With rates of card-not-present payment fraud continuing to grow higher every year, payment and data security has never been a higher priority for organizations. Protecting customer data is of utmost importance, especially with governments and regulatory bodies increasingly turning their attention to these issues and producing legislation to implore companies to take additional security measures. Contact centers are a part of the organization particularly fraught with responsibility, processing mountains of payments and finding themselves to be a favorite target for hackers and fraudsters. Because of this, contact centers face a myriad of laws and regulations governing the way they treat this data, such as the PCI DSS for those taking payments, and the recently passed California Consumer Privacy Act, among many others.

Register now for an insightful webinar where you'll learn:
- The top data security regulations, laws, and standards bodies affecting contact center data governance, like the California Consumer Privacy Act and the PCI DSS
- How to comply with sometimes competing regulatory requirements and resolve conflicting stipulations
- How to achieve compliance more simply and cost effectively

Payments have become such an important piece of merchant's strategies that Lyft even included a paragraph on payments in their S-1 filing (they must have some #paymentsgeeks working there). Merchants have an opportunity to reduce cost, increase conversions, and grow their business by optimizing their payments stack. But, as we know, payments can be confusing and create a lot of complexity for both consumers at checkout and merchants in their back office. Come listen to some of our favorite #paymentsgeeks teach you how to become one yourself, and learn why understanding payments is so important for your business.

Some questions we'll answer:
- Why should payments be top of mind for merchants?
- What are ways merchants can optimize payments to lower cost of transactions?
- How can payments become a competitive advantage for merchants?
- How are real-time payments going to affect merchant payment stacks?
- What are the newest trends in payments technology?

There is no doubt: the world is digital! And banking customers are changing their behaviour based on the experiences they have on their daily digital journey.

Nevertheless, today‘s customers adapt their expectations around digital applications based on the experience they have with leading social networks, global marketplaces, and their favourite online-stores. But it’s not only the adoption of new behaviours that are disrupting customers’ expectations. 67 per cent of the next generation’s banking customers will be digital natives.
