Banks, retailers, public services organisations, programme managers and processors are under pressure to keep up with the changing trends in consumer spending and develop payment solutions to meet new needs.

That's why now, more than ever, businesses are increasing their investments into prepaid, which has become the fastest growing sector of payments.  Just imagine, US$200 billion will be spend on prepaid cards in 2011...

Prepaid 2011 is Europe's largest gathering of prepaid professionals and the UK's only prepaid event.  The corss industry, multi-sector agenda ensures that this is your unique opportunity to get up to speed with latest developments in prepaid emerging across markets including banking, retail, corporate, transport, public sector, mobile, contactless and gaming.

Governments, NGOs and aid agencies around the world can replace costly cash and cheque payments with electronic channels.

Prepaid cards, savings accounts, branchless banking, mobile phones and the web can rapidly reduce costs, increase operational efficiency and improve the lives of the most impoverished citizens.

G2P (Government to Person) Payments 2010 is the first international conference and expo to provide you with access to the directors behind the most successful G2P programmes and reveal how you too can plan and launch your own G2P payments service.

Transport Ticketing 2011 will provide an introduction to major new initiatives in fare collection, explaining how they can save you time and money whilst simultaneously increasing capacity and revenue.  Making the significant investment to implement a new fare collection system is a massive commitment.  Deciding which system to adopt is a choice which will define your success.  Learn from the pioneers who have already got their hands dirty, and discover whether smart card, direct payment at the gate, NFC or e-ticketing is the best system for you.
