Electronic Payment Systems
Strategic and Technical Issues
The first Background Paper of the Electronic Payment Systems Observatory (ePSO) identifies the strategic and technical issues that will be discussed in the ePSO Forum - an online discussion group consisting of payment systems experts and a broad range of market players. The discussion will concentrate on electronic retail payment systems - focussing on the needs of the consumers, merchants and SMEs. While in principle all electronic retail payment systems will be analysed, special emphasis will be given to payment methods in the context of electronic commerce on the Internet and the development of cross-border payment systems. The issues that have been identified are grouped around eight broad categories: e-money, enhanced access products, micro-payment solutions, payment systems infrastructure, regulation and innovation, standardisation and interoperability, consumer protection, anonymity, privacy and security and integration of payments into online transactions.
