The document discusses how contactless payment brands like MasterCard Paypass can provide more value to merchants through targeted promotional messaging. It proposes that Paypass cards could store customer shopping patterns and payment history to allow merchants to deliver personalized coupons and offers at the point-of-sale through the card receipt. This would help merchants attract new customers, reward existing ones, and potentially increase transaction volumes for payment brands.

1. Making the region’s preferred contactless brand

2. The power of Differentiation! Technology from Welcome can make the paypass brand much more attractive to merchants.

3. Let the other brands struggle with major pains which occur when merchants are not excited. For example…

4. 1 out of 133 “ There are 6 million places where you can use your credit card, 45,000 (contactless locations) doesn’t excite me .” John Suchanec, Bank of America

5. “ Until you have a better merchant coverage, there’s clearly a problem .” Leigh Malnati, American Express

6. “ Contactless is a great idea but only at the right price and the price at the moment is miles off the pace.” “ The cost of handling cash is virtually free because the banks want our notes for their ATMs .” Nick Mourant, Tesco

7. “ WHSmith and Boots have looked at it from the cost perspective and it has not stacked up.” Consultant to MasterCard

8. “ [We] haven’t moved aggressively to contactless because there is little consumer demand – been more of an issuer/association push .” David Tryder Dunkin’ Donuts May 2007

9. “ Waving a card in front of a reader takes about as much time as swiping one through.” Manager, Sheetz, Inc.

10. Provide more value to merchants … and let other contactless brands struggle with all of these problems.

11. Imagine the next generation of cards…

12. … equipped with a set of marketing enhancements that help merchants get more value from MasterCard paypass.

13. Merchants can now use data hidden inside the paypass chip to deliver targeted messages at the POS, at very low cost.

14. WHY PROMOTIONAL MARKETING? ?

15. Promotional marketing is huge ($342 billion in the US alone!)

16. Promotional marketing is global (the same techniques are used everywhere )

17. France

18. Germany

19. Pakistan

20. Thailand

21. China

22. Newspaper ad, half page: € 9,000 - €12,000 Co-op package mailing, 1 insert: €350 Local coupon book, 1 page: €350 Promo marketing is expensive (and rarely targeted because too difficult)

23. “ Bank-managed data could help retailers identify their best customers and prospects .” “ [help] entice customers to visit the retailer - either for the first time or for repeat patronage .” “ [banks can charge] direct fees or indirect/bundled pricing e.g., in the form of higher interchange.”

25. Payment data in the chip indicates that this man last had coffee here over 30 days ago… … he has obviously been going somewhere else.

36. What will happen when merchants prefer paypass over other brands? A simple, merchant funded promotion helped a Malaysian bank boost acceptance and usage of its cards at Pizza Hut. + 49%

37. vs When a payment product is valuable to merchants When the product is less valuable to merchants Merchants encourage customers to use that payment product over others. They encourage use of cheaper payment methods (such as cash). Merchants encourage customers to get a card if they don’t already have one. They make no special efforts to promote card acquisition. The cards are more attractive to customers, so easier to sell. The cards are no different than those of other payment schemes. Higher interchange fees are justified with regards to that payment product. High interchange fees are not justified, and end up getting cut. The product is adopted by more issuers. Banks prefer other payment products.

38. Payment products that support targeted merchant promotions enjoy increased transaction volume

39. One more thing …

43. The Bigger Picture (i.e. why paypass is so important)

44. “ MasterCard’s IPO, the biggest since Google, is a success despite ongoing legal battles over what are known as interchange fees.” “ Visa and MasterCard face dozens of lawsuits across the nation.” “ Gas station owners make less money, or even lose money, when customers pay with plastic .” “ Paying in cash instead of credit cards could lead to more money saved for everyone.” Interchange awareness comes to Wall Street

45. “ Historically, MasterCard and Visa were mirror images of each other. Visa should spell out if and how it plans to differentiate its interchange strategy, the markets and business it intends to cultivate, and the information-based services enhancing its customers’ profitability.” Lessons Visa Can Learn From MasterCard’s IPO

46. The problem must be solved at the payment network level Merchants and regulators will continue challenging the interchange model if schemes don’t provide more value to merchants. Change perceptions – show merchants and regulators (and Wall Street) that paypass provides major new innovation for the benefit of merchants.

47. The problem must be solved at the payment network level Payment schemes will find it more and more difficult to attract issuers if they have to dramatically cut interchange fees. Show issuers that paypass provides more structurally secure interchange revenues (while other brands face a higher risk of getting cut).

48. The problem must be solved at the payment network level Competing innovation initiatives (contactless, mobile, chip …) will struggle without active merchant participation. Get merchants to see paypass as an integral and strategic part of their marketing activities (while other brands provide little added value).
