30. TOP 5 TRENDS FOR DIGITAL PAYMENTS IN 2020
- Kaushik Roy
The convergence of finance and technology gave rise to ‘FinTech’, and digital payments have been one of its
primary drivers. Technology has always been a keystone to the evolution of the banking and financial services
sector, as it continuously revolutionized the way the financial services were conceptualized, regulated,
disseminated, and consumed. However, the last few years witnessed technology emerging from the backroom
and taking center-stage alongside financial services. The convergence gave birth to the ‘FinTech’ movement, and
digital payments have been one of its primary drivers.
Here are the five key technology trends that we expect to shape the digital payments landscape in 2020.
1. The hyper-connected world.
2. Indian banking will experience significant disruption with consolidations.
3. The digital disruption of POS – the impact of ecommerce.
4. Regulators will turn digital.
5. Cybersecurity and RPA will focus primarily on fraud prevention & detection.

33. ADVANTAGE CAPTIVES AS GLOBAL FINANCIAL
FIRMS MOVE CORE TECH WORK IN-HOUSE
- Tech ET
More than 78 global banking and financial services companies, including Goldman Sachs,
Deutsche Bank, JP Morgan and Standard Chartered, have set up captive units here that employ a
combined 250,000 people.
Indian IT firms have seen global clients take back outsourced work to own centres as they see
technology impacting their business. Global firms also want to keep data of customers in-house,
since they view it as central to their business strategy.
Financial services firms have begun to insource a lot of work, with their India centres forming a
key part of that strategy, said Anand Subramaniam, associate director, Zinnov.
“There been an overflow of insourcing with the global centres, including India, picking up more
work in areas such as analytics and cloud. One reason is that you need to go to market faster,
doing more end-to-end work inhouse and integrating technology and operations...,” he said.
34. CASH REMAINS KING, HINDERS INDIA'S MOVE TO
DIGITAL ECONOMY
- Businesstoday
Central bank data shows that since the controversial demonetization gambit, currency in circulation has grown,
rising 17% to 21.1 trillion rupees ($295.7 billion) as of the end of March 2019.
For many citizens living in rural areas, cash is still the bedrock of daily existence because of a lack of facilities.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi backed a shock ruling in November 2016 to outlaw 86% of cash in
circulation to target undeclared "black money" and fight corruption.
The demonetization got rid of old 500 and 1,000 rupee banknotes and Modi said that would boost the country's
digital economy, unearth unaccounted wealth and reduce the use of cash.
But 99.3% of the junked currency is back in the banking system, suggesting that only a miniscule portion was
unaccounted illicit money or fake currency notes, and India's addiction to cash is now, perhaps stronger than
ever.
To promote digital payment, the RBI has established "state of the art payment systems that are efficient,
convenient, safe, secure and affordable" that has resulted in a rapid growth in retail digital payment systems.

Meanwhile, it will promote the use of e-payments for parking, fuel and toll collection, and has ordered banks
not to charge bank customers for online transactions in the National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT) system
from January 2020.
Anecdotal evidence, however, suggests people in Asia's third-largest economy prefer cash for various reasons,
including to avoid paying higher taxes after a national sales tax was implemented in mid-2017 and higher
charges from retailers.
Smaller stores who don't enjoy high volume sales often charge customers extra, to make up for what they must
pay the service partners for electronic transactions.
"Digital economy has certainly gained momentum in metros, cities and to some extent in semi-urban belts. But
it has not spread to rural belts or the informal sector where financial illiteracy is the issue," said Rupa Rege
Nitsure, chief economist at L&T Financial Holdings.
"It is difficult to predict when the shift would happen because general education and financial education are
different things," she added.
36. HOW MICROFINANCE SECTOR CAN LEVERAGE
BIG DATA ANALYTICS FOR FINANCIAL INCLUSION
With the help of Big Data, the Microfinance Industry will reach a position where they will have
the ability to provide products that customers exactly need.
The rapid enhancement in technology, new players and huge investments coming up in the
financial technology, mobile phone penetration are re-modelling the financial services vista.
With enhanced penetration of mobile devices globally, the opportunity to gain more
understanding about consumer behavior, comprising how they spend their money and time, has
also enhanced. They can now target a distinct group of people using such knowledge.
37. Contd….
With most credit institutions, functioning on IT-facilitated lending platforms and credit bureaus
updated with all the data, four vital facets are emerging:
1. Making reliable credit decisions based on data.
2. Big data-driven model promises psychometric evaluations.
3. Product build up and service positioning and offering.
There is a famous saying, "work smarter not harder", and big data strongly validates this. Big
data in union with various aspects of artificial intelligence (AI) has already begun to transform
the decision-making process of not just MFIs but also, several other industries such as
manufacturing, automobile, healthcare, communications, media.
38. SELECT YOUR NEXT BIG INNOVATION WITH AN
INNOVATION MARKET
- Innovation excellence
Here how it works :
1. Set up stalls (or separate rooms) where the presentations will take place.
2. Small groups attend each presentation in turn. The presentation lasts about five minutes with
another five minutes for questions and answers.
3. When people have seen all the presentations they vote – in secret so that no-one can see which is
currently the most popular project.
4. It is helpful to give people some criteria to help them with their voting. What sorts of innovations
does the organization need?
This method is subjective. People are influenced by the personality of the presenter, especially
someone who is enthusiastic and well-informed. There is no ROI calculation or detailed business
case. However, the crowds can be often prove to be wiser than the executives. And a big plus is that
there will be better support for the winning idea across the organization because so many people have
seen, contributed and bought into the project.

EPIC FRAMEWORK
This framework was suggested by Todd Henry in his latest podcast episode
on – The Accidental Creative podcast. he shares more information about the
EPIC framework that you can use to pick the idea among all the options to
continue to work on. EPIC is an acronym that stands for Effective, Practical,
Interesting and cool. Each idea gets rated on a scale (1-10) on the following
questions:
1. How effective is this idea in solving the problem that we are trying to
solve?
2. How practical is the idea based on the constraints that we are operating
under?
3. How interesting and cool is the idea? How much energy does the team
have for the idea?
Once we rate each idea on these questions, we can then pick the idea that
consistently scores the highest on all the questions. If there is not a clear
winner, we can start looking at the ideas.
