USAA sues Wells Fargo over remote deposit capture patents

Ketharaman, I am assuming your comment is toungue and cheek. This is like big banks filing blockchain patents. Patent trolls pure and simple.

Banks need open source to stay bleeding edge

Goldman Sachs is a pro at this. They are even better at using open source and contributing nothing back to the open source community. Just ask Sergey Aleynikov: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Aleynikov

US banks pay high price for cosying up to Apple

Hahahahah, nice comment Brett. Lets just say that the banks are lucky to have Apple and have a glimmer of hope of foiling MCX. Although, MCX may be to cause of its own undoing. 

The reasoning being that cards need revenue from interest charged on accounts that carry a balance. This compensates for fraud, chargebacks etc.. Merchants will not or can not take credit risk. Look at Target for a prime example.

Merchants also want to control data. But why? Think Sainsbury vs Tesco. Sainsbury used Nectar verse Tesco its own card. Guess which one is doing better today. Now guess which one controls its data. Lol.

Apple's request seems reasonable.
