We are particularly proud that Bancontact Payconiq Company plays a leading role in the new association as a founding member. We firmly believe that collaboration between successful domestic systems can make the life of the consumer and the merchant much easier. Our goal is that consumers use their preferred, reliable local app to pay abroad. We are confident that working together under the umbrella of the association will promote interoperability of mobile payment solutions and will build a true European alternative, so important for the European economy.

We believe that together with the EMPSA and the other associates we can play a key role in fostering interoperability as well as collaboration among payments actors in Europe favoring the growth of the payments ecosystem in general. This will make it possible to better satisfy European customers’ needs and expectations.

Bankart's expectation from joining EMPSA is to actively cooperate in establishing European interoperability for mobile payments. Because we strongly believe Instant Payments initiated over mobile channels will be the new normal and have the potential to displace cash we have together with Slovenian banks set out in building an Ecosystem in which Flik scheme plays a significant role. Flik scheme enables interoperability of different solutions and addresses open questions when initiating mobile payments in P2P and P2M scenarios in Slovenia. To fully benefit from mobile payments similar arrangements are required on European level and we want to play an active role in this.
