vadhri @vadhri: #money2020 square, PayPal and stripe keynotes were good
Danny Alpizar @drat717: Funny thing square CFO produce such a good impression, she didn’t show nothing new #money2020 #AmEx was the better for me
Cherian Abraham @cherian_abraham: #Money2020 – MCX panel was as predictable as the Kadarshian marriage. What did we all expect would happen?
Thomas Noyes @noyesclt: #money2020 MCX is NOT a shell… It is real o
Aaron McPherson @aaronmcpherson: @noyesclt Agree that MCX has made impressive progress – panel had a messaging issue. Where are the opportunities for #money2020 attendees?

vadhri @vadhri: #money2020 – demo by Loop – very impactful
Bank Innovation @BankInnovation: Loop was very cool, and the session poorly attended! RT @thinkpayments: #Money2020 Good morning! I thought loop was cool.
ngenuity Journal @ngenuityjournal: @BankInnovation Agree – they stood out to us too. Wasn’t fair to the LP360s to put them right after 7 long keynotes w/ no break. #Money2020
Scott Dueweke @Scott_Dueweke: Impressed by the Chinese and Russian energy behind alternative payments. Easy for us to think its all about us! #money2020
vadhri @vadhri: #money2020 any presentation with less slides more demo (need to see what is possible than visionary statements) is what is needed
Dave Birch @dgwbirch: #money2020 there is a long-term inexorable shift toward direct access to the funds
Dave Birch @dgwbirch: #money2020 maybe in a decade Visa/MC will be switching identity instead of payments
Jason A. Cobb @jasonacobb: What about the elephant in the room- offer fatigue? If offers are the driver to move from plastic & people are sick of offers… #money2020
Dun & Bradstreet @DnBUS: @jasonacobb Terrific pt. Encouraging consumers to define the offer types that interest them may help, but timing also important. #Money2020
PrairieCloudware @PrairieClouds: #money2020 skeptical of MCX as zombie apocalypse for Visa et al. Not easy to do what they are trying to do without committees/competitor
Thomas Noyes @noyesclt: #money2020 retailers are tired of playing by someone else’s rules… The are forming the NFL of retail.
Dave Birch @dgwbirch: #money2020 good point about the BRICs, who are all developing their own debit systems
Jim Marous @JimMarous: Given innovations by big players, no more standing on sideline. Need to place payments solution bets. #paymentsroulette #Money2020
David W Pipe @DavidWPipe: China mobile commerce will explode as 3rd/4th tier cities come online, while so many players are only focused on the US market. #money2020
Cherian Abraham @cherian_abraham::#Money2020 – MCX is treasury groups leading the efforts. Without Marketing involvement, the customer value prop will be missing
Sam Maule @sammaule: So the morning TwitterChat jumps right into #MCX – as Tom Noyes put it – MCX is real. Might take 5 yrs but it is real.#money2020
Thomas Noyes @noyesclt: #money2020 MCX addresses loyalty by agreeing every retailer is different. They can support unique loyalty services in a common way
Jason A. Cobb @jasonacobb: Big innovation coming up will be more focused on access to banking 4 under served & to payments & credit for starting businesses. #Money2020
Dun & Bradstreet @DnBUS: @jasonacobb Definitely an area for startups…and also for traditional finserv players (via acquisitions). #Money2020
Sara Abernethy @saritasla: @jasonacobb @money2020 Agreed. Big data needs to be about creating experiences. Sole focus on offers is a race to the bottom. #money2020
Question 2 Bank of America @BofA_News: Q2: What has been your biggest takeaway from #money2020?
Jim Marous @JimMarous: A2: Takeaway – #NFC was declared dead . . . again, and again, and again #Money2020
James Wester @jameswester: You can keep saying “it’s not about payments,” but you still have to do payments flawlessly. That’s not a parlor trick #money2020
Paul F. Doyle @pfdvv: @BofA_News biggest take away…the people, the connections, the meetings #money2020
Thomas Noyes @noyesclt: #money2020 this event is the best networking event I’ve ever attended.. Fantastic.
