As part of our 2011 kick off, PYMNTS.com has turned to its cast of experts on the Market Platform Dynamics team for a few of their payments New Year’s resolutions. The PYMNTS.com Resolution Series is a week long series that has come to life after reflecting on the past year and looking forward to 2011. Each day this week, we will promote New Year’s resolutions from the MPD team.
I. Educating, Learning and Innovating: A New Year, A New Start
“I have taken the merchants who pay much of the cost of the card business for granted. They were so unhappy they went to Uncle Sam and complained. While that irks me, I realize that they are important customers and I need to treat them that way.” – David S. Evans
II. Payments Resolutions Worth Keeping
Sidelining the sweets? Forgoing the french fries? There are some New Year’s resolutions worth keeping this year and continuing the Resolution Series, Karen Webster shares her 2011 payments New Year’s resolutions.
III. Balance, Harmony and Open Platforms
The third day of the Resolution Series brings with it a market focus and a look at customer needs. Tim Attinger of Market Platform Dynamics vows to be more open [with his platforms] in 2011.
IV. The Impact of Durbin and Facebook on Payments Resolutions
In the New Year, innovative fee-generating strategies and the Facebook gaming phenomenon are among the issues forefront in the mind of Market Platform Dynamics’ Margaret Weichert. She continues our Resolution Series.
