It is real Aaron McPherson @aaronmcpherson: @noyesclt Agree that MCX has made impressive progress - panel had a messaging issue. Where are the opportunities for #money2020 attendees?

RT @thinkpayments: #Money2020 Good morning! I thought loop was cool. ngenuity Journal @ngenuityjournal: @BankInnovation Agree - they stood out to us too.

Easy for us to think its all about us! #money2020 vadhri @vadhri: #money2020 any presentation with less slides more demo (need to see what is possible than visionary statements) is what is needed Dave Birch @dgwbirch: #money2020 there is a long-term inexorable shift toward direct access to the funds Dave Birch @dgwbirch: #money2020 maybe in a decade Visa/MC will be switching identity instead of payments Jason A. Cobb @jasonacobb: What about the elephant in the room- offer fatigue? If offers are the driver to move from plastic & people are sick of offers… #money2020 Dun & Bradstreet @DnBUS: @jasonacobb Terrific pt. Encouraging consumers to define the offer types that interest them may help, but timing also important. #Money2020 PrairieCloudware @PrairieClouds: #money2020 skeptical of MCX as zombie apocalypse for Visa et al.

Might take 5 yrs but it is real.#money2020 Thomas Noyes @noyesclt: #money2020 MCX addresses loyalty by agreeing every retailer is different. They can support unique loyalty services in a common way Jason A. Cobb @jasonacobb: Big innovation coming up will be more focused on access to banking 4 under served & to payments & credit for starting businesses. #Money2020 Dun & Bradstreet @DnBUS: @jasonacobb Definitely an area for startups...and also for traditional finserv players (via acquisitions). #Money2020 Sara Abernethy @saritasla: @jasonacobb @money2020 Agreed. Big data needs to be about creating experiences. Sole focus on offers is a race to the bottom. #money2020 Jim Marous @JimMarous: A2: Takeaway - #NFC was declared dead . . . again, and again, and again #Money2020 James Wester @jameswester: You can keep saying "it's not about payments," but you still have to do payments flawlessly. That's not a parlor trick #money2020 Paul F. Doyle @pfdvv: @BofA_News biggest take away...the people, the connections, the meetings #money2020 Thomas Noyes @noyesclt: #money2020 this event is the best networking event I've ever attended..

It's hard to fit in all of the meetings and still see some of the sessions Aaron McPherson @aaronmcpherson: A2: Presenters playing it safer this year #money2020PrairieCloudware @PrairieClouds: #money2020 Biggest takeaway is the networking done. Would come again for that alone. David W Pipe @DavidWPipe: A2: Too many players still trying to solve payment - while payment isn't broken. It's about solving other problems. #money2020 Adam Snyder @snyderstrategy: A2: In the words of Sinatra, "the best is yet to come" w/ #Payments yet Q's still remain (strategy fintech penetration) #money2020 James Ray @Rockhopper08: A2: #Money2020 insights? Consumers aren't seeking to "pay" for transactions, they are seeking to transact. Payments are ancillary. Jim Marous @JimMarous: A2: Takeaway - Conference proved that among more than 4000 #fintech followers, nobody has all the answers #Money2020Paul F. Doyle @pfdvv: It is TOO Big? Yes, this was said today in Vegas...but it is about the conference, not what you might imagine #money2020 Norman Guadagno @ThinkTone: My biggest disappointment with #Money2020 was not enough bling. Needed more gold $ necklaces. Oh, and that consumers are still confused. ngenuity Journal @ngenuityjournal: @dgwbirch compares #money2020 to SXSW's growth -- need to make sure the media presence and corporatism doesn't overshadow authentic convos Kevin Boglarsky @kmbx2ind: #money2020A2. Size of the event might have exceeded a comfortable size. Both in number of sessions and keynotesmore time for networking Jim Marous @JimMarous: A2: Size of event dictated by size of challenge and opportunity in payments today. I wish I could have added one more. #Money2020 Xenophon Dimopoulos @XenophonD: A2: My takeaway is simple, if your business is in emerging payments and financial services, you should attend #money2020 Dave Birch @dgwbirch: #money2020 there's a limit to what the technologists can do in payments, there are regulatory contexts that need to be shifted Sam Maule @sammaule: There are structural and regulatory blockers inhibiting major innovation in payments. Good point from @dgwbirch #money2020 Paul F. Doyle @pfdvv: Point about regulators preventing banks from innovation...very good point #money2020 Digital Retail Apps @digitalretail: A2: shopping and paying flow will be seamless & integrated - not disjointed as it is today #Money2020 Social Network Woman @Donnaantoniadis: I was impressed with @AmericanExpress and their @serve product #Money2020 Jim Marous @JimMarous: A3: Shopper is no longer a follower, but is leading the charge with a mobile-first mentality. We need to keep up. #Money2020 Cherian Abraham @cherian_abraham: #Money2020 - Paypal defaulting to Bill Me Later as funding source in app was smart, towards building a compelling merchant value prop. Cherian Abraham @cherian_abraham: #Money2020 - Paypal knows how to manage risk, sometimes at the expense of cust experience. Bill Me Later is Paypal finetuning its economics Aaron McPherson @aaronmcpherson: A3: Shopper of the future will have vast information (some of it false) - challenge is going to be to penetrate the cloud #money2020 David W Pipe @DavidWPipe: A3: Shopper of the future will expect identical, seamless experience across all channels - at warp speed. #money2020 Thomas Noyes @noyesclt: #money2020 consumers and merchants will migrate toward value...

