Payments Business delivers key executives who manage transactions decisions in Canada Markham, Ont. Launching in January, 2010, a new publication, PAYMENTS BUSINESS, The Magazine of Transactions, Cards & EBPP, will provide senior executives with in-depth coverage and analysis of the payments and transactions industry in Canada. Produced by Lloydmedia, Inc. of Markham, Ont, the bi-monthly publication will reach a Canadian audience of over 12,000 public- and private-sector executives who are responsible for or have an interest in the transaction chain. This includes C-level managers involved in billing, credit management, payments, and customer data applications. Supporting the publication will be a related website (www.paymentsbusiness.ca) and an opt-in e- newsletter focussing on news and developments in the payments industry. Today, the payment processing industry in Canada is facing a challenging future, said Steve Lloyd, president of Lloydmedia. New technologies, rapidly changing business conditions, evolving corporate mandates and the continuing alteration of the regulatory landscape are all creating a growing need for extensive, dedicated, independent coverage of this market. Canadian consumers are among the world s most technically advanced shoppers and are quick to adapt to a wide range of payment systems, noted Mr. Lloyd. Figures from the Canadian Payments Association indicate that on average 22 million payment items representing about $203 billion in transactions are cleared and settled in Canada each business day.
PAYMENTS BUSINESS will help Canadian managers make better decisions about strategy, tactics and technology related to the payments process. Issues slated for extensive coverage include: * the impact of new technologies in the marketplace (e.g. chip-based cards, online processing, digital transactions) * the growth of mobile payment acceptance and usage * emerging payment players and their impact on traditional payment architectures * EBPP (Electronic Bill Presentment & Payment) * the evolution of loyalty cards * top consumer trends and unique characteristics of the Canadian market * the future of debit cards and debit programs * risk management and security * customer ID and security systems * card formats and systems The readers of PAYMENTS BUSINESS are executives (and senior support staff) responsible for creating, executing, managing and fulfilling many forms of payments and financial transactions. Many readers will also have responsibility for or interest in credit management, billing, collections, electronic commerce, printing, mailing, fulfillment and customer service, all activities crucial to the ongoing financial viability of Canadian companies and their daily cash flow.
