Listen to the third episode of Talking Payments with EMVCo – the podcast that goes beyond the now to provide insight into the technologies and initiatives that are shaping the future of payments.

EMVCo has released the third episode of its podcast series Talking Payments with EMVCo – the podcast that goes beyond the now to provide insight into the technologies and initiatives that are shaping the future of payments.

Accelerated by the pandemic, in-store consumer payment preferences have shifted towards touchless options. One solution experiencing growth in recent years is QR codes, which have increasingly been used to initiate fast and easy touchless mobile payments at the point-of-sale.

In the latest episode, I am joined by Brian Byrne (Director of Engagement and Operations) and Bastien Latge (Director of Technology), to explore the rise of QR Code payments and how the EMV® QR Code Specifications enable quick, reliable and trusted transactions for both merchants and consumers. Bastien also catches up with Johan Buitendag, Strategy and Research Manager at the Payment Association of South Africa, to learn about the impact of QR Code payments in the region.
