Overview
“Sometimes changes in technology and consumer adoption occur so slowly that both the nature of the change and the magnitude of the change are misjudged.” said Tim Sloane, VP, Payments Innovation, and author of report. “On-demand payments may appear to be a simple extension to traditional card-on-file solutions, but nothing could be further from the truth. On-demand payments are a significant shift in the way that consumers prefer to shop and buy and the way that merchants push the payment process into the background. With the issuer’s brand almost invisible at the point of purchase, issuers need to identify new strategies to remain relevant to consumers.”
