i was i'm delighted but at the same time uh usually
00:00:04
a shocked uh when manuel oscar show hands uh earlier on
00:00:08
a in a in the morning and and there were
00:00:11
several of us not that many we put our hands up in the private sector but i think before
00:00:15
and i will start my token and uh it would be wonderful to see more private sector
00:00:20
involvement and and clearly asking raising the issue yeah is very important uh to see that
00:00:26
there is a role for the private sector to play uh i think it's uh it's vital that that teasing coverage to and hopefully
00:00:32
uh the next time we meet whether that's next month or next year the maybe some additional
00:00:36
a private sector attendees i certainly hope so thank you very much leaf uh inviting i think it's
00:00:41
uh important uh given that there are so few private sector place here today it to actually share a little bit
00:00:47
at for the first minister to uh as to why most got is here what most decode actually does
00:00:53
many of you may have one in your wallets please don't stop using them um
00:00:58
but at the same time that really is a a very limiting definition of what
00:01:02
mastercard is it's not a card company it's very much a a technology company
00:01:06
uh and possibly technology that we're actually able to
00:01:09
implement in humanitarian sector feeds from the development
00:01:13
of local business which inevitably is trying to find additional ways to see the needs
00:01:18
uh and demands of the of the population citizens around the globe
00:01:23
this to remain a the figure varies but it hovers around two billion
00:01:28
who uh citizens around the world who remained on blanked uh what least under
00:01:33
banked uh by which i mean have very limited access to financial services
00:01:38
and what about goals obviously is to try and ensure that we have a role
00:01:41
to play in encouraging that uh and technology has a part to play
00:01:45
uh we do believe that we have a responsibility to use our technology is as a force for good
00:01:51
uh it is however important to recognise now i think this is something that gradually
00:01:55
is seeping through a into the consciousness uh that it is a commercial operation
00:02:00
uh i'll say that once all we do have to make a profit
00:02:04
and private sectors cannot thrive cannot sustain their involvement in humanitarian activity
00:02:10
uh unless there is profit unless there is a commercial operation that's said
00:02:15
we are in a position on a very strong position uh a fortunate position that we do
00:02:19
have separate uh entities within mastercard uh that are able to focus on humanitarian activity
00:02:26
uh so we have the centre for inclusive growth that we have humanity benches which is annually a
00:02:31
big um half a billion pound a half a
00:02:34
billion dollar funded organisation focusing purely on ensuring
00:02:39
that the core activity of ma stick out based on the technology is applicable
00:02:44
to the humanitarian sector uh and to build links with humanitarian organisations
00:02:50
uh we do have significant links with governments with n. g. o.s uh with donors
00:02:55
uh and in many cases those links are increasingly important to the work that we do
00:03:01
that said we still obviously have to ensure that we have a what
00:03:05
we call a blended approach a to a gem humanitarian aid
00:03:09
that part of it is the top technology point is operations part of it is expertise uh and
00:03:14
food leadership exception that but it was made in that we're in a position to use
00:03:19
uh if you like the ah skill or knowledge of technology or experience
00:03:24
uh to provide solutions for apartments challenges and that's ultimately what we're trying to do
00:03:29
is to provide solutions uh and where we're in a position to respond
00:03:34
to those needs a then we're able to develop solutions specifically
00:03:38
uh it's no use there is no point us developing solutions which may
00:03:43
well be applicable uh in the western world in the developed world
00:03:47
for the manuals uh who actually have got significant uh understanding keen this and at
00:03:53
adaptability to new technology if they're not applicable to the situations that so
00:04:00
was my time up but not have much more to get uh where was uh uh uh technology
00:04:07
the technology and that said uh you know the the idea of a
00:04:11
prime that straight away in humanitarian uh arenas it just is
00:04:16
not appropriate so what we have to do is listen to understand what the needs are of that he manages a humanitarian place
00:04:23
uh such as yourselves uh and a little products that are based on that
00:04:26
a recent one which actually does go back a euro true now
00:04:30
uh it's it's not immediately uh up to date uh uh and
00:04:35
uh the leading tech age technology is master card eight
00:04:40
uh another most got a net work is essentially that for deployment in those
00:04:45
areas where there is no network uh and uh and of services
00:04:50
that would allow such additional payment system to operate so it's very much involved in the local merchants
00:04:56
it involves a an off line interface it involves close luke also went into that diesel
00:05:02
uh but essentially means that uh recipients can actually
00:05:05
choose and select items uh using a card
00:05:09
using a a graphic interface that can actually point uh
00:05:13
and identify their needs a on a tablet
00:05:16
uh and using the it that much is themselves to been involved and you are signed up to the scheme
00:05:22
replicates very similarly uh the idea of actually using cards as cash
00:05:27
so it enables us to have a response particularly weather is uh in the median age
