16:00 Round Table – Can CashTech solve the Cash Conundrum?

CashTech is the confluence of cash and technology. CashTech gathers companies which leverage software and communications technology to provide improved cash services – including access to cash and acceptance of cash payments – as well as to enhance the efficiency of the cash cycle.

The panelists will discuss how new players can impact the cash cycle. Will they challenge or partner with traditional players? Will they compete with existing bank branches and ATMs or will they offer an alternative channel? Can they disrupt the trend towards increasing use of digital payments? Or can they turn cash into a digital payment? Can Cashtech play a more prominent role in the future cash cycle? How can their business model be more attractive for retailers and other stakeholders? Should central banks and retailers encourage their expansion?
