INNOVATION IN PAYMENTS: How Data, the Cloud, Mobile Devices & Smart Card Technology Will Drive Innovation David S. Evans November 4, 2008
Payments are in for some rough times
The payments industry has underperformed
Credit card lenders are sure to suffer more
In grim times, it always gets better
Income has steadily risen, despite bumps in the road
It always looks terrifying at the bottom
Strength comes from weathering storms
So, innovate for the long run
The future of payments innovation
Change is in the air, but will it really occur?
