As payments become faster and more commoditized, differentiation now comes from experience. Rohit Sharma explores how teams can use payments as a foundation for deeper engagement, unlocking loyalty, rewards, and meaningful customer insights rather than treating transactions as endpoints.
Through real-world examples from payments and open banking, Rohit breaks down what experience-first product design looks like in practice. Attendees will learn which metrics truly matter, adoption, retention, and transaction value, and how focusing on them drives both customer satisfaction and business growth.
