A decade is a nice, round number — a convenient marker for what has come and what is coming. We as humans tend to measure our lives in decades, referring to ourselves as children of the ’60s, perhaps, or pining wistfully for the synthesized pop sounds of the ’80s. In payments, 10 years is a long time — where everything can change, and where once fanciful notions can become ubiquitous new ways of transacting.

Friction bedevils all types of retail — and that holds true for transactions inside stores or via eCommerce sites. At the same time, the ongoing effort to create true omnichannel experiences for consumers often runs into roadblocks of friction, frustrating merchants and consumers alike.

The two most powerful forces shaping the future of retail payments have nothing to do with payments at all. At least at first glance.
