TeliaSonera (the leading Nordic telco) announced this week in Finland that they will increase the charge for sending paper invoices to corporate customers from 5 to 10€. Consumers are charged 1,90. This clear policy is for sure to be applauded – good for all parties (and big time for society at large) – for the following reasons: 1. The cost saving...

Basel III regulations are attempting to bring back some the much-needed checks and balances in the Finance Industry so that we do not see a repeat of 2008 crisis. The set of guidelines is all about re-establishing the rules to ensure a brighter future for the global economy. I’m pro-Basel III. After all, no one wants to experience the 2008 financi...

It might only be Citi for now, but I suspect all of the major banks are looking at this. There are effectively 3 ways of achieving NFC in your phone/mobile device and each ...
2010 was a good growth year for e-invoicing using the Finvoice standard in Finland. 71% growth – now 14,4m (good bank statistics available). This would on EU-level equal 1 billion invoices. 1,1 million e-invoice requests-to-receive) were sent – EU equivalent would be 71m. Other formats (TEAPPS and Edifact ) exceed 100m in a conservative estimate. ...

There's a much quoted line in the UK banking market that you are more likely to get divorced than change current accounts. This comes from the statistic that around 75% of customers have never closed a current account, but that approximately 45% of marriages end in divorce. But this is misleading. The fact is that banks don't record churn or swit...

Barrie Arnold of Striata, document service provider, posted an intriguing article their blog on how NOT to persuade your customer into e-billing. He wrote in his post that when he wanted to enrol at Verizon's online billing portal, he decided to go through Verizon’s Terms & Conditions for a change. He was stunned to found out the attitude o

Danske Bank just made it easier to spend money and pay your bill. Their customers can now pay bills with just a photo of their bill and a tap on their iPhone screen. Making online payments a lot easier. Even easier than NFC chips (as these chips won't be attached to paper bills). This enticing app from Danske Bank's is now available for iPhone, i...
