BHETA to host Worldpay webinar on smarter payment solutions

 

BHETA will host 'Supporting Smarter Payment Solutions with Worldpay', on 3 September at 10am,  a webinar exploring how businesses can review their current payment setup, identify opportunities for improvement and make more informed decisions about their payment strategy.

 

The session will feature Farish Lakhani, Senior Sales Executive at Worldpay who 

will provide an overview of the current payments landscape. The session will explore practical steps businesses can take to assess their existing arrangements and uncover potential efficiencies across card processing and payment acceptance. Topics covered will include:

  • Key trends influencing UK payments and changing customer payment preferences 
  • Payment acceptance solutions across ecommerce, in-store and omnichannel environments 
  • The role of reporting, analytics and insights in improving payment performance 
  • Security, compliance and fraud prevention considerations 
  • Identifying opportunities to streamline payment operations and reduce costs 

Through Worldpay’s partnership with BHETA, members can also benefit from exclusive support, including a free commercial review, preferential member pricing, no setup or joining fees, and access to specialist payment consultancy.

The webinar will conclude with a Q&A session, allowing attendees to discuss specific payment challenges and explore potential solutions with Worldpay specialists.  To register visit https://www.bheta.co.uk/events/supporting-smarter-payment-solutions-with-worldpay

 

Steve Richardson, BHETA’s General Manager commented: With payment technology, customer expectations and commercial pressures continuing to evolve, businesses are looking for ways to make their payment processes more efficient while controlling costs. But it’s not always easy to know whether your current setup is working as efficiently as it could be. This session with Worldpay will give businesses the opportunity to understand the options available, explore where improvements could be made and take away practical ideas to help make their payment processes work harder for them.”
