Are bank tellers an endangered species?

When I recently spoke to a young family acquaintance who had taken a job as a bank teller, it got me thinking about the changing nature of that role, and its future prospects. Particularly as I recalled a couple of news articles on Finextra recently, such as Bank of America tellers petitioning their bosses to cease the roll-out of video teller ATM...

P2P lending in Australia

It's been stop-start, but there are signs of growth. Reading Simon Strong's Finextra blog post about growing overheads as P2P lenders mature and become more regulated, and Dan Barnes' post about the growing involvement of traditional banks, got me thinking about the development of the P2P lending sector in Australia. There has been no shortage of...

Revisiting Bitcoin - initial experience and questions

I first read about Bitcoin a number of years ago, and was intrigued. I scanned Satoshi Nakamoto's initial whitepaper that kicked it all off, and looked into the burgeoning scene emerging around Bitcoin mining - generating the proof-of-work required to discover a particular hash value to generate a new valid coin by expending CPU power and electric...

It's hard to pick a winner in the future of payments

PayPal has been doing a fair bit of engagement over the past 5 years with its burgeoning developer community and reaching out to start-ups, as you would expect from any mature, successful Silicon Valley company. In its most recent program it is itself nominating candidate startups to receive up to $50,000 in waived processing fees by way of suppor...

Chinese banks happy with 12-year-old browser

PCs are the forgotten platform for Chinese banks, who are focusing development efforts on the mobile channel and leaving desktop users reliant on Internet Explorer 6. For anyone involved in web development, having to support multiple older browsers is a constant hassle. And Internet Explorer 6, with its lack of support for modern web standards and...

Sometimes you've got to force convenience on people.

I've got a confession to make. I still sign my signature with a pen when I use my credit card. I don't have to, and I really shouldn't. I've been writing about technology, banking and payments on and off for about 15 years. I consider myself fairly digital savvy, I like gadgets, and I went through the whole transition to Chip and Pin when I was liv...

Is that a worm in my ATM?

When ATM vendors got behind Windows XP as a replacement for IBM’s OS/2 as it neared the end of its shelf life 10 years ago, there was a predictable flurry of concern. And instinctively, the concerns made sense. Why would you use the most popular and most targeted all-purpose PC operating system to run such a machine with very specific functions and...

Aussie real-time payments gaining momentum

It’s going to be a busy few years ahead for payments transformation in Australia. The announcement last week that EFTPOS, the electronic point of sale debit card network, was moving away from bilateral links to embrace a central hub model with FIS comes on top of industry moves to finalise by the end of the year plans to implement a real-time payme...
