Episode Synopsis "Will transport payments drive a MaaS revolution?"

In this episode, Mike Sussman, Flowbird's  Head of UK Product Strategy, explores the transport payments landscape and the opportunities and challenges for open payments and Account Based Ticketing. He explains how these differ dramatically from region to region, influenced by factors including the numbers of unbanked and underbanked and the momentum behind contactless card issuance. He highlights the mutually beneficial relationship between ABT and open payments and unpicks buzzwords like omni-channel and multi-tokenality. As if that wasn’t enough to squeeze into a podcast, Mike also looks at the role of payments in providing a springboard for interoperability and Mobility-as-a-Service. Happy listening!
