DESCRIPTION:Matt Miller\, VP of EWS’s Paze product\, comes to PayCLT to discuss the vision and path forward for bank’s digital wallets\n\n\nPayCLT is excited to welcome Matt Miller\, EWS’s VP of the Paze digital wallet product\, to discuss the way forward for financial institutions to provide meaningful digital wallet customer experiences. \nOnline checkout has been a sticking point in the ecommerce engine for years\, and while merchant accounts with cards on file are a good alternate to keying in card details\, customers generally aren’t willing to create accounts at every merchant they use.

In this role\, he oversees the strategic trajectory\, development\, and growth of PazeSM\, a new digital payment method offered by banks and credit unions.

This vast domain is ripe for innovation\, especially since most groundbreaking developments have centered around credit card systems. In this webinar\, the visionaries behind Dropp\, Inc.

These alternatives challenge traditional card payment and stand as the most practical choice for everyday micropurchases\, both online and in-person payments”. \nSushil has been a technology leader\, innovator\, and entrepreneur for over 30 years. He is the CEO and co-founder of Dropp\, a digital micropayment platform.
