Interchange Too Complex to Handle! Scheme Rates Rates differ by Scheme - Visa and MasterCard Card Product Rates Different rates for card products, debit, credit, consumer, commercial Acceptance Type Rates Different rates for POS/F2F, paper and ecommerce Sector Rates Sector rate variations, airlines, petrol and supermarkets Transaction Rates Rates for EMV, CNP/MOTO, ecommerce Location Rates Rates for Domestic markets, European (intra) and International (inter) Defaults/Penalties Down grades that apply if certain criteria not achieved Optimisation Potential High Difference between Best and Worst Rates can be up to 100% 17
Who Has to Pay? Typically transactions that fail to achieve the optimum default to the highest level of interchange. For Interchange Plus merchants: Too much paid away to issuers Increased costs straight to bottom line Reduced profitability For MSC/bundled pricing merchants: Increased acquirer costs Potential for penalties Work through to MSCs at price reviews 18
Mistakes Increase Interchange Costs Face to Face Transactions: Provided all EMV automatically qualify for lowest rate. But typical causes of higher costs are: Delays in submission (most common) Offline terminals where submission delayed Key entry/magstripe of transactions Submission mis-matches with authorisation ecommerce Transactions: Failure to use/apply 3D/CVV2 (most common). POS/eCommerce in-store can generate higher rates. Mobile at POS/in-store/online generates higher rates. Transaction date (should be date of goods dispatch not authorisation date) Worst Case Merchant use of 3D = 5%; Best Case = 92% 19
How to Cut Costs Benchmarks Build basic understanding of interchange benchmarks what you should pay versus what you are paying ask why are we paying at Standard Rates? MIS Implement basic MIS/exception reporting to highlight where not qualifying for lowest rates. ecommerce and 3D Specifically focus on ecommerce and 3D/CVV2 and maximise usage Data Quality Work with third party to improve accuracy of data and the correct population of fields - particularly relevant for the sector. Submission Timing Ensure data meets acquirer submission deadlines, particularly over the weekend. Conclusions: Strong potential to reduce the costs of interchange in many nations 20

BIN Sponsorship - What Might Happen! Cards business failure stops Christmas shopping in Budapest PSP mismanagement causes failure of Hungarian low cost airline Card issuer collapse impacts all of Bulgarian MNO s Major fraud breach costs Czech supermarket 2m Latvian cardholders loose due to cards business bankruptcy Slovakian card operators profits take a major hit from merchant bankruptcy Estonian fraudsters breach online payments network and steal millions 22
Evolution of the BIN Sponsorship Model 2008-2009. Payment Services Directive (PSD) enabled non-banks to become members of Visa and MasterCard (ICS). 2009-2010. Rapid expansion of prepaid cards and move out of closed to open loop by programme managers. 2008-2011. Six to eight non-banks established as EU BIN sponsors members of MasterCard initially then Visa. 2011. Many small ICS branded programmes launched 200 to 300 within the EU. 2011. Germany regulator (BAFIN) tightens up AML rules and bans anonymous prepaid cards. 2012. Major BIN sponsor player exits from UK market. 23
BIN Sponsorship Causes of Concern ICS initial tests for PI membership too loose/relaxed failure to impress on BIN sponsors roles and responsibilities. BIN sponsorship market highly competitive with players offering plans at very low/no fees. Lack of card issuer experience perceive BIN sponsorship as simple ICS brand transfer. Rapid growth enabled prepaid programmes to be launched that would not pass ICS scheme compliance tests. BIN sponsors belatedly recognise their role as agents of Visa and MasterCard. Complex to retrospectively test programmes and implement retro active operational models. Risk and cost of ensuring compliance only now realised fear of a breach and loss of ICS licences. 24
Action to be Taken Improved, more rigorous PI membership criteria. Criteria to include ICS issuer knowledge, compliance officer and on-going monitoring processes. Closer on-going monitoring by ICS to ensure compliance. Greater scrutiny by national market regulators. Much closer scheme monitoring of new BIN sponsored issuers over first two years. Increased collateral/deposits by BIN sponsoring members. Conclusions: The BIN sponsorship model needs speedy improvement to reduce risk to payments sector 25

Why ecommerce Rapidly expanding market growth by up to 25% despite recession! mcommerce to accelerate expansion. Significant potential for new customers and sales for merchants. Generates good returns to PSPs, processors, issuers and acquirers. Technology in place in most countries. Key Question why does card usage differ so much across the EU? 27

Why ecommerce Markets are Not Working Consumers/Issuers Key Issues: Continued concern over security particularly unknown sites Preference to search and price but F2F to pay Misunderstand 3D processes No domestic debit usage Lack of credit cards Fear of complexity of refunds/returns Merchants/Acquirers Key Reasons: Defensive online offers from F2F Too few pure play online Lack of a benchmark leading successful online merchant Under investment in web upgrades/refresh Lack of PSPs/aggregators for SMEs Bank fees and penalties too high 29
How ecommerce Markets Can Improve Need for greater co-operation between banks and merchants. More local research into consumer concerns/attitudes. Promotion of 3D and refund guarantees/chargebacks. Collective programmes for consumer education. Encouragement of PSP to support SME sectors. Stronger incentives/rewards from all parties to make both sides of market work. Conclusions it s not the technology; it s encouraging consumers to use! 30
Summary of Conclusions and Observations The mobile is driving payments convergence major trend! Merchants struggling to adapt to change! Visa and MasterCard to win race for ewallet? Interchange complexity increasing costs! BIN sponsorship model needs restructuring! ecommerce market both sides not working! 31