Elizabeth Dias @techmktggirl: A2: In the words of Sinatra, “the best is yet to come” w/ #Payments yet Q’s still remain (strategy, fintech, penetration). #money2020
Dave Birch @dgwbirch: #money2020 a2 I think it’s too big this year! It’s hard to fit in all of the meetings and still see some of the sessions
Aaron McPherson @aaronmcpherson: A2: Presenters playing it safer this year #money2020
PrairieCloudware @PrairieClouds: #money2020 Biggest takeaway is the networking done. Would come again for that alone.
David W Pipe @DavidWPipe: A2: Too many players still trying to solve payment – while payment isn’t broken. It’s about solving other problems. #money2020
Adam Snyder @snyderstrategy: A2: In the words of Sinatra, “the best is yet to come” w/ #Payments yet Q’s still remain (strategy fintech penetration) #money2020
James Ray @Rockhopper08: A2: #Money2020 insights? Consumers aren’t seeking to “pay” for transactions, they are seeking to transact. Payments are ancillary.
Jim Marous @JimMarous: A2: Takeaway – Conference proved that among more than 4000 #fintech followers, nobody has all the answers #Money2020
Paul F. Doyle @pfdvv: It is TOO Big? Yes, this was said today in Vegas…but it is about the conference, not what you might imagine #money2020
Norman Guadagno @ThinkTone: My biggest disappointment with #Money2020 was not enough bling. Needed more gold $ necklaces. Oh, and that consumers are still confused.
ngenuity Journal @ngenuityjournal: @dgwbirch compares #money2020 to SXSW’s growth — need to make sure the media presence and corporatism doesn’t overshadow authentic convos
Kevin Boglarsky @kmbx2ind: #money2020A2. Size of the event might have exceeded a comfortable size. Both in number of sessions and keynotesmore time for networking
Jim Marous @JimMarous: A2: Size of event dictated by size of challenge and opportunity in payments today. I wish I could have added one more. #Money2020
Xenophon Dimopoulos @XenophonD: A2: My takeaway is simple, if your business is in emerging payments and financial services, you should attend #money2020
Dave Birch @dgwbirch: #money2020 there’s a limit to what the technologists can do in payments, there are regulatory contexts that need to be shifted
Sam Maule @sammaule: There are structural and regulatory blockers inhibiting major innovation in payments. Good point from @dgwbirch #money2020
Paul F. Doyle @pfdvv: Point about regulators preventing banks from innovation…very good point #money2020
Digital Retail Apps @digitalretail: A2: shopping and paying flow will be seamless & integrated – not disjointed as it is today #Money2020
Social Network Woman @Donnaantoniadis: I was impressed with @AmericanExpress and their @serve product #Money2020
Question 3 Bank of America @BofA_News: Q3: What does the shopper of the future look like? #Money2020
Jim Marous @JimMarous: A3: Shopper is no longer a follower, but is leading the charge with a mobile-first mentality. We need to keep up. #Money2020
Cherian Abraham @cherian_abraham: #Money2020 – Paypal defaulting to Bill Me Later as funding source in app was smart, towards building a compelling merchant value prop.
Cherian Abraham @cherian_abraham: #Money2020 – Paypal knows how to manage risk, sometimes at the expense of cust experience. Bill Me Later is Paypal finetuning its economics
Aaron McPherson @aaronmcpherson: A3: Shopper of the future will have vast information (some of it false) – challenge is going to be to penetrate the cloud #money2020
David W Pipe @DavidWPipe: A3: Shopper of the future will expect identical, seamless experience across all channels – at warp speed. #money2020
Thomas Noyes @noyesclt: #money2020 consumers and merchants will migrate toward value… Payments will evolve to dumb pipes… Something that should work.. Value
Elizabeth Dias @techmktggirl: A3: I use the term “omnichannel shopper”: digital, frictionless #CX, value & meaningful engagement during commerce exp. #money2020
Dave Birch @dgwbirch: #money2020 i do think that payments will begin to vanish from the consumer shopping experience
Perficient Fin Serv @Perficient_FS: @dgwbirch Agreed, it’s all about putting it in context for the consumer or biz. #money2020
Kevin Boglarsky @kmbx2ind: #money2020 Q3. They will be more connected via apps and expectations for payments will be higher. Behind the scenes but easier
D3 Banking @D3Banking: #money2020 consumer of the future will be like consumer of today. Convenience, choice and security will direct their behavior.
