As e-commerce grows and technology advances, the payments landscape is evolving fast. Could gesture or voice-based payments become the norm? How will AI transform how we transact, and could blockchain disrupt the industry? At the MEA Finance Magazine’s MEA Finance Leaders in Payments Conference in Dubai, Altaf Ahmed, our Director of Digital Payments and Retail Solutions, joined a panel with industry leaders from noon, HSBC, and RAKBANK to address these questions.
