Over the past year, we’ve seen a number of changes that have impacted the ways in-app payments function, specifically within Europe and Asia. These changes have improved flexibility, and now there are more choices than ever when it comes to paying for in-app purchases such as digital goods, subscriptions and in-game currencies.

In the past, developers & publishers had to follow strict storefront policies and were limited in creativity. On top of a strict guideline, each transaction would be charged with a flat 30% service fee. There are big opportunities in optimising and reducing processing fees to 3 - 4%. This represents a real opportunity for revenue teams. However, awareness about the changes in rules and regulations is low.

Join us in this session as we discuss:

-  An overview of the rule changes, and what this could mean for developers
-  The benefits of new in-app payments
-  The value of a fully customizable experience
-  Challenges in implementation, and how to build your roadmap
-  Debunking misconceptions about third-party payment solutions
-  And much more!

Understanding New In-App Payment Regulations for Better Reach

COVID-19 has been a catalyst for accelerating the growth of digital commerce and digital payment in recent years. Since the pandemic, shopping habits have changed, as has the opportunity for businesses to expand their online reach.

To keep up with the pace of change, many leading international merchants have rethought their growth and expansion strategies to focus on high-growth/high-potential markets. These markets, for example those in Latin America and Asia, possess e-commerce growth rates that significantly outpace that of traditional markets, US and Europe. However, regulations present challenges to enter a new geography. Inflation, currency control, taxation, protective governmental restrictions will complicate their outlook. Technology and understanding customer preferences, further add to the barriers for entering new geographies.

In this webinar, we will unlock the answers to key questions online businesses are faced with when developing a successful long term expansion strategy such as:

What are the drivers and enablers for the boom of cross-border e-commerce?

What are the challenges of cross-border e-commerce in high growth markets?

Breaking Down Borders: 4 Strategies for a Smooth Global Expansion

The world of payments is no stranger to fraud. In fact, according to the European Central Bank, the total value of fraudulent transactions within Europe annually amounts to a whopping €1.8 billion. Merchants understand this risk, but knowing how to overcome it when fraudsters behave so differently across different verticals can be a difficult task. Understanding how fraudsters behave and gaining insight into key trends within the payment ecosystem is vital. But where do merchants go to find this insight?

With the stakes so high, fraud protection is a business must-have - and data is key to unlocking its potential.

Businesses must find a solution that both provides data insights into key trends within the space, while also empowering your business without impacting legitimate consumers.

Join us in this session as we discuss:

- The impact of fraud on the payment industry
- Using data to determine trends, and why understanding an understanding of key trends is so crucial
- What to look for in a fraud protection solution
- The value of a Microsoft/Worldline dataset
- Fraud across different verticals, and why an understanding of how fraud behaves universally is important
- How data can fuel machine learning algorithms to detect and protect against fraud
- And much more!

Overcoming Payment Fraud: Can Data Save the Day?

Securing a loan is often a headache for both customers and vendors. Each country has its own credit process, and many companies use outdated verification methods that involve heaps of paperwork. This leads to a mountain of documents for customers to fill out, and lenders to sort through. This often still ends with an incomplete and inaccurate picture of a customer’s finances.  

In an era where automation and data are transforming the financial industry, putting up with the flaws of older processes is no longer necessary. Open banking and data analysis can simplify the customer and lender journey - arriving at a loan approval faster, and with a complete picture of a customer’s credit history. This lowers risk for lenders, who are able to make more informed decisions, while reducing the administrative burden on consumers who are looking to secure the loan.  

In Worldline’s ‘Bringing Credit Checking into the Modern World,’ we’ll explore how open banking solutions are making lenders' lives easier, reducing the risk of fraud, and removing one of the most common pain points consumers feel when in the lending space.  

 Join us to dive into:  

-  How credit analysis differs across countries and companies, and the pitfalls in this scattered space 
-  The ways open banking and data instantly provide a highly accurate view of a consumer’s creditworthiness 
-  How these technologies shorten and improve a consumer’s journey from loan application to approval 
-  And more

Bringing Credit Checking into the Modern World

The way that we communicate and engage with one another is constantly evolving. This is as true when it comes to your customers, as it is when it comes to your friends and family. In the past few years, customers have moved away from SMS and emails, and towards messaging apps. With over 2.4 billion users, WhatsApp is clearly doing something right. According to recent research, 71% of customers felt more confident after messaging a business on WhatsApp. 

Is it time for businesses to relocate to where their customers are? To move away from slow websites, and towards a platform that already has over 2 billion users worldwide? As we enter a new era of conversations, and client expectations shift, what potential does WhatsApp bring to your business? 

The first step to leveraging this potential is understanding how to make the transformation. A seamless digital experience is key. But what does this actually mean? How can you achieve a clean transformation, and what is the first step businesses should take? 

Join us as we discuss: 

-  The benefits of WhatsApp to your customer experience 
-  What the new era of conversation will mean for businesses around the world
-  How to navigate the new age of client communication, and stay ahead of the curve 
-  Why first-class client communication is the first step to excellent customer experience
