Today’s situation in Greece is bad for all parties and for once the media are using word “unprecedented” correctly. There have been currency union crises before (such as the Latin Monetary Union, from which Greece was expelled in 1908 for debasing its gold coinage) and banking crises before. Yet it is possible that this may be one of the last fina...

This weekend as we joined in wishing our American friends and family around the world a wonderful Independence Day, my thoughts turned to how Payment Systems are changing in historic ways in America, in many ways setting off a chain reaction that will transform the way we transfer value, not just in the US but world-wide. The danger was that the l...

When I first entered the remittances industry the separation of these two industries was seen to be one of the laws of the universe, just as mobile was isolated as the solely desired channel for which new silos had to be built.

Curious to understand where mobile payments has actually got to in Europe, I recently caught up with Christian von Hammel-Bonten, EVP at Wirecard AG, to gain insights from the recent launches Wirecard is involved in across Europe.

Security is one of the biggest concerns Banks have about Digital Banking. I already underlined the importance of the topic in different tips, to which too much attention paid (please show some attention to the other tips as they get jealous!) and excellent feedbacks from the readers. That is why, I thought sharing a Security Checklist might be wel...

If you listen to the Breaking Banks AM Radio Show today (also available via stream and podcast) you'll hear a spirited rematch of the Great Digital Banking Debate that Michal Panowicz and I had on Twitter a few weeks ago. Anyone who is in a FinTech, of course, believes that FinTech represents the future of the banking experience, but Digital Banke...

Today as fitbit prepares to float on the New York Stock exchange, after which it could reportedly be worth an estimated $4.1bn, I thought I'd reflect on the further convergence happening between the health and wealth markets and the need for greater wisdom that these trends entail.
