Last year the US contributed close to 20% of the world's GDP despite coming off the back of the biggest economic downturn since the 1930's Great Depression. The US, UK, Germany, Russian and CIS States, and China dominate the world's payment landscape currently, but in volume of non-bank payments the US dominates with over 50% of the world's total...

“Customers appreciate security” is something I’ve heard time and again. When a big credit card associations wanted to increase user registration to a new eCommerce authentication program some ten years ago, they did a ‘focus group’, and people told them it would be really swell if the bank enforced the new security rather than made it optional. “I...

Whilst I have personally enjoyed the growth of acceptance of NFC based contactless payments for my payment cards and my Samsung S4, I can't but help notice the people around me in either their payment behaviours - or in them observing mine.

I’m very struck by one quote from the Tower Group report on multi-channel, "CEOs are realising that channel investments should be tied to specific experience goals and customers should be guided to the channel that best suits their needs". I don’t want to be too harsh, but surely that was always the point of multi-channel? As someone who...

The rise of devices has led to a huge creation of data. When you include images (video and still) I can quite believe the revelation that “90% of the world’s data has been created in the last 2 years”. (May 2013). The technology companies that have emerged over the last decades have a huge advantages in this space, especially those that are effec...

Recently, inspired by the upcoming EBUG conference, I felt enthused to try and get a handset with NFC working for payments. Previously i had been "marooned" on an NFC-less iPhone 4S - it had the Starbucks App which makes for a nice barcode-based demo - but so what?

An SMS arrived from Barclays this morning. "Make sure you upgrade AND LOG IN [sic] to the latest version of the Barclays Mobile Banking app BEFORE [sic] you install iOS7". Guess what! Too late - I have already upgraded to 7. iOS7 has been available to developers for quite some time. Hence, that message should have said, re-phrasing Marse...
