So it's official: Andrew Long from HSBC stated today in one of the "Big Debates" that customers need SEPA to be relevant to them to create demand and then migration. He suggested that SEPA was driven only by politicians and that we as an industry should find out what the market wants and then tailor the rules to fit. This sounds like good...

SWIFT’s new standards changes go live on 21st November 2009. Talking about this yesterday, I started thinking about the three key areas that SunGard think are critical for 2010 – Transparency, Efficiency and Networks. What the community is trying to achieve with SWIFT’s MT202 is a great example of the first, transparency. Sitting in some of the ...

Not once, not twice, but three times at Sibos, I have spoken to people who say Transaction Banking is The New Sexy. Admittedly, they did work in transaction banking, but I can see their point. Banks, especially the large masters of the universe over at investment banking, have not been living in the land of happy over the past two years. However, o...
A report just launched by the Smart Card Alliance (SCA) suggests that stakeholders in the U.S. payments industry examining end-to-end encryption should consider the use of contactless chip cards along with dynamic cryptograms in the fight against fraud.

After having survived the typhoon, the real business of Sibos has started: debating the key issues facing banks and their corporate customers. SEPA migration is still a key topic with its implications for potential Asian payments consolidation. Many of the delegates to whom I have spoken have expressed the feeling that we are still talking about th...

Day two and yet again talk about ‘hubs’ has been circulating through the conference. This is a perennial topic with barely a presentation or talk going by when the word ‘hub’ is not applied to yet another part of the payments industry as if the term alone will be the panacea for all things technological. Quite frankly, none of this helps as it is ...
As the typhoon raged over us here at Sibos last night, I couldn’t help but think of the new storm that is brewing over the western banks as we speak. The reason I thought this was that ironically the cause of this storm is here in Asia. As an active player in the Asian market, we have been cautiously optimistic to see our Asian customers and prosp...

I started out trying to improve consumer processes and interactions. This entailed connecting the dots between what was already out there in a consumer friendly and easy to adopt manner. It was pointless without connecting the financial dots because that was literally where the money was in the process. Hence the transaction system, which could hav...

I'm hoping that we're not starting a new tradition of "crisis Monday" at Sibos. Last year, it was fears of banking system collapse and this year it's the imminent typhoon threat to the over 5,000 attendees at the Hong Kong Conference and Exhibition centre. Perhaps to get it out of the way before Sibos had properly started, the industry an...
