There is an increasing amount of conversation related to the emerging technology called by the now over-used name of Blockchain. It seems an ironic use of that name since much of the actual news these days concerning solutions under development is likely not be a Blockchain solution at all, but a different form of Distributed Ledger Technology (D...

The general public can be incredibly suspicious, especially when it comes to the sales environment in financial services.

Biometric technology has a number of different user cases in order to ease the customer journey.
