Remittances & Internet Payments: Challenges and Trends in Online Payments

About the Speech:

Since the mid-1990s and the foundation of eBay, the market for online transactions has grown exponentially year-on-year, not only in terms of money exchanged but also in the diversity of products, services and consumers. Today, this upward trend continues at pace, however there is still a disproportionately low level of legal or business structures supporting this market place.

This roundtable offers a unique opportunity to understand, from both the business and legal perspectives, how the remittances and Internet payments sector can be matured to create a secure and stable online transactions industry.
