The Disappearance of Payments

Payments are disappearing, argues David True, Partner at PayGility Advisors. They have become so technologically easy to process, by so many parties, that the real competition now is in the add-on services that many payments companies provide, like accounting software or analytics. True explains the history of how payments became commoditized and offers predictions for what to watch for as the major players in the industry—like Visa, MasterCard, and AmEx—adapt to this changing landscape.
