About This Event
After the turbulence of the last 12 months, smart retailers have increased their investment in technology that enables them to provide a frictionless experience for customers - particularly when it comes to checkout.
Digital wallets sit at the heart of this trend, unlocking valuable insights to help retailers create omnichannel, highly effective marketing campaigns. The result? Each digital wallet user could be worth a staggering $20,000 when this technology reaches maturity, according to analysis from ARK Investments. But all digital wallets are not created equal.
Join us as Andries Smit, founder and CEO at Upside Saving, and Simon Torrance, one of the world’s leading experts on business model transformation, share their insights on creating stronger digital wallets for tomorrow’s shoppers.
Andries and Simon will introduce the concept of ‘embedded finance’, explaining how these next-generation technologies can provide retailers with real-time actionable insights across your customers, brand and market, helping you to increase your total addressable market and move your digital wallet into ‘super app’ territory.
