In the latest episode of NMI Payment Playbook, host Greg Myers sits down with Kate Hampton, Chief Strategy Officer at NMI, to discuss the evolving landscape of payment regulations and their impact on the industry. This episode is the third in a three-part series focusing on trends affecting payment providers, with previous episodes covering embedded payments and AI in payments. Kate begins by providing a broad overview of key regulations, categorizing them into two main areas: Those that protect system participants, such as consumers and merchants Those that protect the system itself, such as anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations Kate emphasizes the importance of these regulations in maintaining the security and integrity of the payment ecosystem. The conversation then shifts to specific regulatory trends, including the stricter regulations in the European Union, like PSD2, which aims to increase competition by simplifying rules. Kate explains that while the U.S. often adopts similar initiatives, they are typically tailored to fit the unique aspects of the U.S. market. Open banking is another topic of discussion, with Kate highlighting its core objective of empowering consumers to control their data and drive innovation. She suggests that while open banking will likely make its way to the U.S., it will take a form suited to the American financial environment. The podcast also delves into the Credit Card Competition Act (CCCA), which seeks to lower card acceptance costs for merchants by increasing competition. Kate outlines the potential implications of this act, including the possibility of reduced rewards for cardholders and the introduction of new consumer fees. Finally, the episode touches on the importance of transparency in the regulatory process and the evolving role of AI in payments. Kate stresses the need for ongoing industry engagement to ensure regulations are effective and beneficial for all stakeholders. Listen to the full episode to learn more!…

1 How Omnichannel and Orchestration Power Modern Payments With Kate Hampton, Chief Strategy Officer at NMI 11:46
In the final episode of our NMI Payment Playbook Podcast series on how consumers influence the payments ecosystem, host Greg Myers talks with Kate Hampton, Chief Strategy Officer at NMI , about how omnichannel payments and orchestration are making it possible for payments providers to meet evolving customer expectations. With 18 years of experience in payments acceptance, Hampton defines omnichannel as a seamless, connected shopping experience across various channels, including in-person, mobile, online and unattended. Hampton highlights that consumers today expect minimal friction and maximum flexibility in their shopping experiences. They desire payment options that are seamlessly integrated and contextually appropriate, eliminating the need to adapt to different payment methods. For merchants, this expectation presents a challenge as they must rely on partners who understand both their business needs and customer expectations. Hampton advises stakeholders like ISOs, PayFacs and SaaS companies to focus on delivering an optimal consumer experience, emphasizing that the payment process is a vital extension of the merchant's brand. She also notes that omnichannel strategies must be future-proofed to stay ahead of evolving consumer preferences and technological advancements. Next, Myers and Hampton discuss payment orchestration, the configuration and coordination of payments across various channels, payment types, methods and geographies to create a simple and intentional end-user experience. Hampton explains that good payment orchestration should be invisible, providing a seamless experience where consumers don't need to think about the payment process. The value of effective payment orchestration lies in superior customer experience, differentiation and future-proofing. Hampton connects the dots between customer expectations, omnichannel strategies and payment orchestration, stating that these elements work together to curate the best possible consumer experience. She concludes by emphasizing the non-negotiable nature of these integrated solutions in today's payments landscape. This episode wraps up the series, with a new series on industry trends coming soon.…
In the latest episode of NMI Payment Playbook, host Greg Myers and Vijay Sondhi, CEO of NMI , discuss how Gen Z and Millennials are influencing payments technology. With over two decades of experience in financial technology, Sondhi highlights the stark contrast between these groups. Millennials, aged 28 to 43, remember a pre-smartphone era, while Gen Z, aged 12 to 27, grew up with digital devices, shaping their expectation for frictionless digital payments. Sondhi explains that Gen Zers often default to using their mobile phones to pay, preferring digital wallets like PayPal, Venmo and Apple Wallet over physical credit cards or cash. He shares a personal anecdote illustrating this shift, describing a trip where he managed without his physical wallet, relying solely on his phone for payments and identification. The conversation then shifts to the popularity of Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) among Gen Z, who favor it over traditional credit lines due to perceived transparency and better interest rates, despite often being misled by perceptions. Sondhi also notes that this generation is highly sensitive to friction in the payment process. Gen Zers lack brand loyalty and are often happy to switch providers for a smoother, more convenient experience. Next, Myers and Sondhi turn their attention to biometrics. Sondhi sees great potential in this technology, especially due to its security and convenience. However, privacy concerns remain a hurdle, especially among younger consumers wary of sharing biometric data with big corporations. To solve this issue, Sondhi advocates for biometric solutions integrated into trusted devices like smartphones. Sondhi views AI as an evolving technology with immense potential for payments and financial management. While current applications include fraud detection and marketing, he envisions AI driving a shift towards more meaningful use of money, aligning with Gen Z's values. Sondhi concludes by emphasizing the need for adaptability in the fast-changing payment landscape. He urges professionals to consider open-loop solutions for broader scalability. To stay relevant in the industry, providers will need to prioritize the preferences of younger generations.…
1 How Consumers Influence the Payments Ecosystem with Tiffany Johnson, Chief Product Officer at NMI 15:19
In the newest season of NMI Payment Playbook, we explore consumer payment trends and how Gen Z and Millennials influence the payments ecosystem. Our special guest for the first episode is Tiffany Johnson, Chief Product Officer at NMI . Tiffany Johnson, with over 18 years of experience in payments, emphasizes the importance of understanding the distinct characteristics of Millennials and Gen Z. Millennials, born between 1981 and 1996, value experiences, sustainability and digital connectivity while using a mix of payment methods, including cash, credit cards and digital wallets. They have lived through the evolution of the internet and digital payments, making them tech-savvy and conscious of privacy and security concerns. Gen Z, born between 1997 and 2012, are true digital natives and the "single device generation," relying heavily on smartphones for shopping, banking and entertainment. They prioritize speed, convenience and seamless digital experiences. Tiffany highlights that Gen Zers are more accustomed to advanced financial tools and have a higher expectation for seamless payment integrations. As the global retail spending share of Gen Z is set to triple by 2030, Tiffany advises payment professionals to embrace new technologies like contactless payments and biometrics and to focus on creating seamless user experiences. She stresses that Gen Z values speed and quality and is less brand loyal, making it crucial for businesses to offer high-quality, fast and frictionless payment solutions. Tiffany also discusses the dual role of Gen Z as both consumers and emerging business leaders, urging payment providers to consider their preferences in both capacities. NMI is responding by prioritizing flexibility, modularity and embedded payment experiences in its product development. Additionally, Tiffany notes the importance of mentorship and digital experiences in attracting and retaining Gen Z talent within NMI . In conclusion, Tiffany emphasizes that understanding and meeting the evolving expectations of consumers, particularly Gen Z and millennials, is key to advancing in the payments ecosystem.…
