About this listen
A grocery chain processing €80M annually pays €800K in card fees. With account-to-account payments, they'd pay €400K. That's €400K saved - every year.
Most business leaders use A2A payments daily without realising it. Mobile banking transfers, direct deposits, bank transfers for invoices - all A2A. But most don't know the same technology works at checkout, enabling customers to pay directly from their bank accounts instead of using cards.
This episode covers:
- How A2A payment initiation works across 7 methods
- QR code, NFC, payment link, text, barcode, BLE, and soundbite
- The payment flow from initiation to instant settlement
- Why merchants pay 0.5% flat vs 0.8-2.5% card fees
- The three infrastructure factors that made A2A practical for commerce now
- Real adoption curves: what to expect in months 1-3, 6-12, and years 2-3
- How cards and A2A coexist - and what even 20% A2A adoption means for payment economics
