Discussion is around the following questions:
- What’s new about P2P payments? They have been around for sometime – You can pay anyone through a bank account or there is PayPal?
- Why have P2P payments been successful in some markets such as the US (Venmo; Zelle) & the Nordics (Swish etc) but not in others (e.g. UK)?
- To what extent instant / faster payment infrastructure in a country is pivotal to the success of P2P payments?
- Can P2P payments be offered on a standalone basis? What’s the business model – is there any?
