Funded via credit or debit card, prepaid account, bank account, charge to mobile phone bill. • Near Field Communication (NFC): Standards-based wireless radio communication to exchange data between devices a few centimeters apart (e.g., mobile phone and merchant POS terminal). • Secure element (SE): tamper-resistant, encrypted smart chip in mobile phone to store and manage access to customer account credentials for NFC/contactless payments. • Host Card Emulation (HCE): Software representing smartcard. Eliminates need for secure element. Routes NFC communications through mobile phone’s host processor and stores and transmits payment card credentials via cloud. • Cloud: Remote server where mobile payment credentials are stored. Payments may be initiated from a mobile app, QR code, or NFC/HCE. 4 5 Drivers of U.S. Mobile Payments 5 Landscape Rapid growth in smartphones and Convergence of mobile apps online, mobile & POS channels Multiple Dynamic, technologies: QR, Incentives – Rapidly NFC, Cloud, HCE, coupons, BLE rewards, loyalty Evolving Mobile Prepaid accounts Increasing role Payments of nonbanks & Landscape Impact of EMV merchants migration e-Commerce Mobile/digital growth via Wallets mobile 5 Mobile Payment Developments 6 2006-2008 2009-2010 2011 2012 2013-2014 Remote Payments - Mobile Browser QR Codes mPOS Merchant Apps SMS & Internet PayPal Here PayPal Text to Buy NFC Mobile Wallet Text Buy It First Mobile Card NFC + Host Card Acceptance/ Emulation (HCE) mPOS NFC + SE Mobile App Stores Mobile Wallet Cloud Digital Wallet Apple Beacon BLE Apple Passbook Android Proliferation of Prepaid Contactless cards mobile Apps NFC iPhone case AmEx Prepaid Account AmEx Bluebird Mobile Bank Account Other?

  • Global Payments 2020-30 a Quantium Shift in the Next Decade Australia's Challenge
    McLean Roche Consulting Group Global Payments 2020-30 A quantium shift in the next decade Australia’s challenge – to keep up 1 Submission To RBA Payments Boards – Future of Payments – January 2020 McLean Roche Consulting Group AUSTRALIA’S PAYMENT CHALLENGE Australian payments will see more change in the next 10 years than the last 40 years combined. Australia has an expensive US/Anglo legacy based retail payments system which will be challenge by new technology, new data uses, new players and the need to protect consumer rights and data. Consumer retail payments total $975.7 billion in 2019 and will reach $3.2 trillion by 2030. A faster rate of expansion will occur in SME and Corporate payments. Payments are a very high volume, low margin business with even the smallest changes in revenues or margins delivering significant changes in actual dollars. Regulators around the globe will be challenged by forces of change and this requires all regulators and politicians to be aware of the scale of change and ensure the regulatory frame work changes and evolves quickly. 4 MYTHS DOMINATE THE NARRATIVE 1. CASH WILL DISAPPEAR – many including regulators keep predicting the death of cash. While bank notes may disappear, various forms of cash now dominate retail payments in Australia combining to total 71% share. 2. CREDIT CARDS DOMINATE LENDING – consumer credit cards are in decline having peaked 8 years ago. All the leading indicators are falling – average balance, average spend, revolve rate and number of cards. Corporate and Commercial cards are the only growth story. 3. DIGITAL PAYMENTS ARE THE FUTURE – many payment products use the ‘digital’ tag for marketing ‘glint’ however the reality is all payment products using Visa, MasterCard, Amex or eftpos payment networks are not digital.

  • THE EFFECT of MONEY TRANSMISSION REGULATION on PAYMENTS INNOVATION Benjamin Lo*
    FATAL FRAGMENTS: THE EFFECT OF MONEY TRANSMISSION REGULATION ON PAYMENTS INNOVATION Benjamin Lo* 18 YALE J.L. & TECH. 111 (2016) ABSTRACT A revolution in payments technology is taking place, as entrepreneurs develop new and innovative ways to send, receive, and store money. However, payment startups are running headlong into a thicket of federal and state money transmitter regulations, which impose costly registration and reporting requirements to prevent money laundering and protect consumers. The regulatory burden is particularly heavy at the state level, since each state defines “money transmission” differently. Payments startups must deal with highly fragmented regulation across states early in their lives, resulting in large and often redundant compliance costs while offering comparatively less marginal benefit to consumers. However, this does not mean that state money transmitter laws should be forsaken or preempted. Instead, the laws should be harmonized and streamlined to make multi-state compliance easier for payments startups, while providing adequate consumer protection and rigorous financial oversight. This Article examines the above issues by focusing on the fragmented landscape of state money transmitter regulation. It further analyzes the costs and benefits of such regulation on startups and consumers, and proposes several modifications to multi- state regulation that could improve the tradeoff between regulatory cost and innovation benefits. TABLE OF CONTENTS TABLE OF CONTENTS ................................................................ 111 I. INTRODUCTION .................................................................. 112 * Yale Law School, J.D. candidate 2017. Many thanks to Professor Jonathan Macey for his comments on early drafts; Amanda Weingarten for her incisive editing; Russell Reese, Deborah Loomis, and Brenna McGee of the Texas Department of Banking for providing an invaluable view from the regulators’ perch; and Erin Fonte and Chris Daniels for sharing a practitioner’s perspective on money transmitter matters faced by startups.

    McLean Roche Consulting Group Global Payments 2020-30 A seismic shift in the next ten years Australia’s challenge – to keep up 1 Submission To Treasury Inquiry – Payments System Review 2020/21 McLean Roche Consulting Group AUSTRALIA’S PAYMENT CHALLENGE Australian payments will see more change in the next 10 years than the last 30 years combined. Considering the economic and strategic importance of payments this Inquiry is critical, as it sets up the next two decades. It is most concerning that such a key Inquiry is being undertaken with such haste – announced in October 2020, with a completion date of April 2021 is unnecessary haste given the size and scale of the issues. Legacy Systems Australia has an expensive US/Anglo legacy based payments system which will be challenged by new technology, new data uses, new players and the need to protect consumer rights and data. The need for updating systems and change comes at a cost, who will pay? Competition The need for real competition is the single biggest issue – yet barely rates a mention. The UK made competition and consumers major requirements in 2013 which has resulted in major changes in competition with a flood of new players. COVID-19 Covid-19 has seen many consumers move to a ‘digital’ way of life accelerating key trends – both positively and negatively. Covid-19 lockdowns combined with many consumers realising it was safer working at home, have changed spending habits and usage. The question is will these habits remain as permanent behaviour once Covid- 19 is over? Digital Challenge Since 2004 rest of the world has moved to innovate by using instant, low cost, real time ‘digital’ payments based on the global ISO 20022 standard.
