I interact with several 'experts' in digital banking. These 'experts' are introduced as strategy leaders. In conversation with them the talk is all mobility and online banking. In presentations, it is more mobility and online. Often I have seen these 'experts' demonstrate a shallow understanding of the business of banking. Sadly they are in the c...

Earlier this year, FStech magazine looked at technology predictions for the year ahead. I’ve picked out three areas I believe to be very relevant to the UK mortgage market, in this year of the Mortgage Market Review: 2014: the year regulation gets serious Leveraging the benefits of electronic channels Improving customer service while reducing cost...

I attended Shared Services & Outsourcing Week in Dublin recently and sat in on a session called “Increasing Automation to Optimise Existing Technology”.

It was interesting to see many Finextra readers defending cash. Most arguments in favour of cash are based on sentiments, rather than hard facts. The best authority on that subject, IMHO, is Dave Birch of Consult Hyperion. He wrote almost 150 blog posts on cash, citing or referencing mind-opening statistics and facts. Attempting to sum up Dave's ...

In the ongoing game of one-upmanship between hackers and payment fraud prevention technology, new research presented at the 35th IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy suggests that the fraudsters have yet another vector to utilize, exploiting new vulnerabilities within existing implementations of EMV/Chip and Pin.

Summer is upon us, and it's time to do mid-year revision of my predictions for 2014 (last year I got 6 out 7 right). Wearables - tick Samsung's Gear 2, Moto 360 by Motorola, G watch by Google (developed by LG), One by HTC and iWatch by Apple are going to hit the shelves soon. None of those smartwatches support mass transit or mobile payments (iW...
