Building the next generation payments stack
Wednesday 16 September 2026 | 14:30 UK time | Online
Consumers are ever more comfortable paying by card, especially cards stored in digital wallets, while HTTPS-by-default browsing is challenging the frictionless journeys DCB has relied on. This is not a webinar about replacing DCB: it’s about making sure you have all the right payment rails.

Why now?
Hosted by Telemedia Magazine in partnership with NextGen Payment, we’ll explore how the telemedia industry can move from single-rail monetisation towards a more flexible and resilient payments model.
|
Cards & wallets Cards are opening new doorsFor merchants, cards 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. |
HTTPS shift Browsing is changing billingHTTPS-by-default is creating new challenges for the frictionless identification and header-enrichment processes that have traditionally supported DCB. It’s not the end of carrier billing, it’s a call to run cards, wallets and other methods alongside it. |
Fragmentation A more crowded landscapeAlt.pay options are multiplying, PSD3 is set to shake up the market as we know it and don’t get us started on the digital euro. Resilience now means multiple rails, orchestrated well. |
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 is to give telemedia businesses a realistic understanding of both opportunity and risk and to show how experienced payment providers help merchants manage network requirements, protect processing relationships and build payment journeys that convert legitimate customers while controlling risk.
If you depend mostly on DCB todayThe session provides a practical introduction to adding card acceptance, what it takes, what it costs and how to do it without disrupting what already works. |
If you already process cardsWe’ll explore how diversifying payment providers, improving monitoring and spreading processing risk can create a stronger, more scalable operation. |
