Payment is no longer distinguished as aseparate activity
• Payment customer relationship lost
• Payment becomes just a transfer of data
• Increasingly consistent payment experience
• Standardised payment data for all
Everyone acting as a merchant, look and feel of C2C and C2B converges
Choice of payment method moves from the seller to the buyer
• Deferred decisions on payment timeframe
• Data control switches from Seller to Buyer
Society becomes more open to sharing of assets and information
• Increased prevalence of leasing & renting
• Enabled by increased access to data
Real-time, smart decision based on internal and external data
• Greater customization of products & services
• Increased requirement for data
Smart and invisible data use is the common theme of the different elements
