However, in today’s world, the enigma of who is who when it comes to security-critical operations like commerce, banking and payments, has grown more complex and the challenges arguably more unimaginable. The problem is the greatest threat to digital identity is being driven not from human fraudsters, but from bots. “The core question now isn’t just whether something is a bot or a human,” Persona CEO and co-founder Rick Song said during a discussion hosted by PYMNTS CEO Karen Webster. “It’s who is behind the bot?”

When a shopper whips out their credit card to buy something online, they can feel a lingering worry: Will my card number get stolen by hackers or otherwise misused?. That’s why tokenization, a process that hides your 16-digit number from a merchant and instead uses a separate computer-generated number saved on your mobile phone or smartwatch or stored with a retailer, is the next frontier of ensuring security when paying. Mastercard said Tuesday (June 3) that nearly half of all its online transactions in Europe are now tokenized. The payment giant unveiled the milestone exactly one year after outlining its plan to phase out manual card entry and achieve 100% tokenization by 2030. The process lets consumers avoid exposing their sensitive account details, preventing a fraudster from using your credit card for nefarious purposes
Tink, A Visa Solution, and Adyen, the global financial technology platform of choice for leading businesses, have announced a partnership with Vodafone, a leading telecoms company, to offer their customers in Germany the option to pay their prepaid tariff and outstanding postpaid balances using Pay by Bank. Pay by Bank is the commonly used term for the open banking-powered payment method that allows consumers to quickly transfer money directly from one bank account to another. Michael Reinartz, Director Innovation at Vodafone, said: “We’re pleased to work with two leading fintechs in Tink and Adyen to offer this new payment method for some of our customers in Germany. The simplicity and security of Pay by Bank provides a great option.”
Apple has extended Tap to Pay on iPhone to eight more European countries.The feature, which enables merchants to use an iPhone to accept in-person contactless payments, was launched Tuesday (May 27) in Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Greece, Iceland, Luxembourg and Malta, Apple said in a Tuesday press release.With an iPhone and a partner-enabled iOS app, businesses can accept payments from contactless credit and debit cards, Apple Pay and other digital wallets, according to the release.Because no additional hardware or payment terminal is required, merchants using this solution can accept payments anywhere they do business, per the release.“Apple works closely with leading payment platforms and app developers across the payments and commerce industry to offer Tap to Pay on iPhone,” the release said. “Payment platforms and developers can integrate Tap to Pay on iPhone into their iOS apps, making it easy for merchants to enable this secure and convenient capability.”The company launched Tap to Pay on iPhone in nine other European countries in March, expanding the availability of the contactless payment method to Bulgaria, Finland, Hungary, Liechtenstein, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia and Switzerland.When financial service provider Mollie announced in January that it expanded Tap to Pay to iPhone to merchants in three more European countries, Mollie CEO Koen Köppen said in a press release that the feature “[allows] local businesses to give their customers more choice and flexibility.”Adyen extended Tap to Pay on iPhone to additional European countries in October, with Alexa von Bismarck, president EMEA at Adyen, saying in a press release, “We have seen how Tap to Pay on iPhone has changed how consumers and businesses experience mobile payments for the better across the many regions where Tap to Pay on iPhone is already available with Adyen.”Mobile payment solutions untether merchants from a single checkout spot, PYMNTS reported in October. The technology extends across industries, from restaurants to delivery services, providing merchants with greater flexibility to meet their customers where they are — and it is especially useful for small businesses that may not have the resources to invest into and maintain high-tech hardware infrastructure
