Courting a New Kind of Customer: Serving Small Business Online

Payments Convergence & Exception Management
Wednesday, April 8, 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Track: Check Electronification Room: Crystal K-M

As the volume of payments moves from paper to image to electronic, and the distinction among payment types increasingly blurs, payments convergence becomes a hot topic. Banking operations need to stay in step with shifts in payment channel volume in order to maximize efficiency and customer service. This is especially true when it comes to managing the problems convergence creates -- the exceptions, adjustments and disputes. Industry experts Mike Reagan, managing director, Global Payments Solutions, Fiserv and Kathy Neuman, manager, Electronic Deposit Center, Wells Fargo will examine the impacts of payments convergence on customers and banks, and explore payments convergence issues from two perspectives -- that of a single, large commercial bank and that of the banking industry. This session provides attendees with an understanding of the impacts of a convergence on both banks and their customers. Through lessons learned, attendees are able to return to their organizations with insight into emergence of new exception types and their causes.
