Leeds based Digital Transformation company Answer Digital are hosting a breakfast event on the 6th of February, with an impressive line-up of speakers, discussing how initiatives such as Real time payments, Blockchain, Mobile technology and Open Banking impact different sectors. The panel of payments professionals will be asked whether organisations are equipped to take advantage of the commercial gains that can be realised through new payments initiatives driven by technology.
The panel includes Mounir Mouawad – Head of Strategy at Google Pay, Anne Pieckielon – Director of Product and Strategy at Bacs and Ian Rutland – Chief Operating Officer at Optomany.
Discussions will be led by Imran Ali, Payments Managing Principal at Answer Digital, who will be sharing his findings from a new White Paper, The Impact of the Changing Payments Landscape on Multiple Sectors. The white paper includes data from over 200 professionals on payments initiatives, combined with qualitative research with payments leaders from The Post Office, HelloFresh, Google Pay and others, to give a true reflection of how different sectors are approaching the shifting payments landscape.
