Bitcoin ATMs, Alfa-Bank Cases at the Confederations Cup, Cash Management in Retail, and other Topics for the October PLUS-Forum

The preparations for IX International PLUS-Forum “Cash Circulation + Self Service. Banking and Retail 2017” scheduled for October 4-5, are at the very height! 

The Forum will be dedicated to the current state and development prospects of cash circulation, banking and payment industry in Russia and globally. During the Conference 2017 world-class and national level experts will share their experience and inform about the results of the most ambitious and promising projects, highlight current problems and present their vision of the industry development.

Here are the most interesting topics of speeches and presentations to be delivered at the coming PLUS-Forum:

This year, the Forum (#cashforum) will pay special attention to one of the most pressing issues facing the banking community: the mid-term prospects of cash circulation. Whether the volume of cash transactions will drop or actually remain the same? Or, perhaps, it will demonstrate a certain increase recently shown in a number of countries?  And how do these tendencies get along with robotization, digitalization, crypto-currencies and further branch networks shrinking.

The focus will be on the most probable scenarios for the transformation of banking services and cash circulation, demanded by the modern society, new economic and business realia under the pressure of continuous digital banking development. The launch of new Rub200 and 2,000 banknotes scheduled for late 2017 will be widely discussed.  To this end, the Forum Organizers will pay special attention to the problems of adaptation of ATMs, terminal networks and sorting machines to the new notes. 

A separate session will be dedicated to the cash collection and counteraction to the criminal community activities. The Forum participants will analyze today’s cash management ecosystem and self-service banking infrastructure that ensure effective access of citizens to cash, and will share their ideas regarding the need of their further improvement.

Along with the PLUS-Forum conference, the most representative annual exhibition of specialized equipment and technologies from leading Russian and international companies will be open.
