EU, UK and India hand in hand with organisation wallets

V Parthasarathi has written very clearly about the path forward in his LinkedIn post. Noting that wallets for citizens are in various stages of rollouts in 100+ countries. I have for my part noticed that India has been moving resolutely forward already for some time. Now the the question is how much we in Europe could learn, possibly con

In Germany 84.7 billion euros is a lot of money.

The ice-hockey effect now with organisation wallets

Most of use here have seen how nothing much happens - even if it should - then nothing much happens, then nothing much happens, then nothing much.. and then all of a sudden the burst of adoption. For my part in e-banking starting in the early 80s, e-mail, mobile phones, SMS-messaging, mobile banking, e-id-services, e-invoicing, e-salary, mobile ...

FinTech is Empowering the Subprime Borrower

When it comes to consumer loans, a significant portion of the population finds itself cast adrift by traditional banks and lenders. Underserved by institutions that prefer to deal in tidy risk assessments rather than inconvenient complexities of unique spending habits, these individuals are slapped with the “subprime borrower” label due to past fi...

Why One-Time Digital Banking App Redesigns Fail

A frequent scenario I encounter as a UX expert in the financial sector is this: a financial executive overwhelmed by the digital transformation wave, asks, "How much does it cost to design a mobile banking app?" Underneath this question lies a critical misunderstanding. It’s not just about cost—it’s about creating a continuously evolving...

How often should you doubt?

If the person or organization, you encounter on the net is the one she/he/it claims to be? If the person – once recognized - has the right to act on behalf of an organization or another person? If a certificate, statement, permission, power of attorney the person or a robot present is real and still valid? If your own data can be sent to a service ...
