Go on...top up my finger

Mobile wallets are mainstream…no they’re not…yes, they are… I want my NFC…what about a QR code or P2P? Tablets and smartphones, stored-value, account-to-mobile, don’t forget CARDS! Cash and cheques - your days are numbered…is there a date on that? Long live cash and cheques! Buyit, Pingit, Zapp-it, contactless sticker tap it, iTunes, Amazon…but I d...

You're not cool enough for mobile

As you can imagine, Sibos is a showcase for the dark suit (no matter the weather). You can see some fight against the greys, blacks and blues - the sharp tie, the custom made lining, the Day-Glo nail polish, patterned tights or snazzy heels. But by and large, the sober suit (for men and women) tends to win the sartorial challenge at shows like Si...

Bank or IT? - You Decide!

I don't know if you've noticed, but we've been upping our 'innovation' coverage over at Finextra Towers.

I've been to a fair amount of FinTech, financial services and payments conferences in my time. I once sat through one where an old man in a badly fitting suit read passages from the Payments Services Directive...line by line...(I still have flashbacks). However, outside of the non-stop party that is European banking regulations, nothing screams Fin...

What are banks for?

I had an interesting week last week. Not all of which was 'on the record' so to speak - Chatham House Rule and all that jazz. But I believe I can give ya’ll the gist of it. It started out with bankers confused about the future of banking. Then round the middle was a dinner with some investment banking folks entering the seventh stage of grief for t...

Disruption Rocks! There are loads of jobs in ... Warrington

So, the UK has woken up to, yet another, casualty on its high street. While the US is still sobbing into their glucose monitors at the loss of Twinkies, the UK is waving goodbye to suburban town centre identikit stalwarts such as camera retailer Jessops and CD dispenser HMV. (Thank God for Starbucks and William Hill or I'd never be able to find my...
