The Paytech Magazine Issue 11

In this issue of The Paytech Magazine, we bring you the most serious and significant discussion points in the payments industry across the globe. Are payments the path to peace? The shift in using payment technology to recover from the pandemic to now applying it to fight a war was unpredictable. In our Paytech Focus section, we discuss whether the West’s response to war in Ukraine will strengthen its arsenal in repelling a wider assault on the integrity of the financial system. Digital identity expert, Trulioo, discusses the need for governments to be brave. With focus on cryptocurrency and ISO 20022 in the conflict too, it’s clear that payments are shaping a new world order.

We also have extremely fascinating insights from Adam Smyth of NatWest, Louise Shorthouse of Icon Solutions and Pay.UK’s Simon Brooks on why Request To Pay is still waiting in the wings and what more can be done to put it in the spotlight.

On Page 17, ACI’s Country Manager Brazil, Eduardo Goni, and Edson Santos, Founder of Colink Business Consulting, discuss the transformational nature of PIX in Brazil and whether account-to-account payment rails such as PIX are as much an opportunity as a threat. 

As Curve prepares for a full launch in the United States, Founder & CEO, Shachar Bialick, comments on why the organization will succeed in its super-app mission – and why others might fail. And if that’s not enough, Gijsbert Pols from Adjust discusses where super-apps might be directed in the future.
