Are payments in Asia headed for a quantum leap?

Payment technology and population adoption are set to explode in Asia, as the market looks set to build upon massive quantum leaps in connectivity, telephony, platform technology and disruptions to how people are engaging with the banking system.

Still dominant, how do card schemes self-disrupt?

With the advent of super apps and national instant payments clearing systems branching out into retail, what is the outlook for the card schemes in 2019? National card schemes still dominate but alternative payments or shifts in the value chain is creating a state of flux. How can national and international card schemes play a role in these changes and more importantly what new value can be created for consumers and businesses.
