This had resulted in a highly fragmented market with over 17 e-money licenses - yet none enjoying the adoption or offering the range of services required. Now this is set to change with a new regulator...

Developments in the mobile payments world have really got me worried. I come across an ever increasing account of different banks and technology companies coming to market each with their own variations of what they call “mobile payments”. To start with the term “mobile payments” is confusing to most, even some seasoned bankers. What the man-in-the...

Banking industry is on the cusp of Digital disruption. Threats are no longer coming from their traditional peers, but from disrupters across telecom (Bharati Airtel applying for Banking license), cash rich retail (Amazon, Alibaba providing lending services) & Smart phone manufacturing (Google, Apple etc) industry.

It’s been a fascinating contrast between the statements of Ana Botin and Francisco Gonzalez. In her first interview, Ana Botin (the new Global Chairwoman of Santander, formerly CEO of Santander UK) told the Financial Times that, “Bank branches will save banks from digital challengers”.

On the energy front, U.S. growth has resumed due largely to the technical innovations of fracking and horizontal drilling. On the car front, Tesla, according to Forbes, has irreve...

It's been a while since I blogged here at Finextra. Several of my regular followers were curious as to why I am staying below the radar. Firstly, we are nearing the launch of MultiPass pilot with a major transport operator in London, and 24 hours in a day is simply not enough. (Cannot say more here due to Finextra rules.) We are also in the proce...

I know there's been considerable debate about the Santander press coverage today where they 'intend to use old-school branches, plus a more aggressive IT budget to beat off competition' from tech start-ups, platforms and pure-plays. Here's the thing - the attackers are attacking the distribution model, so a plan that articulates doubling down on a...

Bo Harald Chairman/Founding member, board member at Trust Infra for Real Time Economy Prgrm & MyData,
Taking the previous blog forward - asking myself questions - and moving the horizontal slider to the right when considering an issue important (in this case for banks) - and the vertical slider up when being surer. 1.
