Today's Innovation in Payments rountable, sponsored by the Visa Europe Research Fellowship at the Centre for the Study of Financial Innovation, was filled with many 'what ifs' in regards to the Payments Services Directive. What if settlement risk increases as a result of all these potential new payment institution entrants? What if Tesco decide to ...

Go East, young man...for networks

Finextra and BT recently held a webcast looking at the future of financial networks. The lively, transatlantic debate, with expert panalists from NY and London, soon turned towards Asia.

I work for Bank of America, DM me!

Bank of America was an early active adopter of Twitter, which they use to monitor and respond to customer service questions. It is interesting to see how Twitter as evolved. For some it is about watching the conversations (is there a #hashtag for that?). For others it is about following interesting or relevant people. In order to conclude whether ...

You can use it ...even if you are a Sugarbabe

I just needed to share this with the Finextra Community. So much better than the Window 7 house party - Push that button baby! (for those outside the UK - the Sugarbabes are an all-girl UK supergroup, (and I mean super) who tend to upgrade with new members every year. Kind of like...) See the ads here.

OMG! Really, I've won!?

A few years ago I was at a talk with Scott McNeally of Sun Microsystems just after the Oscars in the US. He remarked how wonderful the Oscars were "A whole industry gathers to award prizes - to themselves." Not for nothing is marketing the 'dark art'. I've worked at publications where a day before an awards ceremony when faced with no vo...

Could this be the mythical Markit-killer?

However, as most veterans of the standards rows know - politics plays a far greater role and can overshadow any data management benefits. Bloomberg may be aiming this at the Cusip Service Burea...
