Cybersecurity is one of the main tasks in the world of digital commerce and payments, and it’s a task that is getting more attention from consumers, companies, regulators and others. But there’s a big problem in this realm — a shortage of cybersecurity experts, the people with the training and expertise to defend retail and payments from increasingly sophisticated online criminals.

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.

It’s not just technology that moves the world. Culture plays a huge role — as well as the sparks that often come from the tension when cultures clash. That promises to be the case going forward with Open Banking, as financial institutions (FIs) pick partners and proof of concepts. Open Banking is a global effort that resets the relationships FIs have with FinTech firms, payment providers and financial service providers.

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. That being obvious doesn’t make it any less true — or any less meaningful to those involved in payments and commerce.

The two most powerful forces shaping the future of retail payments have nothing to do with payments at all. At least at first glance. Ironically, they are also the two things that shaped the modern payments landscape as we know it today, as it grew up and got wired over the last 60 years – and why that playbook is being disrupted by players decades their junior with market caps that rival or even dwarf their own.

Is it prime time for real time, especially for B2B? The rise of Zelle , and any number of peer-to-peer (P2P) payment options, has increasingly brought consumers on board with the need for speed in payments — where settlement is marked by seconds and minutes, not hours or days. It’s a well-known fact, too, that corporate payments (the B2B kind) are ripe for digitization, and for a wholesale move away from the paper chase, where checks are still stubbornly tied to 50 percent of corporate transacti

The myth of the lone (and possibly mad) scientist died out a long time ago, as the industrial age led to teams of researchers working together (or at healthy cross purposes) to enable innovation.

In the world of physical retail, finding a product to buy is rather straightforward: People go to stores, find something that suits their needs, pay for it and take it home. In an online retail world, the search and discovery process is vastly different, and merchants are competing for eyeballs — and conversions — in a much more dynamic setting. A well-stocked virtual store is nothing unless a consumer can find it, and the products it is selling on those virtual store shelves.
