STORED
VALUE: CHALLENGING THE CREDIT CARD PARADIGM
On March 2 and 3, 2004, The
PELORUS Group
will host a special conference designed solely to explore how emerging stored
value initiatives will impact prepaid, debit and credit card offerings, and what
credit card issuers, financial institutions, banks, carriers and platform
providers should be planning for over the next critical months.
With developments hitting this relatively young market at a rapid-fire
clip, a sense of urgency swirls around unresolved questions as to the extent and
sustainability of stored value’s spread.
Of particular importance: What
do players need to do today to capitalize on the stored value phenomenon to
position their offerings – and organizations – more competitively over the
long term?
Entitled “Stored
Value: Challenging The Credit Card Paradigm”, this exclusive
conference will convene at the world-renowned Hilton New Orleans Riverside
Hotel, in New Orleans, LA. Leading
organizations from around the world will be joining The
PELORUS Group
and an unprecedented array of industry luminaries for the industry’s first
stored value event that is wholly independent and unbiased. Topics slated for discussion include:
·
Many players still are reluctant to fully embrace stored
value. But one thing is clear:
The migration to stored value solutions will intensify.
As the market heats up, those left waiting on the sidelines stand to lose
more than just market share. How are key organizations currently deploying
stored value initiatives? What is
the outlook for 2004, 2005 and beyond?
·
What is the impact of stored value on prepaid telecom
vendors, retailers, the financial industry, and companies that currently serve
the unbanked and credit challenged?
·

industry? How will banking
institutions be effected? What are
the costs associated with credit cards vs. stored value cards? What about
customer loyalty, gift cards, and convenience cards?
What is the ultimate significance of the recent Visa/MasterCard
settlement with Wal-Mart? What is at risk, and why?
·
In which consumer market segments is stored value registering
its greatest penetration, and Why? How
is that likely to change over the next critical 24 months?

the credit/debit paradigm. What are

timetable will be involved?

Prepaid telephony may ultimately prove to be one of the
biggest beneficiaries of stored value. What
is it that carriers must do to ensure capitalizing on this trend?
How can stored value improve a carrier’s ability to offer prepaid
solutions?

Early success stories of stored value resonate across
industry lines. What are some of
the early pioneers encountering in terms of product resistance and success
ratios? What are the revenues being

How large are the consumer and business segments, and what is
the potential associated with each?
·
How do the various stored value offerings compare to one
another? What about track record,
experience, the ability to marry product to demographic? Who is leading the
way, and how? How do these
companies measure up against traditional debit/credit card benchmarks?

What are the short and long-term issues and opportunities
associated with stored value?
·
Stored value as a debit solution will generate new revenue
streams for institutions. The trick
is getting there. What is the best
