Payment  Industry  Trends  for  2016  

Page 2: Payment Industry Trends for 2016

2015  was  a  historical  year  within  the  payments  industry  that  held  numerous  events,  which  transformed  the  future  of  payments.    

Between  the  EMV  liability  shiD,  data  breach  protecEon,  mobile  payments,  and  the  growth  of  mobile  wallets,  there  were  many  significant  changes  that  took  place.  

Page 3: Payment Industry Trends for 2016

The  payments  industry  is  evolving  rapidly  and  will  certainly  conEnue  to  do  so  throughout  2016  as  well.  As  2016  transpires,  here  are  some  of  the  top  trends  predicted  to  make  an  impact  this  year:  

Page 4: Payment Industry Trends for 2016

ConEnuaEon  of  EMV  ImplementaEon  

October  1st  marked  the  start  of  the  EMV  liability  shiD  in  the  United  States  and  altered  the  regulaEons  in  regards  to  card-­‐present  credit  card  fraud.      With  EMV  now  in  full  swing,  this  form  of  technology  will  be  a  great  soluEon  to  shield  both  the  merchant  and  consumer  against  possible  counterfeit  fraudulent  transacEons.        

Page 5: Payment Industry Trends for 2016

EMV  integraEon  will  take  Eme,  and  most  merchants  sEll  have  yet  to  upgrade  their  terminals  to  EMV-­‐capable  products  despite  the  mandated  liability  shiD.  A  study  done  by  The  Strawhecker  Group  found  that  only  27  percent  of  merchants  within  the  U.S.  were  EMV-­‐ready  as  of  October  1st.    

Page 6: Payment Industry Trends for 2016

The  main  barriers  that  prevented  merchants  from  becoming  EMV  compliant  in  Eme  for  the  liability  shiD  were  due  to  price  and  lack  of  Eme  to  research  EMV  and  the  compaEble  soluEons.    Likewise,  although  merchants  are  now  fully  responsible  for  any  incidents  of  counterfeit  fraud,  many  are  sEll  not  concerned  about  upgrading  their  terminals  right  away.    

Page 7: Payment Industry Trends for 2016

Several  merchants  may  not  upgrade  their  terminals  unEl  it  comes  closer  to  the  Eme  when  they  need  to  renew  or  purchase  new  terminals.  At  this  Eme,  merchants  may  feel  it  more  worthwhile  to  go  ahead  and  invest  in  an  EMV  terminal  so  their  business  stays  up-­‐to-­‐date  with  modern  security  and  technology.      2016  will  be  a  prime  year  where  many  merchants  will  make  the  switch  to  EMV  technology  as  it  becomes  more  widespread  and  prevalent.

Increase  of  Mobile  Wallets  

With  the  rise  of  mobile  payment  acceptance,  consumers  are  now  beginning  to  uElize  their  smartphones  to  make  purchases.    Mobile  wallets  are  one  alternaEve  payment  opEon  that  has  become  increasingly  popular  amongst  consumers.  

Page 9: Payment Industry Trends for 2016

A  study  done  by  eMarketer  found  that  mobile  payment  transacEons  are  forecasted  to  grow  210%  during  2016.    

Page 10: Payment Industry Trends for 2016

In  2014,  Apple  introduced  Apple  Pay  as  the  first  mainstream  mobile  wallet  that  provided  a  safe  and  fast  alternaEve  for  payments.  By  the  end  of  2015,  all  of  the  major  smartphone  manufacturers  had  developed  a  mobile  wallet  –  including  Android  Pay  and  Samsung  Pay  in  addiEon  to  Apple  Pay.

In  turn,  with  technology  advancing  to  benefit  the  convenience  of  the  consumer,  most  customers  are  now  making  their  purchases  digitally.    As  a  result,  checks,  cash,  and  even  credit  card  usage  could  slowly  decline  over  the  years  and  smartphones  could  become  the  prime  way  consumers  pay.

Growth  of  NFC    

As  mobile  wallets  have  expanded  recently,  so  has  the  need  for  Near-­‐Field  CommunicaEon  (NFC).    NFC  is  a  method  of  contactless  communicaEon  and  data  exchange  between  electronic  devices,  like  smartphones,  to  other  devices  like  credit  card  terminals.    

Page 13: Payment Industry Trends for 2016

NFC  is  not  only  a  valuable  soluEon  for  consumers,  but  for  businesses  as  well,  and  has  already  begun  emerging  at  in-­‐store  counters,  vending  machines,  and  EckeEng  booths.      When  making  a  payment,  consumers  will  hold  their  smartphone  over  an  in-­‐person  contactless  terminal  to  make  a  payment  and  NFC  will  communicate  the  data  exchange  from  the  smartphone  to  the  terminal.  

Page 14: Payment Industry Trends for 2016

NFC’s  vast  list  of  where  and  when  it  can  be  used  is  highly  appealing  and  is  addiEonally  being  coupled  with  EMV  terminals,  making  it  even  more  accessible.    NFC  is  unquesEonably  evolving  the  way  consumers  acEvate  and  pay  for  transacEons  and  2016  will  be  a  big  year  for  NFC  popularity.

Emergence  of  Blockchain  Technology    

Blockchain  technology  is  predicted  to  break  out  in  the  payment  industry  during  2016.    Blockchain  is  a  type  of  database  on  which  bitcoin  is  based  off,  where  every  bitcoin  transacEon  is  documented.    

Page 16: Payment Industry Trends for 2016

It  is  comprised  of  a  vast  series  of  data  blocks,  where  one  or  mulEple  transacEons  are  combined,  encrypted,  and  stored  in  a  secure  way.    With  blockchain,  transacEons  are  processed  quicker  and  are  cost-­‐effecEve.    

Page 17: Payment Industry Trends for 2016

It  is  safe  to  say  that  2016  is  foreseen  to  be  an  evenaul  year,  as  new  trends  emerge  and  recent  trends  conEnue  to  grow.    EMV  will  conEnue  to  be  implemented  within  businesses  and  many  merchants  will  begin  to  upgrade  their  soluEons  to  become  EMV  capable.    Mobile  wallets  will  addiEonally  expand  and  become  more  prominent  within  digital  payments  and  the  need  for  NFC  technology  will  also  become  more  prevalent.    Blockchain  technology,  a  newer  trend,  is  expected  to  make  an  impact  during  the  New  Year  as  well.
