East Coast CIO Forum
Virtual Event with Paolo Pelizzoli
Tuesday, December 8, 2020
Hi All:
We are happy to announce our next Guest Speaker, Paolo Pelizzoli, EVP and COO of International Real Time Payments for Mastercard. Paolo will be discussing “How countries have adjusted their payments strategies due to Covid-19 and the implications”. This virtual event is scheduled for Tuesday, December 8th at 1:00pm EST. Registration to this upcoming virtual East Coast CIO Forum is now in open. Please respond to this e-mail if you wish to register.
Meeting Agenda:
The world economies have been going cashless for some time. Digital currencies and world politics are eroding the US Dollar as the world’s reserve currency. It has never been easier to bank/trade on-line, move money internationally, and make peer-to-peer transactions. Covid-19 is not responsible for these trends, but out of necessity, real time payments have been fully embraced. Just as the pandemic has normalized digital conferencing with Zoom, so too with real-time payments. People are demanding it.
What do these trends mean for us? What should you be doing to take advantage of them?
Topic: Money isn’t what it used to be! Covid, payments and technology:
- The demise of cash
- Apps like Zelle and Venmo have been growing in popularity but during the pandemic, these P2P systems became lifesavers for consumers and gig workers following stay-at-home mandates- What new opportunities were the effect of COVID & the sudden pivot of the economy?
- Consumer expectations
- Data & Consumer protections
- Crypto/Digital Currencies and impact
- As a result of technology, what additional data fields can be transmitted with the payment?
- Who are the big players in the real time payment space? The technologies that impact payments and their implications
- What’s ahead in the Rapid payment space? 1-5 year prediction?
Looking forward to seeing you all at the upcoming event!
