Dealing With The Challenges Of 2024

AFPs and BNPL have boomed over the last few years.  They have, however, added complexity to an already complex ecosystem.  How do we as industry deal with the consequences of innovation?  Have we thought through the knock-on impacts in areas like chargebacks and refunds for example?

Is a solution payment orchestration?  That throws up their own challenges (as well as opportunities) so how well are companies dealing with this?  This session is a chance to share best practice from the front line of airlines & travel companies dealing with those challenges alongside their industry partners.
