Karen Webster highlights the most interesting things she heard firsthand this week through her own conversations with the top innovators in payments, or from original PYMNTS Intelligence data. Give her post a look. We think you'll be glad you did.
I talk to a lot of interesting people every week who are changing the world in very different ways. Some of them are using payments, some use data and new technologies, including GenAI to rethink the status quo. Others have a business model twist on an old favorite. Then there is the research that PYMNTS Intelligence does that shed new light on how consumers and business participate in the digital economy. So here are a few highlights of some of those moments this week. In no particular order. 1. Ingo Payments' Drew Edwards & I take a look through a regulatory lens at 2024’s transformative payments landscape, and, in his words, “My hope is that it doesn’t spoil what’s in the soup; the market is asking for the soup". Who doesn’t like soup? https://lnkd.in/ejxaGd39 2. Vitamins or Aspirin, and why Pismo - just two bits of the unscripted conversation that I had with Visa's Antony Cahill on Visa’s Value Added Services playbook and what’s next. Read the recap of our chat here: https://lnkd.in/eWnXMKiu 3. How do you really know a business? Especially the small ones? Markaaz's Hany Fam tells me the answer to that question lies in cleaner, "credible data," which will soon lead to real-time analysis and monitoring, creating a “dramatic streamlining” of how enterprises identify businesses they will work with — and how they verify and onboard them: https://lnkd.in/epTn2MQd 4. Digital wallets are so much more than payments except US consumers don’t see them that way, at least not yet. What’s up with that? PYMNTS Intelligence's Digital Wallets Beyond Financial Transactions: U.S. Edition, a collab w/ Google Wallet, uses a lot of original data and compelling insights on the digital wallet usage and future opportunities for nontransactional applications: https://lnkd.in/eZkc7vu4 5. I had an inspiring conversation Color’s Othman Laraki about how Gen AI can transform cancer patients’ access to treatment by using GPT-4o to help doctors whose "expertise is very scarce" match treatment protocol to cancer diagnosis. As a 23-year cancer survivor myself it gave me the chills. https://lnkd.in/evKPH8NB Then, of course, there’s my take on the Amazon/Saks Global tie up. Who needs who more, I thought when I first read the news. Here’s how I break it down: https://lnkd.in/eZardqRM Have a great weekend! Karen
