Use it or lose it. Look at the amount of employment cash handling creates. Once we are forced to choose between using Visa or Mastercard as our only payment methods, and we see them wining and dining our regulators and senior bank staff at global events we are probably going to pay in kind..... when was the last time regulators or central banks took Cash to court over payment handling costs?

I will be using cash on the high street whenever possible, despite working in the cards industry....... I like the idea of choice, and we need to press the post-COVID reset button in some ways.... Appreciate the value and reasons for Interchange, dont disagree it needs to be there, just dont want to force retailers to have to pay it!

Quoting Bankman-Fried on the future of the Web and Crypto Currencies sounds a bit like asking Al Capone about the future of the Licenced Trade post-prohibition. Alternatively Bernie Madoff could be quoted at length on his opinions on the future of Split/Strike conversion. What i found shocking was the revelation that FTX was doing 'hundreds' of transactions a day, and was being asked to slow down. Sadly this article is weakened by the inclusion of Bankman-Fried comments.

Got to feel sorry for the investors who believed in this house of cards (no pun intended). Hope the regulators and law enforcement officers in Germany are shown up for their failures in stopping this scam earlier. If something looks to good to be true, it usually is.... and in this case 'was'!

I have recently seen instances of Paypal refusing to accept payments for Conservative/Anti Woke websites, charities etc.... This seems to be rather more politically motivated than based on any regulatory restrictions. Whilst not clear, I wonder if this is the sort of limitation that the Polish Regulator is targeting? Any of our Polish colleagues care to enlighten us?

Losses quadruple, Gross Merchandise Volume up 5 times..... Failing any changes in credit scoring or onboarding operations, we can expect increasing losses to follow the the increasing merchandise voulme next year.... As the Board would say... "Triples all round" !!!!

Wow.... well i guess on the back of the melt down in 2008 caused by the creation of CDOs and other derivative products, that Dimon personally benefited from.... I guess Jamie Dimon became quite the expert in Ponzi Schemes! Triples all round!

Yes the investors want to see profitability - from a company where growth trumped prudence and credit was available to all comers.... fraudsters, minorities, the uncredit-worthy, Millenials and i am sure a predominance of the younger GenZ crowd.... Unfortunately the perfect inflationary storm is now blowing across the credit world and a failure to have hatches to batten down, may be a fatal flaw. Triples all round? maybe not this time!

thanks Jim - that was a very useful update - i was familiar with the Airline duty free issue - didnt realise this was the Bus issue - seems shortsighted not to include an auth capability - but the additional 10-15 second wait could put a huge dent in timetables if bus needs to onboard 20 passengers
