The way we think about money and payment is being disrupted. More non-banking players are entering the market and the number of digital payment solutions on offer is growing. This calls for a concerted effort to address issues such as interoperability, security and ease of technology integration.
W3C (The World Wide Web Consortium) was founded by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, with the mission of leading the Web to its full potential while ensuring it remains open and accessible to all. W3C develops standards underpinning the Open Web Platform, which offers tremendous potential as the driver behind the transformation of the Web Payment Industry.

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has now launched the Web Payments Working Group to help streamline the online “check-out” process and make payments easier and more secure on the Web.
