Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) in payment processing are gaining traction globally. In addition to open banking, they are now being used end to end in the payment value chain – linking internal systems together more efficiently, accessing external applications, enabling the microservices transformation of legacy systems, and providing n...

The 2016 Global Terrorism Index reported a 650% increase in deaths from terrorism amongst OECD member countries. In this environment, it is no surprise that governments are making a strong attempt to counter terrorist financing. Although we welcome new anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing regulations that have been introduced to tac...

“I want it now.” Sounds like a petulant teenager, doesn’t it? But actually, it’s the sound of consumers and corporations around the world demanding immediate payments solutions. While immediate payments are already mature in some markets, in others they are still maturing, and for some countries, they are not even in the plans yet. But one thing...

In my previous blog I mentioned the growing external pressures for brokers when it comes to the reconciliation of exchange traded and over-the-counter derivatives.

After years of speculation, this week in Osaka we finally appear to have a SIBOS with a SEPA conversation worth having. With the date for compliance across the Eurozone now set for February 2014, we are beginning to see a move by corporates to start to adopt SEPA standards. The business case for migrating ahead of the 2014 date has always been a ...

Regulation is a fact of life in the payments business but when it was discussed at Sibos, people seemed united in their opinions on how best it should be tackled. And common standards and communication are at the root of their recommended approach. A regulation like Basel III is best implemented with a maximum harmonised approach across the globe, ...

With a session being held at Sibos today on whether it is too late for banks to compete in mobile payments, I thought I’d revisit a theme I’ve blogged about in the past; banks and their mobile payments’ strategy. Having spoken to a number of banks about their mobile money and payments strategy recently, it is clear that there is no one standardise...

It’s a fact that when it comes to banking and payments, customers have high expectations of reliability, efficiency and dependability. This has not changed over the decades. What makes it more challenging for banks today is the speed at which transactions occur, along with the sheer growth of the number and complexity of payments. More and more pay...
