As I did for 2013, I have put together the 10 most important news stories for the International Money Transfer Industry in 2014, as a way to reflect back and at the same time analyze the trends for the coming year. They are not necessarily in order of importance. They are based on my personal opinions and ideas from friends and colleagues in the i...

Makes you wonder what these guys would have accomplished had they been born during the Renaissance…case in point: Kevin Mitnick, whose genius was so impressive as a cyber criminal (he hacked into IBM, Motorola, Sun Microsystems and other big-name outfits), that after serving prison time, he was hired as a good guy to help security teams develop pe...

I often think making exact predictions on what will happen in a year’s time is a fool’s game. What can be a useful exercise though is to look at the trends of 2014 and see where these might be headed. For the UK retail banking sector in particular there have been some significant movements over the past year, which look to shape an interesting 201...

The majority of startups I meet with are run by young, over-enthusiastic twenty-somethings. They pile in their hopes and dreams to become the next Zuckerberg - it could end in a successful exit, but chances are it will end in failure. Bitnet is a startup that takes a mature approach towards the world of cryptocurrency. Launched in January 2014, th...

As mobile penetration reached 106% , and effectively 60% of people in Zimbabwe now have access to mobile services, mobile operators have gone a step further. They now offer people safe and convenient ways to transfer money, pay for electricity and basic services and last but not least, add much needed top-up to their own mobile phones, or those ...

Ah, remember the old days……, the days when you had to get to your bank or credit union branch before 2:00 PM in order to get a deposit recorded as a transaction for that day. Fast forward to today. As Tom Groenfeldt, contributor to Forbes so eloquently writes, “When 40-year old legacy banking systems meet the two-month old iPhone 6, the results ar...

Just as important as taking down the decorations, throwing out all the debris from opened gifts and getting the house back in order after the holiday activities, is that of scrutinizing your credit card statements. Why? To make sure that all the purchases on there were made by you and only you. The holiday season means more credit card use = more...

Whether it’s Windows 8, OS X 10.10 or Android 5, modern life beats to the drum of big software releases. Since any new EU regulation includes an automatic review clause, financial markets legislation is already following a similar pattern. With the ink barely dry on ESMA’s latest technical advice and consultation for MiFID II, it’s not a question ...

Watch out Apple Watch, 5 year old's are coming, with much bigger expectations! As a collector of all things gadgetry, it will be no surprise to many that know me well - in my kids Christmas stocking was something either technical or that made a noise. Now, like most parents we are super super cautious with these - leaving fine long standing friend...

Over Christmas I tweeted that 2015 could be the year of the new digital bank. I really believe that the bandwagon has finally started rolling - it may not have arrived at its destination yet… BUT if you do want to catch it, you need to jump on quickly. Why is the industry so interested in this whole topic? Well how often does massive disruptio...
