Digital Payments Strategy Guide
ICBA Bancard, partnered with Aite Group, created a tool to help community banks develop and evolve their digital payments strategies. This community bank-focused tool offers an interactive exercise consisting of a series of questions, developed from extensive market research and community bank executive interviews, to reveal your bank’s current digital payments maturity and offer insights to build from its existing foundation, enabling community banks to create a custom digital payments strategy.
-
- Your bank’s asset size.
- Number of consumer customers, branches and ATMs (onsite and offsite)
- General knowledge of consumer payment products offered
- General knowledge of payments service providers, including security and compliance providers
- Understanding of how data is collected and reported for consumer payments products. Can be found through monthly reports provided by your vendors or generated internally.
- General knowledge of your bank’s consumer age demographics for existing and new accounts.
- Understanding of how consumers interact with your bank (e.g. transactions performed within each channel: online, in-branch, call center etc.)
- How consumer payments revenue impacts your bank's income (income from consumer transactions divided by total revenue for the month)
- Your bank’s appetite to invest in digital payments
Contactless
At the June 2018 Visa Payments Forum, Visa reported that nearly 70 percent of all merchant terminals in the U.S. are now equipped with NFC (Near-Field Communication) setting the stage for contactless payments - the next phase of EMV. While many of these terminals have not yet been enabled, contactless payments will likely get a boost as first-gen EMV chip cards begin to expire and financial institutions strategically reissue plastics that feature chips embedded with NFC technology.
If your bank is considering offering Contactless, now is the time to contact your processor to learn how to get started and to plan ahead.
