Can payments really play a role?

The demand for customised and streamlined banking services is more important than ever. Allowing customers to do what they want, when they want, with simplicity and security is now assumed and unlikely to differentiate. In addition, the market is crowded with more choice than ever. A distinctive, seamless and engaging customer experience is vital to retain and attract new customers today and in the future. But are payments the answer, or are they really just the plumbing?
