CINCINNATI, Nov. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Vantiv, Inc.
(NYSE: VNTV), a leading provider of payment processing services and

Industry experts, Peter Kulik,
vice president of product strategy at Vantiv, and Ken Paterson, head of research operations at
Mercator Advisory Group, will explore how financial institutions
and merchants can position themselves to meet consumers'
expectations about mobile payments, prepaid, EMV and other new
technologies.
"Our research shows there is a major disconnect between which
emerging technologies consumers expect to use and what financial
institutions and retailers are prepared to adopt," said Kulik. "The
good news is – research by Vantiv provides valuable insights into
ways businesses can bridge this gap and position themselves for
success."
In 2012, Vantiv commissioned Mercator Advisory Group to conduct
confidential interviews with 35 top executives at financial
institutions and Tier 1 retailers. By overlaying the resulting data
with its primary consumer research, Vantiv has identified the most
prominent company–consumer discrepancies and areas for business
opportunity. These insights, to be revealed on the
Nov. 28 webinar, provide a clearer
picture of the changing payments landscape.
Key findings to be discussed on the webinar include:
- What's keeping executives up at night? The top fears financial
institutions, merchants and consumers have about emerging payment
technologies,
- How evolving capabilities are making mobile payments and
eWallets more compelling for consumers,
- Why financial institutions think merchants should lead the
mobile charge and the converse,
- The gap between consumer uses and business marketing of prepaid
cards,
- How the impending rollout of EMV technology is a source of
anxiety for merchant executives and how consumers view this
transition.
Webinar attendees will have the opportunity to download the
Executive Thinking on Payment Opportunities white paper, which
