Visa: Innovations for a Cashless World

Consumer Desire and the Future of Payments

INNOVATIONS FOR A CASHLESS WORLD INNOVATIONS FOR A CASHLESS WORLD The 2017 edition of INNOVATIONS FOR A CASHLESS WORLD illuminates five trends shaping the future of commerce, seven research findings, nine Visa viewpoints, and an overview of how Visa approaches innovation all based on insights gleaned from Visa’s third annual Future of Payments study—now made public for the first time. The Future of Payments study collected 9,200 online surveys Consumer Desire and across 16 countries; USA, Canada, UK, France, Poland, Germany, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea, the Future of Payments Russia, and UAE between July 27th and September 5th, 2017. The research reflects the views and opinions of online populations 2017 EDITION in the 16 countries studied.

001 The Transformation The last few years have witnessed dramatic changes in our industry with the rise of digital of Commerce payments. These changes are going to accelerate as more people around the world use contactless cards and smartphones to pay each day. In fact, they are already transforming the face of commerce—as not just every person, but every device that a person interacts with, becomes a commerce opportunity. With approximately $5 trillion dollars in payment volume each year, 15,000 issuers, 40+ million merchant locations, and 3.2 billion cards in market, Visa pays a lot of attention to these changes. In fact, every year Visa runs dozens of payment studies to inform and guide issuers, merchants, acquirers, and other stakeholders on the future of payments. These studies are also used to influence Visa’s own innovation, product, strategy, and marketing decision-making. Here, for the first time Visa is sharing a single comprehensive study conducted in partnership with GfK across 16 of Visa’s largest markets, with the goal of identifying trends, needs, behavioral patterns, and growth opportunities for the future. Throughout this book, you’ll also find viewpoints from experts in the Visa network who offer perspective on the findings uncovered in the data, as well as five trends shaping the future of commerce and an overview of how Visa approaches innovation. We hope this study will move the conversation forward on payment innovation and the tectonic shifts taking place in our industry. We believe that it is not enough to study consumers and how they approach payments. It is also important to share how we are responding to these shifts to better serve the needs of consumers, issuers, merchants, acquirers, and other stakeholders.

The platform enables P2P payments between more than 200 million Visa debit cards in the US, including payments to non-Visa branded debit cards. In the future, PayPal and Venmo will also leverage the Visa Direct network to enable real- time funds transfers. Funds can be transferred directly into the customer’s bank account linked to a debit card—a convenience that can also be seen as more secure by the consumer. Real-time authentication enables the sender and the receiver to instantly validate the status of the payment. Using Visa Direct can also enable the next generation of payments for shared economy platforms such as Uber, Lyft, Airbnb, and TaskRabbit, getting money into the bank accounts of service producers instantly, regardless of where they bank, via their debit cards.

014 015 TREND #04 Transactions Without Borders Distributed ledgers can ease the transformation to low-friction, digital cash payments. A shared, networked digital ledger, also known as a "blockchain," can record transactions as they occur. The transaction data is shared but not copied, making it a useful platform for new kinds of currencies and payments. First employed to support Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology will be expanded if consumers accept it, and if it can generate value on a larger scale.
