In my opinion article titled "Impact of Regulation on Financial Services Providers" that was published in the August 2012 issue of The Journal of Internet Banking & Commerce, I'd argued that banks don't have much to fear from the slew of financial products launched by non-banking financial services providers. In response to this pie...

How to commit a credit card fraud? "Simples!" - emboss card number on the card itself. The credit card predecessor (called "Certificate of Credit") didn't have a card number at all, just the bearer's name - there were not that many people who were wealthy enough to have such a certificate back in the 20s in a given area, I gues...

McCormack told a good story about the chairman of Rolex not knowing much about the watch business as he said his company was in luxury business. What many people missed or simply didn't pay much attention to at MWC in Barcelona was Apple's absence. What business is Apple in? IMO, UX. Someone said Apple is about quantum leaps, not incremental steps...

Indeed, I'm somewhat perplexed that it hasn't already done so. Perhaps it's just following a similar strategy to Volly (that has again postponed...

Now the New Year is well and truly in full swing and personal performance plans for 2013 are on file, it’s interesting to compare the process many of us followed for ourselves, with the one followed for our outsourcing contracts.

Did you see the news item about the fossil discovery that they say is the “missing link” and “ancestor of all mammals”? A small shrew-like creature that became the whales, penguins, kangaroos and humans we know today. Miraculous! Isn’t Mother Nature wonderful in how it can adapt?

With the latest instalment of James Bond; “Skyfall” out on DVD and Blu-Ray this week, I started thinking about how the world of payments is like the world of James Bond. Bond has to sort the good guys from the bad ones. In payments we must identify what new technologies and payment methods will become mainstream trends and which are simply a “flash...
