- Fees Track - Fraud Track
14.00-15.00
The Great Fees Debate: To Fee or not to Fee?
Fees and surcharges are becoming more and more prevalent from the credit card companies and travel providers both- from surcharging credit card charges in Europe to credit cards charging 3% foreign transaction fees (and sometimes sharing this revenue with their travel co-brand partners!) on all foreign transactions, even those made in the cardholder's own currency. 
Chito Collins 14.00-14.05
Fraud Track Chairman's welcome
- Chito Collins, Signature Link
In the USA and other countries, government action on fees seems eminent, while Capital One, which charges no foreign transaction fee is gaining market-share as a result. What's the future of fees & surcharges and where can travel providers generate revenue from fees? Where will fees alienate their travel customers? Can travel providers leverage their credit card partners to reduce credit card fees?
Andrea Wilson 14.05-14.35

- Andrea Wilson, CEO, First Atlantic Commerce

Marc Berman 15.30-16.15
Panel Discussion: Ancillary Charges & Fees
Airlines and travel providers are unbundling their product to generate revenue which means they have added many small ancillary charges in multiple currencies that have to be collected and managed. 
15.30-15.50
Best practices for preventing fraud in the travel sector
- Nathan Wood, Managed Services Analyst, Cybersource
Payments were often left out of the decision-making process of adding ancillary charges. What are the payments challenges for implementing ancillary fees and how can they be best managed in terms of payment costs?