Convenience, choice and security will direct their behavior. Dave Birch @dgwbirch: .@aaronmcpherson visa/MC could switch merchant identities too and therefore anchor distributed reputation management #money2020 Thomas Noyes @noyesclt: #money2020 banks and V/MA are NOT the center of commerce.. They should work to support it. Few large companies excel at helping others Bank of America @BofA_News: A3: Connected. Informed.

Rules . .David W Pipe @DavidWPipe: A3: I also believe any solution that tries to dis-intermediate the banks is doomed to failure. #money2020 Bank of America @BofA_News: A3: Expects simple, seamless experiences across channels and more personalized, relevant propositions. ^fs #money2020 Thomas Noyes @noyesclt: #money2020 new networks are forming and most see them though the lens of what we have today (we do that already).

Paul F. Doyle @pfdvv: What about B2B? ...are we, as an industry giving enough attention to B2B payments at this event? Me think, not! #money2020 Elizabeth Dias @techmktggirl: "@Apple may very well be the leader when it comes to mobile commerce." #money2020 David W Pipe @DavidWPipe: A3: Secure payment will become nothing more than a hygiene factor as solutions focus on other issues. #money2020 Bank Innovation @BankInnovation: Apple, again the elephant in the room #money2020 Dun & Bradstreet @DnBUS: A3: Retailers will have to battle for shoppers' mental space as they seek to reduce irrelevant offers. #Money2020Thomas Noyes @noyesclt: #money2020 why isn't Apple doing more in payments? They have so much opportunity. They care about great consumer experiences Aaron McPherson @aaronmcpherson: @noyesclt I used to think Apple had a master plan, but now I wonder if they just have bad management. #money2020 Micah Bergdale @nycmacguy: @aaronmcpherson @noyesclt Apple getting into traditional payments would be a divergence of strategy & is not who they want to be #money2020 Aaron McPherson @aaronmcpherson: @noyesclt @nycmacguy Agreed, but I worry that they're missing the window. #money2020 Jason A. Cobb @jasonacobb: Excellent point, Apple & Google occupy the same mental space as MS and IBM did in the past as the big bullies. #Money2020 Dun & Bradstreet @DnBUS: And analysis is nothing w/out the right ?s. RT @BofA_News: A3: Data is nothing without insight & analysis. ^fs #Money2020 #Money2020 Scott Dueweke @Scott_Dueweke: The aging of the population will force mobile into the mainstream, I believe....#money2020 Elizabeth Dias @techmktggirl: A4: Relevant context around payment exp itself, and creating "openness" with apps & services that solve a true cust problem. #money2020 Jim Marous @JimMarous: A4: #Mobile pymnts need perceived security, ease of use and guarantees of cards.

Mobile payments become mainstream when all processes are streamlined. #Money2020 Cherian Abraham @cherian_abraham: #Money2020 - To deliver customer value, one needs context..and lots of it. Which is what makes Banks and Google for example irreplaceable. Sara Abernethy @saritasla: Mobile payment alone does not change the process of checkout in retail. Shopper still waits in line with existing wallets. #money2020 Bank of America @BofA_News: A4: AND there is a compelling enough use case to incent customers to change their behavior (beyond the payment) ^fs #money2020 Bank of America @BofA_News: For mobile payments to succeed they need to be universally accepted. ^fs #money2020 Social Network Woman @Donnaantoniadis: Consumer education is key to changing consumer behavior - #money2020 Bank Innovation @BankInnovation: Huge gap in customer awareness to be overcome to advance mobile payments @techmktggirl #money2020 Cherian Abraham @cherian_abraham: #Money2020 Banks & Google are positioned in a way to capture a lot of customer context and can deliver value if & when they make use of it.

But sometimes, maybe frequently, it's not dumb consumers. Sometimes the product just sucks. #money2020 D3 Banking @D3Banking: #money2020 How will mobile payments overcome the app apocalypse? Asking consumers to open multiple apps ultimately fails. Dun & Bradstreet @DnBUS: A4: Must have a value prop that resonates: what does this do that my card doesn't do today? #Money2020 Arnold Ochoa @a8a:I don't need different kinds of banknotes to buy in different places, why should I need a diff app to pay on different venues #money2020 PrairieCloudware @PrairieClouds: #money2020 Mobile payment apps are a failed strategy at least in the USA. Too many and too irritating to search through apps, find, use. John Muller @jmuller: @noyesclt makes the point: even with strong product, persuading consumers to change behavior is hard and slow. #money2020 Micah Bergdale @nycmacguy: @bytemarkinc processing millions of $ in mobile payments with ticketing.
