Gemalto Whitepaper: What Keeps CIO's Awake at Night?

Whitepaper: What keeps CIOs awake at night?

Prevailing trends in technology would suggest that maintaining control of IT security is becoming an ever more difficult task for CIOs. With the vast majority of the workforce now likely to be IT literate, everyone from junior executives to Chief Execs will have their own views on what activities are and are not secure.
They are operating in a fast changing environment with data resources moving into the cloud, employees coming to work armed with their own tablets and smartphones and high-profile network breaches moving IT security to the top of the agenda.
We wanted to see how CIOs were reacting to this new set of challenges and how we might be able to respond to their changing needs. So we talked to 100 of the most senior IT leaders in five different areas (The US, UK, France, Germany and the Nordics) and asked them how they handle security.
What we found was a mixed picture: a group which was concerned by recent high-profile data breaches, grappling to come to terms with BYOD but still positive about embracing emerging technologies. They are also still mindful of cost in an environment where many will continue to face budget reductions and are being instructed to do 'more with less'. We turned the results into a whitepaper which provides insight into the security decisions on the horizon for some of the world's most senior IT personnel.

Despite New Regulation, Debit Continues to Grow


Financial Institutions Surveyed in 2012 Debit Issuer Study Expect 15 Percent Growth for PIN Debit, 8 Percent Increase in Signature Transactions This Year

HOUSTON--()--Financial institutions participating in the 2012 Debit Issuer Study, commissioned by PULSE, experienced strong growth in debit transaction volume in 2011 amid profound regulatory changes.
“The impact of Reg. II is being felt most strongly by regulated entities”
“The latest Debit Issuer Study provides more evidence that growth in debit remains robust even in the face of significant regulatory headwinds,” said Steve Sievert, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Communications for PULSE.
The Federal Reserve’s Regulation II capped the maximum interchange fees that financial institutions with at least $10 billion in worldwide assets could receive on debit card transactions. These issuers report fundamental shifts in their debit business. The relative importance of PIN debit versus signature debit and interest in debit rewards were impacted by the regulation. Eighty-nine percent of large issuers indicate that regulatory pressure will be a key challenge in the coming year.
Impact of New Regulation
Regulation II has two major components: a cap on debit interchange rates and a prohibition on debit network exclusivity. The interchange cap, which applies to issuers with at least $10 billion in assets, went into effect October 1, 2011. These large, “regulated” debit issuers are limited to a $0.21 plus 0.05% interchange fee per transaction, in addition to $0.01 to the extent that such issuers qualify for the fraud-prevention adjustment.
The cap on interchange rates has significantly reduced debit revenue; the average interchange rate for regulated issuers declined by 55 percent for signature transactions and by 28 percent for PIN transactions. Issuers’ interest in market growth has shifted from more costly signature debit transactions toward lower-cost PIN transactions. Additionally, issuers are seeking to increase small-ticket, cash-displacement transactions, since revenue is now primarily driven by the number of transactions rather than the amount spent.
“The impact of Reg. II is being felt most strongly by regulated entities,” said Inderpreet Batra, an Oliver Wyman partner who helped lead the Debit Issuer Study. “While interchange fees for regulated issuers declined by more than half for signature transactions, ‘exempt’ institutions took only a 3 percent hit – at least so far.” Exempt issuers’ gross margin per debit transaction is now more than double that of regulated institutions.
The new cap on debit interchange caused an 87 percent decline in the rate on business debit signature transactions. Business debit transactions were one of the key growth areas for issuers in prior years but are now unprofitable on a per-transaction basis for some issuers. Some issuers surveyed reported network fees that were almost equal to the effective interchange rate. As with consumer transactions, these effects are limited to regulated institutions.
Given the decline in revenue, there is much less interest in traditional issuer-funded debit rewards programs. Half of all regulated issuers with a rewards program terminated their program in the last year and another 18 percent plan to end or restructure their programs in 2012; another 40 percent do not have a rewards program and do not plan to introduce any kind of rewards proposition.
On April 1, 2012, all debit cards were required to participate in two unaffiliated debit networks. This requirement could be met by changing signature networks, adding an unaffiliated PIN network, or changing PIN networks. Almost all issuers in the study complied with the regulation by participating in an additional unaffiliated PIN network rather than performing an outright switch. The shift toward multiple networks provides routing choice to merchants and acquirers. Generally, issuers expressed concern about how the new network dynamics would play out.
Growth in the Debit Market
Seventy-six percent of consumers now have debit cards, up from 73 percent in 2010. The average active consumer debit cardholder spent $8,326 on their card in 2011, up from $7,781 in the prior year. The primary source of this increase was greater usage per card, with active users performing an average of 18.3 purchases per month compared with 16.3 per month in 2010.
The debit market is expanding at the low-end, with small-ticket transactions continuing to displace cash. While the average ticket on a debit transaction is $38, the median is just $19, with more than 30 percent of transactions now less than $10.
Consumer volume grew by 11 percent for signature transactions and 9 percent for PIN transactions, exceeding issuers’ expectations of 7 percent growth in both categories. In the year ahead, issuers expect the market to continue to grow across both consumer and business debit cards, with 15 percent growth in PIN transactions and 8 percent in signature transactions. Sixty-nine percent of regulated issuers and 76 percent of exempt FIs agreed that focusing on improving penetration, activation and usage for debit cardholders is key to growth in 2012.
About the Study
The 2012 Debit Issuer Study is the seventh installment in the study series. The study provides an objective fact base on debit card issuer performance and financial institutions’ outlook for the debit card business. Fifty-seven financial institutions – including large banks, credit unions and community banks – participated in the study, conducted by Oliver Wyman, a global leader in management consulting. Collectively, the participants issue 87 million debit cards and operate 47,000 ATMs. The sample is representative of the U.S. debit market in terms of institution type, location and debit network participation.

