PayStation

Will the penny drop?

This event has been indefinitely postponed. The original description is below.

The friction of digital payments has become a challenge to scaling technology businesses in India. While some ecommerce companies have adopted cash payments, others have implemented elegant techniques of absorbing credit card information at the user account level.

Yet, drop rates remain stubbornly high, adoption of electronic payments remains poor, opening merchant accounts appears mired in labyrinthine processes and subscription payments remain largely closed.

PayStation hopes to bring together engineers and technologists for new ideas and fresh perspectives in resolving these challenges in India’s payments’ infrastructure. If you’d like to share your experience or work in online, mobile or alternate payments, or in fact if you’ve worked on developing secure and safe payments infrastructure, go ahead and propose a session below!

Offline payments - In this age, why and how?

Submitted Aug 16, 2012

The idea is to share some of the learnings from the offline payments segment. Even though most people are touting electronic payments to be the “next” big thing, it’ll be interesting to talk about and discuss the need of an offline payment system that scales. Also, how is this system insured and how to make it better?

Outline

The offline payment segment gives companies a chance to know the customer, to leverage on top of the data and also implement one of the most intensive modes of transacting money. Why are people doing this? More importantly, how are they doing it ( managing risk, ensuring no defaults and still abiding by regulations )?
