New podcast series

On Monday 17 January we are launching a new series of the Payments:Unpacked podcast - ahead of Monday’s launch we are making the first episode available to our newsletter subscribers a couple of days early!

In the first episode of the new Payments:Unpacked podcast (Series 1, Episode 1) we shine a light on the UK's new bill payments overlay service - Request to Pay. 

We are joined by Peter Cornforth, Commercial Director from Answer Pay - the UK's first accredited Request to Pay provider.

Peter describes what Request to Pay is, considers the benefits to both the biller and the payer, considers how the service can support the banks mission to thwart the fraudster, explores the various use cases that Request to Pay seeks to address, compares the UK's offering with Europe and further afield, explains why Request to Pay and Open Banking can be natural bedfellows and considers how a PSP might implement the service.
