Increase in competition in the payment industry

Submitted by: Trade Conferences International Summers

Since TCI has organised the first ever conference in South Africa that highlights the payments industry in 2012, the payments landscape has changed considerably.

With an increase in competition in the payment industry, financial institutions, retailers and service providers are under constant pressure to be on the forefront of new developments.

With the role of technology becoming more important, those associated with mobile, it is no wonder that during 2012 and 2013 mobile payments became main stream. Reserve your seat and gain more insight of threats and opportunities within the payments ecosystem, by attending the leading Next Generation Payments Southern Africa Conference & Exhibition on 5,6 and 7 March 2014.

Some of the previous 300 attending delegates participated from companies such as Metropolitan, Standard Bank, HSBC, Direct Axis, Nedbank, Engen, Tracker, ABSA, DSTV Mobile, First National Bank, Finchoice, Old Mutual and the Central Bank of Congo.
