Let’s get crazy!  OK, maybe a podcast from BAI Banking Strategies isn’t crazy, crazy, but if you are into payments, this could be the best 10-15 minutes of the year!

Managing editor Lou Carlozo speaks with Tommy Marshal, FinTech Lead for North America at Accenture about their new payments report entitled Driving the Future of Payments: 10 Mega Trends.

Ohhh, the takeaways:

  • Generation Z — born on or after 2000 — views privacy as “optional.”
  • 28% of them would give up friends and even money in order to keep their mobile device.
  • 11 times more likely to share payment information than a Baby Boomer.
  • User experience is the new gold standard. In the 90’s, UX was improved every six months or so. Now it’s multiple times daily.
  • Generation X was the Digital Nation. Generation Z in the Mobile Native nation.

Think about this…who is designing payment infrastructure? Boomers or Gen Z? Who is designing UX? Is there a mismatch? So many scenarios play out with this information. Strap in for a wild ride and start brainstorming for your business!
