Transcript | Exploring an evolving payments landscape with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia
In brief
- "Based on industry data, more than 30% of Australians have been using mobile wallets when they make payments instore. As compared to US, that’s 1.7% and for Germany at 6.1%, and I see that trend continue to grow."
- "Banks have a large and trusting customer base and extensive in-person and digital distribution network, which provides a strong starting point for gaining scale with payments innovation. But the growth of non-bank disruptors proves that customers are willing to switch for convenience, lower cost, and other personalised benefits that help them to achieve specific tasks."
- "Banks have built a lot of payments infrastructure and we are the primary participants, but we also need to ensure the regulatory settings are also capturing the new entrants or new participants in order to maintain ongoing safety and security and trust in the payment’s ecosystem."
In the VISION by Protiviti podcast, Susan Yang, General Manager, International Payments and Network Management at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, sits down with a pair of Protiviti payments experts to discuss how she and her team are leading the ISO 20022 program and the digital international money transfer (IMT) strategy execution for CBA.
