Payments - A new world in dawning

If you haven't yet stopped to notice that the payment industry is at the onset of a remarkable change - then this is just about time. If the hundreds of on-going experimental projects in various central and commercial banks are going to finish well - the face of the industry will not be the same as how we know it today. The very concept of money a...

Fault lines in the Modern Financial System

It brings me grief when I hear people refer to CBDC as being just another form of digital money or just another mobile application for making payments when in reality there is a world of difference with CBDC being sovereign money (as is notes and coins) controlled and guaranteed by central bank and backed by assets, once upon a time gold itself, ...

Ease of making payments vs speed of making payments

I was 30 miles away from Bangalore City, in a quite village, ordering for red-bricks from a nearby brick factory over phone. I was extremely pleased to hear the manger say that he will accept account transfer, and passed on his bank code and account number. An hour later the truck arrived and as the unloading of bricks commenced, I got on to my pho...

An 'instant-in-essence' electronic debit instrument

The ‘faster is better’ fad will never fade. When in the late nineties faster films of ISO 200 and above came about abundantly in the photography market, consumers simply stopped buying slower films without even realizing if they really needed fast films. Slower films were cheaper and had high image quality, yet were considered sub-standard in the ...
