International Payments Summit

What Happened at IPS 2009

IPS 2009 was voted a resounding success by the 400+ senior level payments executives who attended. The challenges created by the global financial crisis led to truly in-depth industry dialogue and more intensive networking than ever before. 110+ leading industry names came together to address such key topics as:

 What the recent global economic upheaval will mean for payments and transaction services
 Why it is critical than banks now make choices about their payments business models
 Why the key players in transaction banking view payments as a critical business stream
 Collaboration between industry players to create value and enhance client service
 The likely impact of an increasingly onerous regulatory regime
 How operational risks in payments should be managed in a changed world
 What corporate clients really want now from their payments providers in the new financial landscape
 Why financial supply chain stability has never mattered more and how to help corporate clients optimise working capital
 Will SEPA and the Payment Services Directive open the doors to more innovative payments solutions?
 The new commercial opportunities in payments: new channels; new business models; new revenue streams
