The COVID-19 pandemic has placed unprecedented strain on the Indian economy. The wide adoption of digital payments, which facilitates billions of daily consumer transactions, will play a critical role in minimising negative economic effects.
This webinar will focus on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on consumer spending, and discuss how digital payments can be leveraged to mitigate the impacts of the crisis. This includes resolving bottlenecks including card on file restrictions, security mandates for new cards, legacy issues linked to Merchant Discount Rate, and barriers to subscription/recurring payments in traditional and new markets.
