cutting costs, improving quality, and innovating
around risks

Never mind if PayTech fails to take over the world, its emergence is changing the face of payments
How will PayTech impact traditional players?
Consolidation: In-app
payments push transactions
to “lodged” card, whose
wallet share increases -
differentiators like card
brand & design decline
Potential Scenarios:
Fragmentation: Digital
wallets displace physical
cards & optimize card
usage, proliferating niche /
merchant issued cards,
splintering wallet share
Displacement: Customers
elect POS financing, credit
card usage erodes as
transactional users migrate
to payment seamlessly