Dave Birch @dgwbirch: .@aaronmcpherson visa/MC could switch merchant identities too and therefore anchor distributed reputation management #money2020
Thomas Noyes @noyesclt: #money2020 banks and V/MA are NOT the center of commerce.. They should work to support it. Few large companies excel at helping others
Bank of America @BofA_News: A3: Connected. Informed. Having an abundance of choices. ^fs #Money2020
Dun & Bradstreet @DnBUS: High expectations: “Know me”–very location & platform. RT @BofA_News A3: Connected. Informed. Having an abundance of choices. #Money2020
D3 Banking @D3Banking: #money2020 consumer of the future will more and more expect FIs to behave as retailers. This is not good news for many FIs.
Thomas Noyes @noyesclt: #money2020 networks are hard to change. They were formed around an existing value proposition… Agreement… Revenue shares… Rules..
David W Pipe @DavidWPipe: A3: I also believe any solution that tries to dis-intermediate the banks is doomed to failure. #money2020
Bank of America @BofA_News: A3: Expects simple, seamless experiences across channels and more personalized, relevant propositions. ^fs #money2020
Thomas Noyes @noyesclt: #money2020 new networks are forming and most see them though the lens of what we have today (we do that already). The basis of competition
Kevin Boglarsky @kmbx2ind: #money2020Discover, Am, v & McCoy need to facilitate commerce. Not just payments. There are Benefits in using safe secure infrastructure
Thomas Noyes @noyesclt: #money2020 value proposition is changing.. Consumer trust is not locked in a bank… Just as commerce value is not locked in a card
Bank of America @BofA_News: A3: Data is nothing without insight and analysis. ^fs #Money2020
James Ray @Rockhopper08: A3: Future consumers will be better informed and more efficient, with higher expectations; Payments akin to electricity – utility #Money2020
Dun & Bradstreet @DnBUS: A3: Future shoppers will expect a seamless navigation btwn digital & physical. #Money2020
D3 Banking @D3Banking: Nowhere is the gap between FIs and retailers greater when it comes to serving the consumer than in how data is used.
Paul F. Doyle @pfdvv: What about B2B? …are we, as an industry giving enough attention to B2B payments at this event? Me think, not! #money2020
Elizabeth Dias @techmktggirl: “@Apple may very well be the leader when it comes to mobile commerce.” #money2020
David W Pipe @DavidWPipe: A3: Secure payment will become nothing more than a hygiene factor as solutions focus on other issues. #money2020
Bank Innovation @BankInnovation: Apple, again the elephant in the room #money2020
Dun & Bradstreet @DnBUS: A3: Retailers will have to battle for shoppers’ mental space as they seek to reduce irrelevant offers. #Money2020
Thomas Noyes @noyesclt: #money2020 why isn’t Apple doing more in payments? They have so much opportunity. They care about great consumer experiences
Aaron McPherson @aaronmcpherson: @noyesclt I used to think Apple had a master plan, but now I wonder if they just have bad management. #money2020
Micah Bergdale @nycmacguy: @aaronmcpherson @noyesclt Apple getting into traditional payments would be a divergence of strategy & is not who they want to be #money2020
Aaron McPherson @aaronmcpherson: @noyesclt @nycmacguy Agreed, but I worry that they’re missing the window. #money2020
Jason A. Cobb @jasonacobb: Excellent point, Apple & Google occupy the same mental space as MS and IBM did in the past as the big bullies. #Money2020
Dun & Bradstreet @DnBUS: And analysis is nothing w/out the right ?s. RT @BofA_News: A3: Data is nothing without insight & analysis. ^fs #Money2020 #Money2020
Scott Dueweke @Scott_Dueweke: The aging of the population will force mobile into the mainstream, I believe….#money2020
Question 4 Bank of America @BofA_News: Q4: What will it take for mobile payments to become truly mainstream? #Money2020
Elizabeth Dias @techmktggirl: A4: Relevant context around payment exp itself, and creating “openness” with apps & services that solve a true cust problem. #money2020
Jim Marous @JimMarous: A4: #Mobile pymnts need perceived security, ease of use and guarantees of cards. Authentication solution = Tipping point #Money2020
James Ray @Rockhopper08: A4: Mobile payments will become mainstream when “open architecture” permits coexistence – no walled gardens! #Money2020
Paul F. Doyle @pfdvv: Mobile payments becoming mainstream is a function of time avid famiiariyh…and consolidation of methods #money2020
Social Network Woman @Donnaantoniadis: So difficult to change consumer behavior – #money2020
Micah Bergdale @nycmacguy: Juniper Research: mobile ticketing, specifically transport, will drive adoption of mobile payments. We are seeing that in the US #money2020
Arnold Ochoa @a8a: In order to become mainstream mobile payments must be ubiquitous, convenient and add value to current payment methods #money2020
PrairieCloudware @PrairieClouds: Mobile payments tech in its current state is still a solution looking for a problem. Cards are simple, fast and secure enough.
