Following the 2008 crash, liquidity has established itself as a risk concern for banks like never before – the failure of Northern Rock was essentially one of liquidi...

This post was originally called Atheists versus Evangelicals...then I walked away from it. Then I toyed with the idea of 'Battlefield Payments'...but what I really wanted to talk about was more than payments and I'm really not that big a John Travolta fan anymore. Then two (well, really three) things happened at Sibos in Osaka this year. (Yes, I ...

New products, new channels, massive technological change and all bundled up into two major releases each year by the card schemes, well, as it says in each closing episode of Frasier – ‘What is a boy to do’ Put simply, the ambition to keep interchange fee structures as simple as possible is under constant challenge by an industry characterised by i...

Mobile is the most disruptive consumer product of all time. We went from aspiring to have a computer in every home to having a computer in every pocket. Soon it will be a computer in every object. The adoption of mobile devices has driven the more social, more informed and more location aware lives we now live. There has been a lot of debate ab...

It is easy to think that attractiveness of mobile transactions is in the embracement of near field communication (NFC). Banks, telco’s, manufacturers, the Forresters, Javelins and Gartners have put in on the agenda since 2006 and promised the infrastructure would be there in the next year, or the year after, or...

Banking has been hitting the headlines in all manner of guises over recent months – from IT problems through to bonuses, the UK’s banking community has never been under more scrutiny. This is why it came as little surprise a few months ago when attention turned to banking fees and the idea of ‘free banking’. Of course, there are strong arguments o...
