

Spearheaded and chaired by Andréa Toucinho, Head of Studies, Prospective and Training at Partelya Consulting, this event will tackle the following issues:
- How are attitudes to instant transfers evolving in Europe? - In what way has European legislation impacted on how this means of payment has evolved? - What changes are we seeing in how market players (such as banks, retailers and treasurers) are tackling this angle? - What security aspects come into play?
