It’s an interesting time to be a pan-European exchange operator like NYSE Euronext as it seems to be taking fire from all sides. As pointed out by FT Trading Room, the revamped Equiduct is now starting to nibble at NYSE Euronext’s Paris market share as Equiduct's top ten stocks (by value) are now all French.

The inaugural Finovate Europe that took place in London a week ago certainly sparked a lot of opinions, both online and on the conference floor. Regardless of how innovative or otherwise you considered the demoing-companies to be, there were a few very relevant themes raised during the day. Some of the more exciting demos were the ones that attemp...

There was a time when bank marketing departments offered well crafted products delivering genuine value for money, but that doesn't seem to be the case now. Advertising is dominated by savings accounts paying way below inflation, and cash incentives to switch banks for no reason other than the cash itself. Whatever happened to the value propositio...

I mentioned ‘netting sets' in a previous blog on OTC clearing as a key focus of much debate at a recent OTC derivatives conference. To me, there seems to be some confusion around usage of the term within the subject of OTC clearing, and I've heard it used in a number of contexts.

Given the recent discussions on the Starbucks Payment App and emerging NFC I thought this interview with myself and Omar Green (Intuit, Director of Strategic Mobile Initiatives) by Lori Ann Lorocco at CNBC might be of interest... Will the wallet soon be a thing of the past? At the rate mobile banking apps are being adopted, who knows. Intuit annou

In case you missed it, 2010 was the year when HTML5 hit the big time. It started back last January with Steve Jobs coming clean about why Apple would never support Flash (and by implication Silverlight) on its mobile devices, and throwing all of Apple's weight behind HTML5. It continued with the rapid decline in the use of Internet Explorer (now l...

Most of us would have no idea Egypt had pulled the plug on the Internet unless it was splashed all over the news. However one company called iovation knew right away. Basically “just like that” the up to 1000 fraud checks they receive every hour out of Egypt dropped to zero. At first glance one would think there was some type of meltdown or maybe E...

It is true, we are more than just a number. Unfortunately people don't tend to have unique names - for instance I share my name with the developer of a computer game from the 1980's called "Repton". In the physical world, this doesn't really matter - if I need to give you some money I hand it to you in person: I have identified you, we
