• Big data, biometry, wallets: how to deal with a tsunami of changes?
• DSP2, SEPA, digital identity: Are we heading towards new banking ecosystems?
• Apple Pay, bitcoin, privacy: the next generation of customers: are they in the
driving seat?

Surfing on these recurring waves of technology - from mobile biometric

omni channel approach.

You will have the opportunity to see concrete demonstrations of how Worldline R&D
departments are designing tomorrow’s payment. Topics showcased will range from
continuous and adaptive authentication to bitcoin acceptance on legacy POS
terminal, HCE mobile payment with Certified Customer review, Smart wearable
payment, privacy protection in fraud detection…

Dr. Victor Dostov President of Russian Electronic Money Association, Russia
For years, the industry innovated to make the payment process for the customer as simple as possible. But with the simplicity came a price. Molding different instruments into one interface, are we heading to the point when there is nothing more to innovate?
As payments become as ‘simple’ as water or electricity supply, let us look at what regulation, customer relations and local vs global will look like in this presumably ‘post-innovation’ era.
Dr. Victor Dostov is a President of the Russian Electronic Money Association, organization representing the largest electronic money operators in Russia. With the background in management, research and investment in payment technology projects, Victor is one of the leading experts in the field. He advised public bodies on drafting regulation for electronic money in Russia and continues to provide his expertise on the further evolution of legal framework – especially prudential supervision and AML/CFT issues. He previously held a position of a founding partner in PayCash Group where he contributed to the launch of successful projects both in Russia (Yandex.Money, Beeline mobile commerce, etc) and abroad. Victor is also known as an ardent proponent of using hi-tech payment instruments for enhancing financial inclusion and therefore provides his expertise in CGAP, AFI, FATF and Eurasian Group.

Jacob Boersma Senior Consultant of Innopay
Blockchain technology: although the concept is not widely understood yet, its potential for the financial sector is becoming more apparent every day. Take the example of two mid-size US banks that recently announced they will use a cryptocurrency solution from Ripple Labs to arrange their correspondent banking services. Their motivation: it would lower the costs of their operations and process transactions faster than via the traditional correspondent banking network. Solutions like these trigger the question: What other solutions inspired by this new technology are out there? How can other financial companies benefit from this breakthrough?
During this session, Jon Matonis (Bitcoin Foundation) and Michael Maier (Fidor Bank) will share their knowledge and opinion on the topic. The session will focus on:
• Which practical Bitcoin-inspired solutions for the financial sector are already out there?
• Which (inter)bank processes could be significantly optimized using blockchain technology?
• How banks/financials can use blockchain solutions to strengthen their competitive edge
• Why banks will drive the development of cryptocurrency technology
The session is chaired by cryptocurrency expert Jacob Boersma (Innopay), co-author of the report "Cryptocurrency: a revolutionary technology".
Jon Matonis is the Founding Board Director of the Bitcoin Foundation.

Retail Payments: new instruments and breakthroughs MAR.
10th
Lorenzo Gaston Technical Director of Smart Payment Association, Paris
For a long time now, the retail payment market has been an example of stability
with well-established and socially accepted payment methods and little
incentive for significant innovation. However in the last five years, as a result of
the new pro-competition regulatory framework and major technical
innovation , we are dealing with an unprecedented breakthrough in the way
retail payment instruments are issued and managed. This evolution is mainly
driven by the use of internet and telecom networks as new payment channels
and the arrival of new payment service providers competing with the traditional
actors of the financial industry. Despite this evolution, one thing remains, new
retail payment instruments need to balance trust and convenience.
In this presentation, Lorenzo Gaston, Technical Director of the Smart Payment
Association will:
• Depict the regulatory, technical and commercial complexities of the retail
payments market

always-on connected world

payment instrument
