ABN AMRO possesses a clear and bold purpose: banking for better, for generations to come. The bank’s impact on society and on the economy is tremendous, and for our contribution to be both positive and enduring we need to make the right choices. Everything that we do derives from our purpose: now and in the future. The payment landscape will change more in the coming five years than the last 50 years. When it was cash or paper cheques then, paying now comes in many forms. Customers are digitally driven and expect convenient ways of paying in which wearables are an example. Please join the session and take a look into the future world of payments.
