The round table “Payment systems: what will customers pay in 2009?” At E-commerce 2008 pleased those present with their… predictability. “We are not afraid of the crisis.

Now there will be no explosive growth of electronic payment systems (EPS) ahead of the entire e-commerce market, but the pace will remain close to the annual doubling. “We are entering the phase when we need to do business: to optimize, reduce costs, God forbid. It’s better, of course, to increase revenues. ”
And it's simple. And do not even argue. But still it is so clear that this “time to start working” is pronounced with sadness ...
