Power Payment Panel with BAMS, Thomas Waters, to Speak at eCommerce Meetup: Wednesday September 10th

NEW YORK - Sept. 9, 2014 - PRLog -- New York, NY, September 9, 2014  --  Thomas Waters, the Director of Sales at BAMs.com, will be talking about the future of payment aggregators such as PayPal at the ‘Power Payment Panel’ New York eCommerce Group Meetup. The Meetup will take place on September 10th, 2014 from 7-10 PM at the Brokers Heaven Loft Space at 333 Park Avenue South, Suite 5B, and will feature a power panel on payment that will cover everything you need to know about online payments for your e-Commerce websites.

Other speakers at the meetup will include Mauricio Rubio, Director of Business Development at DrJays, who will be speaking about the future of online payment methods.

About Thomas Waters:Since 2001, Tom Waters has helped several thousand CEOs, CTOs, and CFOs organize their payment protocol, accelerate cash flow, and reduce expenses. In recent years, Tom has grown a bootstrapped startup payments firm to over one billion dollars in annual transaction volume, attaining Inc 5000 status in 2014.

In his spare time, he co-authors a bi-weekly column in a payments publication, reaching over a million readers monthly on topics such as e-commerce, startup development, sales tactics, and technology disruptors. In the meet-up, he will also be speaking about what charges are associated with certain payment methods, and the necessary steps that need to be taken in order to reduce fraud.

With the rise of mobile wallets, peer-to-peer payment, micro lending and various personal finance tools, the banking industry faces a new breed of competitors from the technology industry. Notable examples include eBay which has been in the payment space for a long time with PayPal, and is now strengthening its foothold in mobile payment by integrating Apples fingerprint reader into PayPal. A commoditization of payment processing will also require new business models where cash is no longer king.