00:05:33
and whether our uh goods and services goods unkind robin cash
00:05:38
it allows us to actually deploy very quickly now we've been working with
00:05:41
the i. r. c. with say the children with that world vision
00:05:44
uh and that must accommodate network has been deployed in over half a dozen markets yemen philippines
00:05:50
nigeria a huge yeah ethiopia uh and we would like to see more that continuing
00:05:55
but it is a very specific response technology to knee rather than
00:05:59
us going in developing technology that that may not be applicable
00:06:04
and challenges still exist and i want again just to sort of reach right that there are significant challenges
00:06:11
uh as intruder mentioned in fact i was very grateful that uh under the mention
00:06:15
'cause it means that i can spend less time on the but the reason
00:06:18
considerable amounts of uh effort needed intensive collaboration that allows
00:06:22
the private sector then to deal with uh
00:06:26
smaller numbers fewer processes fuel individual challenges
00:06:30
uh around the world now we're not saying that one a
00:06:33
one size fits all one deployment fits every single opportunity
00:06:37
exactly the right tools for every single uh uh eventuality but the
00:06:41
idea that there should be an can be much greater collaboration
00:06:45
between the humanitarian ends at between the government's between you and yours
00:06:48
exception would be a huge huge huge benefit to us
00:06:52
our core business was to go on developing tools uh and if my own particular
00:06:58
area in terms of europe uh is developing tools that are useful for
00:07:03
everything from car parking to disability access a humanitarian uh
00:07:08
eight as far as uh your 'cause concern certainly
00:07:11
is very much more focused on refugees and refugee deployment and that is much more focused on
00:07:16
uh again uh as and when i mentioned a large scale you
00:07:19
know h. c. l. programs that deploy a cash into turkey
00:07:23
that said there are significant additional technological uh opportunities maybe
00:07:29
interesting that they will be mention already this morning which is a which is uh just as well um early enough otherwise people have nothing
00:07:35
left to talk about by the end of the day but the technology
00:07:37
we've actually working very closely on sydney does involve by metrics
00:07:42
uh identification of those who are entitled to aid
00:07:46
uh oh this is not our responsibility we will respond uh and under the age where applicable
00:07:52
to those who have been deemed appropriate and for those who have the the authorisation however
00:07:57
when it comes down to buy metrics we we have deployed and we already have
00:08:03
for example cots that actually do rely on by magic uh uh of education
00:08:09
so you would take i would demonstrate um got one here but you take your
00:08:12
college you would normal standard a card with an additional by magic chip
00:08:17
once those by magic each other been added at the point of verification at the point of identification
00:08:24
back she then is processed and that then becomes your validation for any payments that
00:08:30
you may make either in terms of cashing out as an h. t. m.
00:08:34
all in terms of much and uh spending as well so you would place your thumb literally on the chip
00:08:40
and that then validates not only who you are who you should be uh but also
00:08:45
slightly more colour bipolar joyous but actually ensuring that there is proof of life
00:08:49
because inevitably a and this is particularly the case uh
00:08:53
in some or applications that you tried so far
00:08:56
can take several months if not longer for uh the the right to funds
00:09:03
to be close down to somebody who has died uh and whilst again it's not up to
00:09:07
the present topic but the whole family detail can be entered on to that chip
00:09:12
uh the series of chips these days that are being developed by caught
00:09:15
manufactures will allow such a huge amount of data to go on
00:09:19
uh so family details ages special needs that we spoken early this morning about the need to have
00:09:25
uh all of those individual needs met and that then allows for particular targeting benefits
00:09:30
so using a biometric caught not just registering by magically
00:09:34
details to have a national identity program but actually
00:09:38
following that through logically to have a by magically a will for eyes
00:09:42
caught will ensure that benefits uh going to the right people
00:09:48
a couple more that were actually involving increasingly involving in in terms of of
00:09:53
a technology and trends in fact uh i did hear that you mention
00:09:57
that the work you are coded so they're uh uh q. okay it's for those of the i'm sure because what you okay it is
00:10:03
uh but actually ensuring that eight not only benefits the individual
00:10:07
but also recognises that there are significant opportunities
00:10:11
by encouraging uh refugees and migrants to
00:10:17
return to the sorts of businesses that they had uh when they're in a row countries of origin
00:10:22
they can be a huge benefit to the host nations at they can actually start micro businesses
00:10:27
uh they can start an integrated with existing businesses they can employ people
00:10:31
not just members of the family but members outside that as well
00:10:35
q. okay this is a simple way using mobile technology as well to ensure the merchant can accept payments
00:10:41
and so rather than actually having a a costly then of that cost to
00:10:45
build a costly card reader uh they can actually have simply a stick
00:10:49
