Loyalty and banks: a marriage of convenience?

The results of a survey released by Valassis this week revealed that almost a third of US consumers don’t feel any loyalty to their bank, with 10% of respondents planning to switch their bank within a year. If we compare this to the UK, where consumers are more likely to get divorced than switch bank, the apparent disparity in loyalty across the p...

Cardless cash transactions: the future of ATMs?

We all have days where we don’t remember important things like keys or wallets. Recently I had one of those days. I had run out of the house in a rush and, at lunch, I realised I had forgotten my purse. Not a big problem, I hear you say - we have Apple Pay now after all! However, as my local supermarket didn’t accept contactless payments, it proved...

Transport: The driving force behind contactless payments in the UK

It has been well documented that the transport industry has been the driving force behind contactless cards in the UK, with Transport for London being instrumental in both their adoption and acceptance on its tube and bus networks.

Mobile banking is often pushed to the bac...

Has the adoption of contactless really spurred the UK to spend more on cards?

Contactless bank cards really started to take off in the UK in 2014, with banks issuing more contactless-enabled cards than ever before and more merchants installing networks that could accept them. 2014 saw transactions totalling £2.32 billion made on the cards, a 255% increase compared to 2013.

Missing: A great mobile banking experience

Increasing numbers of UK consumers are downloading mobile banking apps and utilising them for everyday financial transactions, whether checking balances or transferring money between accounts. Research from CACI and the BBA suggests that customers will use their mobile device to check their current accounts 895 million times in 2015 in the UK, mor...

Putting a nail in the cashless society advocate’s coffin

Now, don’t get me wrong, I am a fan of all payment methods - I believe there is a place in society for each of them. I am particularly enamoured with my contactless card, and get annoyed when I’ve already put my card into the POS terminal before realising I could have just tapped the screen. And mobile payments make my life easier, whether making ...
