PayPal’s Shock to the world

Short Blog. I’m sorry for the delay on part 2 of the Govenance models for identity. I’m on my 14th update.. Will get out soon.

In the news today. PayPal’s Alex Chriss said ““There hasn’t been a lot to celebrate over the last few years. Innovation has been slow,” Chriss responded. “I love being an underdog. I will take all of that feedback and we’ll shock the world.”.

Shock is the right word.. Just not what Alex was hoping for as the stock dove 5% immediately after the announcement. IMHO the market reaction is spot on. I’ve spent 15 yrs in retailer data, offers, wallets and etc, founding Commerce Signals (now part of Transunion).

Merchants Tokenize – eCom Wallet Challenges

UPDATE – Nov 29 2022 – Note that I have conflated the relationship between SRC and 3DS 2.0. 3DS 2.0 is the authentication protocol used by SRC. 3DS 2.0 has been widely adopted as a mandatory replacement to 3DS 1.0. Part of the driver for adoption was the EU SCA mandate. SRC has NOT been widely adopted as it is a fairly broken consumer experience at the moment. 

I’m at M2020 today and it has been a “back to normal” fantastic event. Let me put my “merchant hat” on for a story from their perspective.
