Yesterday I listened to a talk from PayPal at one of Europe’s largest online innovation and developer conferences, LeWeb.

Demise of cash

Nick Jones blogged about cash. We managed to eliminate private cheques in Finland in 1983 by putting a charge (8c) on the cheque forms (picked up or mailed).

The changing nature of fraud

The reduction in fraud levels seen in Australia once again reiterate the potential savings that can be delivered if countries roll out EMV technology, and it will be interesting to see if the current non-EMV countries such as the US reconsider their stance as these stories continue to come through.

Interesting to see the latest figures from Australia released today, which show the impact that Chip and PIN can make on fraud. Skimming attacks committed domestically and overseas on Australian cards both fell, and the number of skimming attacks committed in Australia on overseas cards also fell significantly.
