Counter Point to 'Banks are Struggling with Email'

John Safa's opinion piece entitled 'Banks are struggling with email' presented a single lens to the topic. Here is an alternative viewpoint. Banks are not 'struggling' with email, indeed they are increasingly embracing the reach and ubiquity of email as a core communication tool for the always-on world. It is almost impossible to engage with elect...

Google, Digital Mailboxes and the long tail of eBilling

I'm actively following the PR hype about Digital Mailboxes (you know - one place to get/save all my financial documents) – just waiting for Google (through Gmail) to announce its intentions in this space. Indeed, I'm somewhat perplexed that it hasn't already done so. Perhaps it's just following a similar strategy to Volly (that has again postponed...

Moven to wind down consumer unit as spin-off funding withdrawn

Brett - I wish you all the best with the primary strategy.- The number of established businesses that will hit the wall due to this black swan event will be astronomical and leave a swath of individual misery and destruction. If you can keep the team together and act with kindness and compassion it will be long remembered.

Email isn’t fit for purpose for sending confidential information

Hi John, I have penned a counter point to your views on email in banks.

Whereas your views may be focused on the use of email internally - my views are focused on the use of email externally.

regards - Mike

Google preps Gmail bill payment feature

Being in a business that already sends email bills to Gmail customers - I believe that this would be a great service, however having asked 10 different Googlers about this, it would seem that it is buried deep in the back corridors and not yet close to being a public offering, a 'concept' is a better description.

Manilla, Zumbox and Doxo all found that working with billers to get data in a uniform format is problematic - as is trying to find a business model to make this work. Potentially having alternative motives for gathering the data (i.e. to better target ads to the customers) could be a better idea than charging the billers for the pleasure.
