Goldman CEO: "Apple card is big, but it's also a beginning"

Hmmmm, Maybe if they issue a Mastercard that could solve the problem? Just a thought...

American Express blocks Curve

Similarly confused. I also don't get how Curve works, is it a Magstripe skimmer effectively like 'Coin' or a single 'Pan' that is used at POS and then a Real time payment between the corresponding, Mastercard/Visa/not Amex??

Three years on from Apple Pay launch, mobile wallets gain momentum

Huge conclusions drawn from tiny sample. 6000 people over 20 countries? So with an average sample of 300 people per country they publish a report?

"Lies, damn lies and paid for market research"

Barclays looks to 'click and collect' to revitalise the branch

Maybe if UK banks opened at times that meant customers could actually visit the branch this would 'revitalise the branch'. Turning it into a postal collection office which is also closed during the hours most want to visit is hardly going to help.

Current account switching flops

Could it be that most often the first question asked in the UK when you apply for a mortgage or credit card/loan is often 'how long have you been with your current bank'? UK consumers fear damaging their chance of approval so don't switch. Its not a technical problem but an educational one.

One in ten UK card transactions now contactless

How can 10% be interpreted as "clearly the preferred way to pay"? What about the other 90% (of card payments) that aren't contactless and the xx Billions in cash??
