What Will Happen in Wholesale Banking

I’d like to share with the community the most significant trends in wholesale banking my analyst colleagues and I are anticipating for 2012. The years following the 2008 financial crisis were challenging, and 2011 proved to be a continuation of that trend. While my analyst colleagues and I were optimistic at the start of 2011 that the year would br...

Finding the Gentle Giant's Pot of Gold

If you’ve been following this blog, I’d like to think I’ve built my case, and you’re in agreement that it’s time to start running payments as a business. In keeping with the original theme, we must first wake the gentle giant, and re-examine payments data centers as a potential revenue stream. In doing so, we realize that many payments data center...

A day in the life of SEPA

January 31st 2012 was a SEPA day for me. First I had to present to the Misys Banking leadership team on what the news around SEPA migration dates means for the market, I had a new EPC news letter to review, all 51 pages, and then the Financial Service Club was running an event called Is SEPA happening and does it matter? It all seemed to re-start...

Did Fraud get a mention in Davos?

Fraud is a problem. CIFAS, the UK’s Fraud Prevention Service, noted a 9% increase in overall fraud from 2010 to 2011. Startlingly, there was an 18% rise in facility takeover fraud –when a criminal obtains your credit card details, bank details or mobile phone to use your money without permission. CIFAS cited tough economic times as the reason for...

Fraud around every corner?

The latest round of industry statistics paints a bleak picture of UK fraud. CIFAS’s latest report identified a 9% growth in fraud, whilst also highlighting an 18% growth in account takeover related fraud, and 13% for misuse of facility fraud (first party fraud). This comes of the back of last year’s National Fraud Authority report that recognize...

The United States of Europe

When now the market and media hystery around the Euro is fading away it is getting clear that half-pregnant is not a happy state. More integration is needed to reach the splendid potential of a true single market - the largest in the world - is needed. It is now very clear that no national politicians are allowed to borrow money (in the citizens' ...

Breaking up of the Euro contingency projects

Much to my surprise I found out recently that a large number of UK Banks have already been working on their plans for the eventual breakup of the Euro. As I understand it the banks are basing their plans around first one Euro State going, quickly followed by others, with various scenarios being played out. For example, a split, with the northern E...

Talking technology just delays innovation

With a few notable exceptions (such as Apple) the fact is that technology doesn't really matter. What really matters, especially when you are targeting consumers, is application. Sounds controversial? Let me explain what I mean. Look at the early days of movies - were you a Betamax or a VHS fan? What about the more recent Blu-Ray vs HD DVD war? A...

This is non-compliant in the UK

Cardholder Present transactions in the UK are mandated to be Chip and PIN verified, and since this device is swipe only (like Square in the US) it would not reach the minimum requirements for such payments. I doubt that any UK acquiring banks would issue merchant accounts for use with this device. It wouldn't be supported by Visa or Mastercard, an...
