Traditionally, the patron of this international e-commerce forum, the biggest in the Baltics, is Rietumu Bank.
As Victor Dostov notes, the next several years could be the start of global structural changes on the financial market. “The key event will be the adoption of a new payment directive of the EU, which will lead to changes in market verticality and new opportunities for payment intermediaries,” emphasises the expert.
The President of the Russian Electronic Money Association also drew attention to the rapid growth of cyber threats, which will inevitably result in technological reconstruction of the market, “This is one of the reasons for the growing interest in crypto technologies and the development of non-emission models adapted for the traditional financial system. The industry is getting ready for qualitative transformation."