TIO Networks Launches TIO Connect to Simplify Onboarding for Bill Issuers and to open New Markets


~New platform provides billers easy access to TIO’s network of 60,000 payment locations and virtual payment channels including web and mobile~
VANCOUVER, British Columbia--()--TIO Networks Corp., (TSX-V: TNC) ("TIO"), North America's leading expedited bill payment company, has launched TIO Connect, a new Application Programming Interface (API) designed to make it easy and cost effective for bill issuers of any size to integrate into TIO’s network. With TIO Connect, utility, telecommunications, cable, finance and other billers can quickly launch services to enable consumers to pay bills at more than 60,000 self-serve kiosks and over-the-counter locations, or anytime via its mobile payment app.
“With this new solution TIO can now provide integration options for billers of any size, which will dramatically expand the number and types of biller partners we can service.”
“TIO Connect increases the scalability and efficiency of TIO’s bill payment services for new and existing biller partners,” said Hamed Shahbazi, Chairman and CEO of TIO Networks. “With this new solution TIO can now provide integration options for billers of any size, which will dramatically expand the number and types of biller partners we can service.”
TIO Connect enables billers to cost-effectively integrate with TIO’s payment infrastructure using their own development resources at their own pace. Alternatively, TIO Connect offers the option of contracting with TIO or one of its Independent Software Vendor (ISV) partners, ensuring instant access to development resources and rapid deployment.
Once integrated, billers can accept debit, credit or cash-based bill payments through any of TIO’s self-service bill pay kiosks or over-the-counter bill pay locations. Payments can be processed and remitted that day. TIO Connect also provides billers with instant visibility through TIO MobilePay - its iOS and Android mobile payment app.
“TIO can now better serve the needs of smaller bill issuers and open up new markets such as insurance, auto payments, rental housing and beyond,” said Rob Goehring, TIO’s Chief Marketing Officer. “For partners wishing to maintain their brand, TIO Connect also offers the option to deploy branded kiosk, clerk-assisted, web and mobile payment solutions. With these integration innovations being delivered efficiently and at lower cost, TIO can grow its market share.”

Smartphone Banking Capabilities Are Lacking, According to New Research from the Auriemma Consulting Group


LONDON--()--Smartphones are considered to be the singularly most engaging opportunity within the payment space, yet recent research by the Auriemma Consulting Group (ACG) suggests that banks have not kept up with consumer demand for enhanced smartphone apps and capabilities.
“Improving smartphone offerings has become necessary for issuers to stay on-par with the competition, and maintain consumer loyalty and engagement over upcoming years. Particularly as the payments industry delivers on consumer demand for mobile payments”
51.6% of UK consumers currently own a smartphone, and strong growth is forecasted to continue, with ownership expected to increase by at least 16% over the next two years. Consumers primarily use desktop/laptops to access financial services information, because limited capabilities are available on smartphones (65% of desktop owners vs. 23% of smartphone owners use their device to access their financial services account). The difference in capabilities is evident when comparing consumer usage of banking features across devices.
Smartphone Financial Services Capabilities Accessed:
  • Smartphone banking capabilities with a high penetration rate: Review account balances, view a selection of recent transactions and pay bills
  • Smartphone banking capabilities with a low penetration rate: Transfer money between accounts and/or to others, review details across multiple accounts, review full view account history and redeem rewards
“Given the continued growth forecasted and high consumer usage and engagement with smartphones, the research clearly shows that there are gaps in smartphone banking capabilities”, said Mark Jackson, Director at ACG. “Improving smartphone offerings has become necessary for issuers to stay on-par with the competition, and maintain consumer loyalty and engagement over upcoming years. Particularly as the payments industry delivers on consumer demand for mobile payments”.
