Overview
In this emerging debit market analysis, Mercator Advisory Group suggests the possibility that the next generation of debit will be strongly impacted by the development of cash proxies and account tokens as means of:
Hardening security to protect consumer spending accounts
Controlling cost of acceptance
Replacing traditional cash within a digital economy
"The final frontier of debit product development lies in the reimagining of what a cash currency is and how best to protect sources of cash funding in a manner that is cost-effective and efficient for all stakeholders," comments Patricia Hewitt, director of Mercator Advisory Group's Debit Advisory Service and author of the report.
