A Case of 2 systems

The convenience of being able to access cash at an ATM or conduct a transaction at a POS terminal with a card clearly has an impact on economic growth.

The greater the volume of transactions, the lower the average cost per transaction.

Why Card Payments ?

A Typical Payment Process

A Card Payment Process

Iceland A Case Study:A majority of transactions in Iceland are made using payment cards, not cash.

Average cost of a cash txn = US $2.57Total cost of the cash system = US $18.5 million.

Average cost of a card txn = US $0.61The total cost of their card system = US $23.9 million.

Cash is 4 times higher than cash

Had Iceland used only cash it would have cost Iceland $100.69 million vs $23.9 million

An electronic payment system generally costs in the range of one-half to one-third of a paper-based system. This translates into a beneficial aggregate cost savings of at least 1% of GDP.

However there is a wide divergence in the rate of adoption of electronic payments. Customer Uptake is marginal

How can I drive

e-payment Adoption ?

(Financial Sector)

Yet, despite millions in potential savings, post tax benefits etc

consumer uptake remains marginal. Why is this?

Poor Uptake

Web payments are grossly impersonal Often requesting intimate details such as the

individual's card number, address, telephone number

This sole action puts many people off.

The simple fact is that people trust people, not computers.

Money motivates crime, divorce proceedings, sibling rivalries, murder and even war. People's

money is not a thing to be trifled with.

For this, many want the assurance of dealing with a human being trained to assure that

everything goes correctly

Trust enablement and education are the keys to driving consumer adoption

Trust

How can banks, and financial transfer institutions cultivate a bond of personal trust needed to increase mainstream

consumer adoption of electronic payments? 

Increase Trust

Reputation Systems

Feedback Forum: Remember the 5 stars ?

eBay, the predominant online auction house, •Buyer and seller have an opportunity to rate each other. •Rating can either comfort or alert a potential seller or buyer•The Forum enables usage and purchasing decisions

For Banks:Rate transactions on ATMS.Collect positive data start customer campaigns on the performance of your ATM servicesOffer 24hour arbitatrationStand outDevelop trust

Trust the interface Trust the Interface: Remember Mafia wars, Avatar, ok Spiderman, Superman ???

MIT Gestures and Narrative lab. are embarking on a study (1) • Verbal voice over do not necessarily engender more trust, but virtual people do. • Mimic human conversational techniques and non; verbal gaze, gestures to increase

trust and create a believable human interface - embodied conversational agents (ECAs).“

• Early results show that "in a myriad of subtle ways, users felt heard and as if the technology was adapting to them rather than the other way around." This mechanism can potentially be used to educate, advise and market to consumers.

Trust the Process PAINfully.

Privacy : Limits knowledge of a transaction's content to only those having a need to know.

Authentication: Authenticate all users in the value chain. In the real world, mutual trust is established through

a variety of familiar tokens and rituals (e.g., driver's licenses, familiar "face and place" settings, etc.), but the Internet offers card readers and one time only passwords use them.

Integrity: Ensure that the transaction has not been altered (except where specifically allowed) by thoseinvolved, by third-party attackers or by system errors 3 DES securtity, Site Verification etc. Non-repudiation: Prohibit disclaimers

Where Man Meets TechnologyIf consumers and businesses do not trust

or feel comfortable with exchanging or moving money over e-payment systems,

they won't do it. ]

To trust the process and the interface you need….

•Added security•Fault tolerant Hardware•Continuos Availability•Robust Operating systems•Databases that support high volume transactions•Value added Services
