I was amazed by the report that Wells Fargo has ended up paying $16m for failing to provide phone services for deaf customers. Part of the amazement is that in the UK phone services for hearing impaired customers are well established and well used by large companies. In the UK, nearly all banks offer a textphone service and there are well establi

My first few days of stay in one of the worlds most developed economies USA, has made me think in a lot of different directions related to the methodical ways of doing things here. It feels like a CMM Level 5 country with so many processes / methods to do things and everything well organised and recorded in all facets of day to day life, not to me...

2010 - Year of the Mobile (finally!) Since at least 1999, each year has produced confident predictions that next year would be the "Year of the Mobile".

In today´s global market place it is more than evident that most European countries need to take a really hard look at the competitiveness of their enterprises. This is naturally a multidimensional issue - education, innovation climate, workforce mobility, risk capital, bank lending, lower tax on work etc. One of the most critical issues is the hig...
We have been speculating a lot on the role that social media giants like Google, Facebook and technology companies like Apple or Square could play in the financial services arena. They have been positioned as a threat to the banking position with regards to payments and potentially other P2P products like lending. In fact they are a threat and an ...

This proves beyond doubt that social media has come to stay. In this digital world, one sees virtual groups, meeting in virtual locales. Marketing, in this virtual market place is inexpensive and proving to be effective. In the days of yore (beyond last year) in real locales, real groups one saw huge bill boards in rush places and the response was...

Last week Google announced their long awaited NFC-trial for mobile payments. On the face of it, many perceive that Google’s play is an attempt to cannibalize the lucrative payments market, but if that was the case, why has Google not taken a share of interchange fees from Citi and Mastercard? In addition, Google is supplying contactless point-of-...
