Enabling digital – and instant – payments to provide seamless experiences
Next June 30th, Jacques Pütz, CEO of LUXHUB, will take the stage at ICT Spring. As one of the main speakers of the Fintech-themed conference, he will focus on the newest digital payments solutions that are now available in the fast-emerging Open Banking era. Today, he discusses the new needs of consumers and companies, as well as the advantages of account-to-account payment solutions, and finally shares some of the most concrete PIS (Payment Initiation Services) use-cases.
The current context of profound digital transformation as well as recent and unforeseen events such as the Covid-19 pandemic are impacting the way people behave, consume…and pay.
“We see an unprecedented demand for innovation and digital products, with today’s generation always looking for accessible, embedded and easy-to-use solutions. To retain their existing customers and attract others, companies need to reinvent themselves, from their business model(s) and products to the added value they bring and the experience they offer,” starts Jacques Pütz.
As explained, payment is no exception: digital solutions are flourishing as the overall number of transactions keeps on growing. Providing innovative solutions has therefore become crucial for companies that want to keep surfing the digital wave. Additionally, the European Commission recently reaffirmed its ambition to turn the EU into a leader in the payments industry by pushing for initiatives building up on PSD2 momentum, such as instant payments.
Payment Initiation Services: a central pillar of Open Banking
The LUXHUB journey started with a focus on compliance products, seen as the cornerstone of Open Banking, that are now enabling the financial services industry, as well as non-regulated entities to transform and/or offer innovative services through unique and seamless experiences, for the benefit of their end-customers.
The ambition was always to provide deeper innovations and notably to enable all companies, whether they be regulated or not, to enter the world of Open Banking, and leverage its limitless potential
