On 21-22 September 2017, APSCA will organise the 8th Asian Payment Card Forum in Mumbai. The forum is Asia’s largest gathering of card issuers and acquirers, domestic bank card networks, international payment systems, mobile payment companies and e-payment services providers that meet to explore best practices for driving the consumer payments landscape towards a digital payments future. The 8th Forum will be hosted by the National Payments Corporation
of India (NPCI) at the Lalit Hotel in Mumbai and will provide a unique learning, discussion and networking opportunity for experts in consumer payments and retail banking in Asia. Largest Market Opportunity for Digital Payments With a market of over 1.3 billion people and a rapidly developing economy that is largely cash-based, India represents one of the greatest opportunities for digital payments. This is the largest market where domestic and international payments stakeholders compete on equal terms while also co-operating where industry collaboration benefits all parties. The Forum will highlight how India is setting trends in payments that have global relevance. Cash - a challenge and an opportunity If the objective of the payments industry is to digitise cash transactions, then converting cash payments to electronic transactions in India might be the most difficult task and the greatest opportunity. According to a report from IMAP1 in 2015 cash made up 78% of total transactions in India (cf. 20-25% in developed economies). But future estimates of the total payments made through digital payments instruments could be in the range of US$500 billion2 by 2020.
India - Everything Happening in Payments Today Although a developing country dominated by cash transactions, India has already launched a broad range of both legacy as well as alternative electronic payments programs; From traditional payment cards to mobile wallets to instant payments to digital identity and financial inclusion, the market is unusual in that almost all the leading innovations and developments in payments that are taking place around the world are present in India today. Government Impact on Payments Innovation India’s broad range of e-payments initiatives are being driven by pragmatic and flexible regulatory approaches to driving “less cash” payments, and supported by innovative Government of India initiatives that are driving financial inclusion and digitisation. The regulator is mandating globally interoperable EMV-based payments and acceptance infrastructure while also encouraging new and innovative national payments standards and systems.

Mobile Internet and Digital Payments A key factor driving digital payments growth in India is the rapid adoption of connected smartphones which crossed 300 million3 users at the end of 2016 (significantly higher than the U.S.) and will exceed 700 million4 users by 2020. The number of unique active mobile wallet users is already triple2 the number of credit cards issued in India. By 2020 India will have 730 million3 Internet users with 175 million online shoppers, 75% of them using mobile devices.
Strategies for Multi-Tiered Payments Markets In common with other developing countries, India is a multi-tiered payments market with the smallest upper tier of affluent banked credit card customers, a rapidly growing middle class of debit card customers and the majority of the unbanked and recently banked citizens in the largest lower tier. But in contrast to other developing markets, Indian banks see potential customers for all payments products in every tier.
The 8th Asian Payment Card Forum is a unique opportunity for experts from the Indian consumer payments ecosystem to meet and discuss the roadmap for globally interoperable and national domestic payments with thought leaders from Asia Pacific and international markets.
Payment Card Technology Roadmap Developments in global and national standards driving the roadmap for chip payment cards, contactless payments and acceptance, mobile NFC payments. Next-generation EMV specifications for e-commerce, QR code-based payments, payment card tokenisation. The rise of instant (real-time) consumer payments. Succeeding with Contactless Payments Contactless payment card transactions and sales volume are exploding in some markets but lacklustre in others. What are the strategies that have proven to be successful in markets such as Australia where 70% of card payments are now contactless? Do these strategies translate to developing markets? Driving ePayments with Transport Payments Asian public transport ticketing schemes have used contactless AFC to create successful closed-loop contactless payment products. How can financial institutions use the opportunities for open-loop contactless transport payments to build low value payments business and drive e-payments adoption? Contactless Payments Potential for Smart Cities Asian cities have demonstrated the potential for contacts payments support a wide range of services in urban environments. How can municipal authorities, infrastructure and utility operators and commercial companies co-operate to develop contactless use cases that benefit customers and merchants? The Choices for Mobile Proximity Payments EMV card-based NFC mobile payments, including OEM-pay and HCE-based products, are making very slow progress in most markets. Mobile QR code-based payments are experiencing phenomenal growth in China but is this repeatable in India? Or was the recent uptick attributable only to demonetisation?
Alternative Consumer Payments Systems Aadhaar-based payments are a unique example of instant payments and alternative payment solutions that are developing globally. How will Aadhaar and other instant and alternative payment approaches fit with the card-based payments infrastructure being deployed under EMV specifications? Customer Education, Protection and Behaviour Change In today’s rapidly developing payments ecosystem with frequent launches of new and innovative payment card and mobile payment products, how can issuers ensure that customers (including cardholders and merchants) understand and adopt appropriate security practices? Authenticating Face-to-Face Transactions India’s payment card industry must complete EMV Chip and PIN migration by Q4 2018. What is the future of CVM@POS for card and mobile payments? Will PIN and biometric-based authentication co-exist? How should customers be authenticated for QR-code based payments? Fraud, Tokenisation and CNP Authentication Latest approaches to F2F and CNP payment card fraud. Single-use/multi-use tokens for authentication and protecting payment card data. How 3D Secure 2.0 with token-based and biometric authentication, supported by additional data during transactions, will enable risk-based decision-making. The Impact of Digital Payments Digital payments converges online and offline transactions and enables payments to be embedded in every connected device. Can the exploding growth of smartphones and connectivity reach enough citizens to become a game changer for consumer
