Companies across industries are struggling with the challenge of complying with an ever-evolving regulatory landscape.

In order to thrive, you must stay ahead of upcoming regulatory changes, efficiently adapt your cross-organizational strategy and educate key stakeholders about the impact of those changes. 

In the ecommerce and payments world, complying with the Second Payment Securities Directive (PSD2) requires numerous actions – many of which could impact the way that key stakeholders interact with the business. 

In episode three of Checkout.com’s series Embracing Changing Trends in Connected Payments: Thriving in the Post-Pandemic Ecosystem, we’ll look at the impact of the PSD2 and other regulations on merchants. And we’ll explore the organizational and strategic changes businesses need to make to remain compliant.

Join Checkout.com and a panel of PSD2 experts as they explore:

- Best practices and resources for how you can ensure you’re fully prepared and setting yourself  up for payment regulation success
- How your organization can tackle regulatory change and adapt without compliance impacting your bottom-line
- How to educate key stakeholders – including customers – about the impact new regulations will have on their interactions with your organization

[Ep.3] Thriving in the Evolving Regulatory Landscape: Navigating PSD2 in Europe

In many regions demographic diversity such as wealth, religion, nationality, gender and age all have an impact on payment and shopping behaviours. For the modern merchant, this can make keeping online payments connected across various geographies, languages and currencies tricky. But with sensitivity to local nuance around payments and ecommerce shopping behaviours vital for customer acquisition and retention, possessing the ability to act locally whilst operating globally is non-negotiable for online merchants. Never has this been more important than during and post-pandemic when payment behaviour has significantly shifted.

In episode 2 of Checkout.com’s Embracing Changing Trends in Connected Payments: Thriving in the Post-Pandemic Ecosystem, we’re looking at how merchants and payment providers can react to these shifts by providing regional, tailored payment methods such as local cards, Alternative Payment Models (APMs) and digital wallets. Join Checkout.com and a panel of connected payments experts as they explore these methods and:

- The essential existing and emerging local nuances in regions such as North America, Europe, MENAP and APAC that payment providers need to know - and why
- How to create exceptional Customer Experiences by embracing new nuances 
- Best practices for providing and optimising accessible connected payments at a local and regional level
- What the foundations of an effective, local payment partnership look like in different regions - strategically and technologically 
- And more

[Ep.2] Going Global Whilst Staying Local: Embracing Nuance in Connected Payments

COVID has impacted many facets of consumer behaviour globally - notably the way in which people shop. Many stores across the globe have been forced to close and there are concerns about the risk of increased transmissions of the virus during cash payments. As such, the pandemic has proven to be a catalyst for a massive global change in payments and ecommerce.

This change is as true in regions such as the Middle East, North Africa and Pakistan that traditionally favour in-store shopping and Cash on Delivery as it is in regions such as North America and Europe where eCommerce was already a heavily adopted way of shopping. Across the board, it’s safe to say that right now is the inflection point for payments: we’re in a new world where payments can give merchants the competitive advantage.

With Accenture expecting that as a result nearly 420 billion global transactions worth $7 trillion will shift from cash to cards and digital payments by 2023, and increase to $48 trillion by 2030, it’s time to dig deeper into what many are calling the ‘payments revolution’. In ep.1 of Embracing Changing Trends in Connected Payments: Thriving in the Post-Pandemic Ecosystem, Checkout brings together connected payment experts to explore the trends driving this global revolution, and to share how merchants can set out to unlock the power of connected payments.

Join us to hear:
- Key takeaways online merchants & payment providers must know about the impact 
- COVID-19 has had on payment trends both globally and in specific regions
- The latest consumer behaviours that will inform your payments ecosystem, infrastructure and strategies going forward
- How a complete, granular picture of your connected payments can help you access instant, accurate and flexible payments insights that can drive business growth

For legacy and challenger banks, wealth managers, insurers, and payment providers, the customer experience is a critical element in winning new customers. It matters more than trust now, and tech companies outside of the financial services sector are increasingly setting standards for good customer experiences. In fact, a good customer experience increases account registration by up to 45%. By focusing on putting the customer experience first in product development, it is possible to drive competitive growth and win in the marketplace. 

But, a good customer experience is not just limited to customer-facing brands. Both front-end and back-end technology must be considered, too. From a smooth on-boarding process, KYC/AML, and fraud prevention, understanding what makes the best experience is what can stand between success and failure for banks, wealth managers, payment providers, and others. What will it take to win? 

Professionals at banks, wealth managers, payment providers, and other fintechs will benefit from viewing this webinar as it will dive into: 
- The elements of a effective customer experience and user interface
- Where does the user experience fit into the customer experience
- What is at stake with a poor user experience? 
- Can the customer experience assist a customer's wealth creation? 
- What back-end processes require the most attention?
