Pre-Conference Seminars Currency Optimising the Cash Cycle through Local Recirculation and Recycling Monday 3 February 2025 | Afternoon

While the use of digital payments, including mobile phone payments, is increasing fast across the EMEA region, the overall use of cash remains high and it continues to be a vital payment instrument.

However, the world is changing and there are significant opportunities to manage cash differently, in particular through local recycling and recirculation, ie. closest to where the cash is needed and used.

The use of machinery to issue and deposit cash is increasing at every point in the cash cycle. The ability to capture, store, share and analyse data is being revolutionised. Standardisation of packaging, reporting and data is driving efficiency. Business models are not standing still. Sustainability is on the agenda. All of this feeds into the opportunities to handle cash closer to the customer, reducing costs, increasing efficiencies and resilience and promoting sustainability.

THE CASH AND ENT ENVIRONMion and circulat Cash Cycle Re ing: Local Recycl Practice to y lic Po m fro

This seminar is based on a new white paper – Cash Recirculation and Local Recycling: from Policy to Practice – and brings together a range of stakeholders to discuss the challenges and opportunities, with reallife examples of how new models of cash distribution can enhance more universal and cost-effective access to and acceptance of cash.

Identity ID – Impact of AI in Identity Documents

Monday 3 February 2025 | Morning AI-powered technologies help solve complex problems and make our daily lives easier and more convenient. While this is true for legitimate business, it is also true for fraud.

Computer programs trained to produce works of art or write news stories could replace the work of human artists and journalists. In the same way, these tools are rapidly replacing traditional forgery techniques and putting sophisticated fraud in the hands of less skilled fraudsters.

In this seminar, we will look at case studies of AI-assisted document fraud from remote IDV (Identity Document Verification) and ask what we can do to combat this very real threat in an increasingly virtual world.
