Picture a world where all transactions are so seamless, they feel non-existent. Well, that's the future of payments we're exploring today with the insightful NMI CEO, Vijay Sondhi. Promising an enlightening discussion, we dive into the realm of Anytime, Anywhere Payments. An idea that's all about eliminating the friction from payments and creating experiences that are so smooth, they feel like they never happened. We delve into the evolution of smartphone payments, looking at how these handy devices are becoming the ultimate tools for transactions. Tune in as Vijay shares how different sectors such as ISOs, ISVs, Payfacs, and banks should approach this concept for a frictionless future.

Interestingly, the influence of Gen Z on the future of payments was also discussed. Gen Z, the digital natives armed with smartphones and short attention spans, are leading the charge towards a future of frictionless payments. They demand speed, convenience, and security, which are becoming the benchmarks for payment experiences. Vijay also pointed out that the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated this trend, leading to a paradigm shift with card-not-present transactions becoming the new norm.

For those involved in the payments industry, this episode offers an insightful exploration into the future. It serves as a reminder to always strive to deliver the best payment experience - the one that never happened.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
