Security is a complicated and thorny topic in payments and commerce, because it means different things to different consumers. The most obvious threat is the one presented from the outside by cybercriminals, with the challenge of keeping checkout flows smooth while also making sure they are safe. But for different consumers, their main security worry isn’t about hackers – their problem is living paycheck to paycheck and figuring out how to become financially stable enough to feel financially secure. And yet for other consumers, security is about knowing what they are getting when the invest, and being able to feel confident that the ICO they are handing money to today will still exist tomorrow to pay out on that investment. And while the concerns are varied, at root they speak to the same problem: customers wanting to know where their money is and to have control over where it moves.
