Accelerating decline in use of cash clearly reflected here and in card transaction statistics in Finland (even without costs being visibly charged for ATM withdrawals..). Good news for all. On EU level the cost of cash usage was estimated to some 50bn€ some years ago - and the consumer pays 100% of it + some profit margins for the service prov...

It took time to get it going - but this is looking good (statistics covers only Finvoice - similar growth in other local standards). In a couple of years time paper or e-mailed PDF invoices will be as rare as cheques (defacto not used since years). More interesting statistics here: http://www.fkl.fi/en/material/statistics/Statistics/Statistics_bank...
Excellent growth figures - on EU levels the e-id volume would be 1,5bn. All public sector id-transactions are presently done by banks. This is extremely cost efficient (economy of reuse) and naturally preferred by citizens - as the tool (one-time code) is so familiar (economy of repetition and secure (economy of trust). Difficult to understand why...
I would have thought the transaction growth would have petered out in Finland - when most customers have used it for years - and now there are 5,2m e-banking contracts (a population of 5,4m and some probably are prepared to pay for several) - but still a 40m - 11% growth.

The recent report by the ICB on banking in the UK underlined a major factor missing in today's world - the need to increase competition across the various services that our banks offer.

In the UK, there is also a growing consumer awareness of skimming and the need to protect your PIN at ATM and PoS terminals which...

The last year has been awash with news and analyst reports about how American consumers are forsaking credit cards and increasingly using debit and prepaid cards. Given that credit cards are a “pay after” instrument as against debit and prepaid cards that are “pay now” and “pay before” instruments respectively, pundits have concluded that the sh

Simply put, payment execution is the process of initiating payments, whether by check, ACH, wire or card. Increasingly, companies are looking to outsource this portion of their A/P processing. Payment initiation is time consuming, labor intensive and expensive (in the case of checks) and certainly meets the definition of a non-core business func...
