Bo, how much do merchants pay credit and debit card companies each year? How much do the merchants pay as a percentage per transaction on a credit or debit card and how does this compare to the cost of handling cash per transaction?

I am confused by this announcement. System Access, a Singaporean provider of banking back office systems, was sold to Sungard for $120 million in 2006 and rebranded as Ambit. Just before Sungard was acquired by FIS it sold Ambit to Silverlake Axis for $12 million. So what is FIS selling?

Great analysis.
By 2043 we will all be using flying cars and it will be optional to take up residence on Mars.

An excellent summary. If technological advancements continue you can expect high unemployment amongst the less well educated, which will lead to higher crime rates and the potential for riots. When people are hungry they get desperate.

I am a little surprised that London has become the 17th office location for a company in financial services strategy and management consulting when London is one of the three largest financial services centres in the world. Why were they not in London earlier?

I had already reduced my use of VISA down minimal use, because of their inability to process on-line purchases (I have had several major purchases refused without explanation or intervention). Now I will drop VISA completely.

Cash remains a popular payment method, particularly for those who want to control their spending. The doomsayers who preduct the end of cash in the next five to ten years will not like these facts. And we are not even a major cash economy, like Germany.

Dear Ms Reyes, my experience of senior management at HSBC is that they do not have a clue what goes on at the customer level. They are so far removed from reality that they might as well be based on Mars.

I use different financial institutions for different services - my current account, savings, credit card, mortgage and foreign exchange are all with different organisations. How does CRM technology solve this problem?
