Hot off the Press: European Central Bank will be giving the keynote address at the 15th annual conference on Nordic Card Markets and Future Payment Solutions

LONDON, UK, September 14, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- SMi Group Ltd is delighted to announce that Wiebe Ruttenberg from the European Central Bank will be giving the keynote address at the 15th annual conference on Nordic Card Markets and Future Payment Solutions.

As the Head of Market Integration Division and Directorate General Market Infrastructure & Payments, Wiebe Ruttenberg will discuss the need for instant payment in Europe, examine the focus on pan-European instant payment solutions and indicate how the Euro Retail Payments Board is driving payment innovation.

This year's conference will examine why the importance of a good strategy has never been more significant, especially with the large increase in new market players competing with the traditional banks. With the new regulatory demands coming from the EU, there is a large impact on business revenue models in payments meaning banks need to be more creative to ensure their services are still economically viable.
