Payment systems have undergone a real revolution in recent years thanks to the development of the IOT and the widespread diffusion of mobile and fibre connections, introducing more and more innovative solutions to support our everyday life.
Dematerialised and secure payments
Payments with credit cards or physical cash cards seem obsolete compared to the many solutions offered by the market – mobile phones, watches, speakers and other smart objects can turn into tools for transmitting or receiving money. Because innovation involves both end-users and retailers, companies and digital service providers are constantly introducing new solutions, such as the increasingly popular Buy now pay later, to meet their customers’ needs.
Ease of use and speed of transactions cannot, in any case, be separated from ensuring high levels of security, protecting both the amounts transferred and the personal data of users. Over the years, processes have been refined and increasingly effective recognition systems have been created, based, for instance, on biometrics such as facial, voice and fingerprint recognition.
The webinar to discover the innovations taking place
In the ‘Pagamenti digitali: libera il tuo tempo e semplifica la tua vita’ (Digital Payments: free your time and simplify your life) webinar scheduled for Wednesday 21 September, the current developments and the many benefits for both individuals and the community will be illustrated with a look at the now near future, which is expected to be increasingly dematerialised.