of one seven rolled once it had the sticky uh produced with a
00:10:53
a barcode at your code uh and that will then enable individuals
00:10:58
whether they are refugees whether they are short term or long term
00:11:02
to have the ability to actually go and buy products
00:11:05
from the actions it encourages merchants to sign up uh and it's the technology again that is actually increasing the common
00:11:11
uh it also allows has a a pot of master card with issuing backs
00:11:17
to look more closely at micro credit for example and was these are not necessarily
00:11:22
revolutionary technologies they on new trends that are actually increasingly important to ensure
00:11:28
small independent micro merchants they maybe just coffee shops the maybe seems just as the maybe
00:11:34
had just as the maybe whatever in a previous slide but it allows them to return to that role and allows
00:11:39
him to accept funds uh in the manner but they are big big given that which may well be electronically
00:11:45
uh i'm trying to ensure that that uh something that benefits must have
00:11:49
both the host nation and the individual uh recipients as well
00:11:53
uh increasingly a new t. v. and you'll be glad to hear increasingly uh particularly in europe
00:12:01
and that will then set the trend for around the world in asia and africa
00:12:05
a financial legislation uh and now i i won't bore you with uh i don't keep you wait
00:12:11
whether that's b. s. d. two with its basel three there are number of financial services regulations
00:12:16
which last increasing the level of regatta and the level of control
00:12:20
also lower the barriers to entry for financial operators and financial services
00:12:25
and this i think would actually ensure not only the costs come
00:12:29
down uh and i've heard figures is of a a
00:12:32
quite rightly or a seven percent being raised a as a
00:12:35
ludicrous forget that for processing and payment uh um
00:12:40
but actually will have the costs come down berries twenty to reduce and new technologies to be more responsive
00:12:46
uh whilst with the best within the well with nothing comes down and hits me from above mastercard is a large organisation
00:12:52
there are significant number of uh of possibly nimbus more organisations uh who i can
00:12:58
see in the future uh my crystal ball also is quite cloudy uh
00:13:03
coming into the for a a a and actually working to to develop a solutions for you
00:13:08
uh and again the the whole uh area is actually looking for solutions to support
00:13:14
uh my last point really really relates again to something that has
00:13:17
been mentioned before but increasingly uh increasing advances in data analysis
00:13:24
now we could in kind and even with cash cash that i'm not sure if that's actually a
00:13:29
thing uh as opposed electronic cash uh it's very difficult in fact if not impossible to measure
00:13:36
we uh uh the impact and effect efficacy inefficiency all of those disbursements
00:13:42
increasingly as payment some made electronically and and for us again
00:13:46
it doesn't matter were involved in all of these
00:13:48
areas whether it's digital whether it's three mobile phone payments
00:13:52
whether it's three cards with us through electronic transfers
00:13:55
uh we we have a hand to supporting all of those areas uh but
00:13:58
the ability to actually have not only the collection of data but importantly
00:14:02
the analysis and insight from that data uh will ensure that day that
00:14:06
it that it is going to the right how to write people
00:14:10
for the right and the time uh and is directed again at those organisations
00:14:15
that can support best um in terms of targeting uh i mentioned earlier
00:14:20
the the the value is ensuring targeting but importantly for joan is the government's is also
00:14:26
in terms of the efficiency the impact uh of those uh of those disbursements
00:14:31
uh and not least the ability to audit uh appropriately not sure of that money spent is money well spent
00:14:39
um i think that's probably uh about it at this stage uh i'm obviously happy to answer
00:14:45
any questions uh but in terms of technology i would say again as a final somehow
00:14:51
we oh there and we are prepared and we always looking at building technology
00:14:56
at but it does tend and this is unusual i suspect at for
00:15:00
private company uh to be more reactive unresponsive to your needs
00:15:07
clearly that needs more dialogue clearly that needs us to be
00:15:11
a involved uninvited uh and to help on the stand
00:15:15
help us understand where those challenges are so that we can come up
00:15:19
with things that relate specifically to your needs with that is
00:15:23
uh whether in a network or services whether it's in reducing
00:15:27
the prices they're costing remittances a little there's there is
00:15:31
that can be done we are working fine advance when looking
00:15:34
up even working alongside a lot chain adoption mentioned earlier
00:15:39
this morning channel to block changes that it's actually it does need a a network to support which is always gonna render
00:15:46
um selectively useful uh but at the same time it operates on the de centralise white
00:15:52
uh and so the the potential he job applications for that as
00:15:55
well uh and were involved and discussing those opportunities to
00:15:59
uh so thank you very much indeed uh uh again not much uh in
00:16:04
the way of a radical new gizmos that acts as a word
00:16:08
the the understands radical new uh gizmos that people might see
00:16:12
but clearly at the development of technology as a technology company
00:16:17
uh is at the forefront of what we do hopefully we're in a position to
