Across the board, consumers are becoming increasingly comfortable paying through credit and debit cards, particularly when those cards are stored in digital wallets. For merchants, cards can open access to new customers, support higher-value and recurring services, improve cross-border scalability and provide an alternative where DCB is unavailable or unsuitable.
At the same time, the continued shift towards HTTPS-by-default browsing is creating new challenges for some of the frictionless identification and header-enrichment processes that have traditionally supported DCB. This does not mean the end of carrier billing – it means that merchants, aggregators and mobile operators need to think more seriously about how cards, wallets and other payment methods can operate alongside it.
If that wasn’t complicated enough, the payments landscape is more fragmented than ever, with a host of alt.pay options growing in popularity and the impending introduction of PSD3 likely to shake up the market as we know it. And don’t get me started on the digital euro…
To help tackle these payment issues, Telemedia Magazine in partnership with NextGen Payment, is running a webinar at 14.30 UK time on 16 September to will explore how the telemedia industry can move from single-rail monetisation towards a more flexible and resilient payments model.
|This is not a webinar about replacing DCB – this is a webinar about making sure you have all the right payment rails |
What the webinar will cover
- Why credit and debit cards are becoming increasingly important to telemedia merchants and mobile content providers
- How cards and digital wallets can work alongside DCB and other payment rails in the fragmented payment world
- Why the move towards HTTPS-by-default browsing is increasing the need for alternative payment and customer-identification journeys
- Where cards can increase reach, improve conversion and support higher-value or recurring services
- What Visa VAMP means for merchants, payment providers and acquirers
- How Mastercard’s new scam-merchant monitoring requirements change the management of card-not-present risk
- How merchants can reduce fraud, disputes and chargebacks without introducing unnecessary friction
- How orchestration, tokenisation, smart routing and wallet payments could shape the next phase of telemedia monetisation
- How to be ready for what PSD3 may have in store in the fast-evolving payment landscape.
A practical conversation, not a compliance scare story
The objective of this webinar is to give telemedia businesses a realistic understanding of both. It will show how experienced payment providers can help merchants manage network requirements, protect their processing relationships and build payment journeys that convert legitimate customers while controlling risk.
For businesses that still depend almost entirely on DCB, the session will provide a practical introduction to adding card acceptance.
For merchants already processing cards, it will explore how diversifying payment providers, improving monitoring and spreading processing risk can create a stronger and more scalable operation.
