S2W6. Payment Schemes. Cash Goes Digital - A Payment Pandemic.

Before Christmas, VISA came out with a research paper proposing a two-tier settlement architecture which confirms what Crunchfish has been saying all along for a year. An architecture with offline settlement separate from online settlement makes digital payments truly robust. https://usa.visa.com/visa-everywhere/blog/bdp/2020/12/17/central-bank-digital-1608165518834.html

This week, the three main payment schemes are in focus, card payments, real-time payments and the new Central Bank Digital Currency CBDC scheme. We will explore what payment professionals from each of these schemes think about digital cash solutions and how it complements their digital payment service.

This is the 6th week in the interview series Cash goes digital – a payment pandemic. The episodes will be available on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6 am CET/10.30 am IST on Crunchfish’s website https://www.crunchfish.com/the-interviews/ as well as on our YouTube channel!
