Sometimes little things can mean a very great deal indeed. For people who work in the world of standards – whether for data, IT or just a plug in the wall – little things can have a massive impact. Data standards are like that. Changing the format of just one field can mean changing almost every application system that you run or have to work w...

As I read this piece about a teenage cybercrime forum founder being jailed, the above thought came in to my head - "what do the credit card thieves use to pay each other online?".

Today I spoke with my account about e-invoice. As I would like to use e-invoice as much as possible, there are some obstacles which annoys me quite a lot. Even in Finland, where we have everything structured, some invoice operators are not discussing with each other, not even technical level and that confuses not only me but my account company. Th...

Deutsche Bank report: “There is huge savings potential – but beware of outlandish claims. A conservative back-of-the-envelope calculation suggests that a full switch to e-procurement may save between EUR 50 to 75 bn on public procurement in the EU per year. On top of that are increases in transparency and public accountability which are arguably t...

UK politicians often accuse the banks of failure to innovate in payments. The UK Payments Council was at least partly created and empowered to change this position but has so far failed to make its presence felt. So what's gone wrong? Firstly, the basic premise is deeply flawed. The UK payments industry is very innovative. Over the last twenty y

Let's see - Someone wants to send me some money. I give them my credit card number (I'll have to look it up, I won't remember a number that long).
