We organised this conference on 29 and 30 November 2011 at the Crowne Plaza, Brussels ‘Le palace’.
The conference focused on how e-money and payment institutions are changing and the new opportunities for industry and challenges for regulations that this creates.
What did the conference address?
The conference reviewed the evolution of e-money and alternative payment products over the last few years and invited issuers and payment service providers to describe developments that are likely to emerge. The EU regulatory model was compared to that of the US, Japan, Australia and the recently adopted Russian legislation.
