Banking Technology covers payments modernisation

Banking Technology has published a special report on the future of payments with contributions from IND and Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

"With a revolution in consumer payments happening at the point-of-sale, online and increasingly through the mobile channel, there is a need and an appetite for change across every aspect of the payments industry", says the report.

"Real-time account-to-account payments are a reality on several countries, and the US is about to embark on that journey. It will be doing so against a background where money itself is coming under scrutiny as AltCoins like Bitcoin provide a range of alternatives,  and in a technical environment where consumerisation, gamification and ubiquitious connectivity are the new buzzwords."