Jim Marous @JimMarous: A4: #Mobile Pymnts Mainstream: Friction needs to be eliminated for the merchant, the consumer and the bank #Money2020
Aaron McPherson @aaronmcpherson: Q4: when will mobile payments be mainstream? A4: in digital media, it already is. #money2020
Lanny Byers @lannybyers: Dave Birch at the BofA chat says mobile app is not about payment but about the experience. I agree! #money2020 @chyppings @BofA_News
Thomas Noyes @noyesclt: #money2020 mobile pos pmts are dependent on value… And changing consumer behavior. Apple has highest trust to change behavior
Bank of America @BofA_News: A4: Simpler, faster, secure & more value-add for the shopper & economically beneficial for merchants & financial institutions ^fs #money2020
Kevin Boglarsky @kmbx2ind: #money2020 Mobile going mainstream: have to remove a pain point for consumer or remove friction is a process. Value for the consumer?
Sam Maule @sammaule: Technology impacts payments. Visa’s CMO on payments strategy “We design around the flick”. #money2020
Bank of America @BofA_News: A4: When we have a business model that retailers and banks can get behind… ^fs #money2020
JamesRonca @jamesronca: Mobile payments will be mainstream when they are as easy and convenient as pulling a card from your wallet. #Money2020
Dun & Bradstreet @DnBUS: A4: For mobile payments to go mainstream, need cooperation among the mobile carriers, merchants & financial institutions. #Money2020
Jim Marous @JimMarous: A4: ‘Simple’ is the new black with mobile. Mobile payments become mainstream when all processes are streamlined. #Money2020
Cherian Abraham @cherian_abraham: #Money2020 – To deliver customer value, one needs context..and lots of it. Which is what makes Banks and Google for example irreplaceable.
Sara Abernethy @saritasla: Mobile payment alone does not change the process of checkout in retail. Shopper still waits in line with existing wallets. #money2020
Bank of America @BofA_News: A4: AND there is a compelling enough use case to incent customers to change their behavior (beyond the payment) ^fs #money2020
Bank of America @BofA_News: For mobile payments to succeed they need to be universally accepted. ^fs #money2020
Social Network Woman @Donnaantoniadis: Consumer education is key to changing consumer behavior – #money2020
Bank Innovation @BankInnovation: Huge gap in customer awareness to be overcome to advance mobile payments @techmktggirl #money2020
Cherian Abraham @cherian_abraham: #Money2020 Banks & Google are positioned in a way to capture a lot of customer context and can deliver value if & when they make useof it.
Paul F. Doyle @pfdvv: If I have to think about the payment instead about the purchase, then there is a big problem with the payment system #money2020
James Wester @jameswester: Educating consumers IS important. But sometimes, maybe frequently, it’s not dumb consumers. Sometimes the product just sucks. #money2020
D3 Banking @D3Banking: #money2020 How will mobile payments overcome the app apocalypse? Asking consumers to open multiple apps ultimately fails.
Dun & Bradstreet @DnBUS: A4: Must have a value prop that resonates: what does this do that my card doesn’t do today? #Money2020
Arnold Ochoa @a8a:I don’t need different kinds of banknotes to buy in different places, why should I need a diff app to pay on different venues #money2020
PrairieCloudware @PrairieClouds: #money2020 Mobile payment apps are a failed strategy at least in the USA. Too many and too irritating to search through apps, find, use.
John Muller @jmuller: @noyesclt makes the point: even with strong product, persuading consumers to change behavior is hard and slow. #money2020
Micah Bergdale @nycmacguy: @bytemarkinc processing millions of $ in mobile payments with ticketing. Amazing we are doing more than Isis & PayPal/HomeDepot #money2020
Bank of America @BofA_News: Thanks to everyone who got up early here in Vegas to join the #Money2020 Future of Payments Innovation chat.
