Interoperability paves the way for innovation. A unified ticketing network with pooled resources can enable investment in technologies that would typically be beyond the means of a single operator. This investment can create operational efficiencies, drive new streams of revenue, and help safeguard key payments and passenger movement data. This helps create a seamless, accessible and inclusive ticketing network that meets the needs of all passengers.

Payment innovation in Africa continues to grow and is key to increasing financial inclusion across the continent. As a key player in the African payments ecosystem, Verve needs to move quickly to meet the increasing appetite for digitized payments.

Implementation is always one of the most challenging parts of any product roll out. From getting commuters to work every day, to giving people the means to travel to see friends and family, the public transport is an integral aspect of people’s everyday lives. And in ticketing, the pressures to deliver this larger scope in a short amount of time are considerable.

Fime is pleased to speak at the Biometrics Institute webinar, where Joël Di Manno, Laboratory Biometric Service Line Manager will explore the importance of certification and the role of testing in deploying successful biometric solutions.

Our world is increasingly connected, and this brings with it an increased demand for digital solutions. This includes payments, with consumers now expecting them to be faster, more convenient and more secure than ever. Instant payments promise not only to meet these expectations but also surpass the capabilities of any current method of payment. It is on this basis that the European Payments Initiative (EPI) aims to change the way Europe pays.

As the world continues to experience a significant shift towards digital commerce, fraud has increased substantially. The pandemic has further exacerbated this trend, with fraud rates skyrocketing over the past year.

Developing and maintaining an interoperable ticketing scheme for an entire city, region or beyond presents many challenges. And while creating an interoperable scheme has a multitude of benefits, unified ticketing requires unified leadership. It is imperative that the authorities and operators working for a common system establish both a short-term and long-term vision for the project.

Domestic schemes in many countries have grown from strength to strength, digitalizing and innovating to keep up with their international counterparts. One area where it is especially important to keep pace is cardholder authentication. It is imperative that domestic schemes provide state of the art security without inhibiting the user experience.

In today's digital age, payments have become increasingly strategic for merchants, especially when it comes to their customer relationships. Payment solutions play a critical role in helping merchants to convert sales and build customer loyalty. Poor payment implementation has an immediate impact on conversion rates, and therefore on the merchant's bottom line.

The rapid growth in the Internet of Things (IoT) and connectivity is transforming industry sectors that previously have been left untouched by the world of connected devices. In areas ranging from large-scale infrastructure projects down to fish tank temperature sensors (1), linked devices are now ubiquitous - and each and every one of them is at risk of attack.

In the world of innovation and technology, Fime is enabling trusted transactions worldwide across payment, authentication and banking. Come and visit us at our booth No B12.
