How do you stay relevant in a multi-wallet world? 

As mobile wallets and proximity payments evolve, banks face a pivotal challenge: own the interface or become invisible. With PSD3 and the Payment Services Regulation (PSR) on the horizon, new models like Tap to Pay by Account are no longer niche, they’re defining the future of in-store payments. 

In this 70-minute webinar, we explore how leading European players are shaping the next wave of payment experiences, and what that means for banks across the Benelux and beyond. 

This session will equip you with answers to questions like: 

  • What does Tap to Pay by Account mean for customer journeys? 
  • How do wallet ecosystems and NFC innovations disrupt traditional POS strategies? 
  • What regulatory shifts (PSD3, PSR) must banks anticipate now? 
  • How can financial institutions remain visible and trusted in third-party wallets? 

Speakers:

  • Ludovic FRANCESCONI 
    Chief Member & Strategy Officer, EPI WERO 
  • Philippe LEDRU 
    VP Sales Europe, IDEMIA 
  • Christian PIRKNER 
    CEO, Bluecode 
  • Bjorn SKJELBRED 
    SVP International Business Development, VIPPS MobilePay 
  • Moderator: Guillaume YRIBARREN 
    Consulting Managing Director, Galitt (Sopra Steria Group)
