The Silver Lining in Greater Regulation

With the dust settling on Reg. E, the regulation that requires U.S. banks and credit unions to get their customers to opt-in for overdraft protection, it looks like banks’ revenue will not fall all that much because a surprisingly high number of customers, particularly habitual offenders, said they needed the facility. Seems that everyone went awa...

What do you use to pay a credit card thief?

As I read this piece about a teenage cybercrime forum founder being jailed, the above thought came in to my head - "what do the credit card thieves use to pay each other online?".

Searching questions needed

1. Do we in EU – widely enough - realize that preserving the living standards of today and having more to share to those who need help - is totally dependent on how competitive our enterprises are? 2. Do we – widely enough - realize that markets are global and open and Europe is not faring well in the competition? Exporting both jobs and high te...

Save 50-75bn with e-procurement

Deutsche Bank report: “There is huge savings potential – but beware of outlandish claims. A conservative back-of-the-envelope calculation suggests that a full switch to e-procurement may save between EUR 50 to 75 bn on public procurement in the EU per year. On top of that are increases in transparency and public accountability which are arguably t...

iPad 2 takes the tablet game up a notch.

The Apple iPad 2 was launched by the so-called "rockstar CEO" Steve Jobs today in San Francisco to a broad reception of live blogging, tweeting and "cloud" participation online.

The innovative world of UK payments

UK politicians often accuse the banks of failure to innovate in payments. The UK Payments Council was at least partly created and empowered to change this position but has so far failed to make its presence felt. So what's gone wrong? Firstly, the basic premise is deeply flawed. The UK payments industry is very innovative. Over the last twenty y

Freedom to bank via mobile?

I remember when I first became involved in online banking we had to ensure the site was optimised for very low bandwidth connections. One of my very earliest deployments the bank actually went live with their online banking service connected to the web with nothing more than a 56k modem - so the optimisation had to work both ways.
