“The major challenges that our customers experience are the same ones that have existed for some time – how to manage system complexity while keeping payments simple for end users. Payment technology has achieved this for cardholders with digital wallets like Apple Pay and Samsung Pay, serving as prime examples. Tapping a mobile phone to make contactless payments is both easy and secure, and the payment technology masks all the sophisticated security, encryption, and compliance that underpins it all.”
