PAYMENTS Session 3 Description: 
There are many new developments in the payments industry - EMV, NFC, open loop, closed loop, cloud-based services and financial aid reimbursement cards to name a few. Given that the transaction management system is a vital part of a university's service offering to its cardholders, what do you need to know to make good decisions for the next ten years? This session will discuss the pros and cons of cloud-based systems, mag stripe vs. contactless cards at the point of sale, phones for POS, open loop bank cards (VISA, MC, AMX and Discover), off-campus merchant programs, and EMV.
