"Streamlined European payment options and reduced red tape remain work in progress"
In her role as Head of DACH at Trustly, Victoria Maier is driving the push for accelerated global adoption of account-to-account (A2A) payments in the DACH region and Europe. Maier believes that payment solutions must become more secure, faster, and convenient, while reducing bureaucracy and increasing the availability of European payment methods [1][3].
Maier's vision extends beyond just A2A payments. She sees the need for seamless integration of payment processes as part of a broader digital ecosystem to enable better user experiences and industry innovation. This approach aims to transform payments to be more aligned with changing consumer expectations and digital trends, positioning Trustly as a pivotal player to scale A2A payments across Europe, including the DACH countries [1][3].
Maier recognises that while fintech-driven revolutions have taken place, there is still considerable work ahead in reducing complexity and enhancing diversity and financial education in the sector. She emphasises that these are key to a sustainable future for banking and payments in the region [3].
The speaker is also committed to ensuring that women in the finance and fintech industry face less discrimination. In her spare time, she networks with other women in the industry for support and guidance [2].
Outside of her professional life, Maier is an avid learner, spending her free time perfecting gluten-free recipes, learning French, exploring new sports, and Berlin studios [4][5]. For everyday payments, she relies on the convenience of Apple Pay at supermarkets [6].
