Video shows Access to cash with customer using a one-time access code plus a PIN code. Is that the card PIN (of the card not being used), or some other customer PIN?

How confident can we be that this bank will EVER turn a profit? As Andrew Lillico points out in his article, UK tax-payers have seen for 9 straight years a cumulative loss of over £58bn since the bank was rescued at 500p a share during the 2008/2009 bailouts.  It's worth just half that at £29bn today.

Of course there's a shortage of talent in this emerging Blockchain tech - There's an answer to this - business can take a longer-time view to invest in promising talent that will deliver what the business ultimately needs. Is that too much to ask?

Good to hear Nigeria has been innovating in this area of Instant Payments. Europe has success stories, UK, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, but the remainder of Europe is yet to catch up.

So according to the article, they paid DKR17billion and are selling for DKR5.5 - am I missing something?

as Melvyn H stated, using Brexit as an excuse is lazy and disingenuous. Plans were already afoot; The reality is that much as we all like to think we have a branch close by, increasingly we're using digital platforms for our banking.  These bank utlities are going to find it hard to differentiate themselves from one another.

@stevenHatton, I'm thinking the same way, it flies in the face of where the regulators are urging the payments industry to go.  Something as key as our national payments processor, responsible for the majority of monthly salary payments, now owned by a Card Scheme.

For time-poor consumers this might be attractive, but for those of us who are more concerned about what we eat and where it comes from, then the freedom to chose what and where to buy it from is much more important. Personally after all the stuff hits my hallway floor, I'd prefer a robot to load it into my fridge...
