The European Payments Council invites stakeholders to discuss about P2P mobile payments

Person to Person (P2P) mobile payments is becoming a growing topic of interest in the payment industry, and currently covers more than 50 local coexisting solutions. The European Payments Council announced that will organise a stakeholders workshop on 10 December 2015 in Brussels to facilitate the cooperation of existing and future P2P mobile solutions in order to ensure their pan-European interoperability.

The workshop will cover the following topics:
. The development of a set of rules and standards enabling pan-European mobile payment services.
. The governance structure responsible for the management of this set of rules.
. The creation of a harmonised method allowing P2P mobile payment data to be exchanged among P2P solutions (i.e., a ‘Standardised Proxy Lookup service’), so that any user can potentially reach any other user in Europe.
. Current and forthcoming data protection regulation which could affect interoperable P2P mobile payment solutions.

The event is free of charge and will be open to any stakeholder that can claim a relevant interest in the topic of P2P mobile payments. Stakeholders interested to contribute to the dialogue on pan-European interoperability between current and future P2P mobile payment solutions are invited to confirm their participation via sending an e-mail, including a brief description of their relevant interest, to P2Pmobile@epc-cep.eu before 30 October 2015 close of business.
