Transaction Trending EP29: A Conversation on New Payments Channels, with Kevin Brown, Wirecard
4-10-2019
Historically, payments were thought of as the ‘last mile’ in commerce – a necessary step to overcome when making a purchase. But of course, change has come to retail and indeed to payments technology. Payments are no longer just a means to an end – they can be something so much more powerful.
On this episode, ETA Interim CEO Amy Zirkle is joined by Kevin Brown, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships and Marketing at Wirecard North America. He leads go-to-market strategy, brand expansion, and the marketing and communications organization at Wirecard North America, and is an expert in new payments channels in ecommerce and mobile.
On this episode, Kevin joined Amy to discuss the way digital commerce is changing as new channels and payment types proliferate across the world.
This topic will continue for the entire industry in a big way at TRANSACT, the world’s largest payments technology event April 30-May 2 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
