Virtual currency has evolved far past its humble beginnings of buying digital cows and swords. More than 47 million US adults were virtual currency users in 2012. While clearly in its nascent stage, the transition of virtual currencies from online to offline has got the attention of key payment industry players. The changing face of payments permeates the realms of card, cash and check as digital payments invades.  FIs need to pay attention now to virtual currencies as the ”canary in the mine” for the future of payments.

Join Nick Holland and Aleia Van Dyke as they explore virtual currencies crossing from digital world to the physical world. They will address how FIs can best prepare for virtual currencies and what steps financial institutions should incorporate into their strategy.
