Following a visit to PayExpo at Excel (nothing to write home about, as far as most of the exhibitors are concerned), I attended the FinTech Road Show today which was supposed to showcase some of the most disruptive financial technologies in the UK startup world. [Yawn] I don't want to sound like a broken record, but 99% of companies in the payment...

Bankers have a reputation of being very conservative and well, frankly, boring. As an ex-banker I’d like to defend this and say that rather than the image of grey suited accountants, they should be seen as heroes like Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible.

OK I have to admit I have something in common with Indiana Jones – I hate snakes. Sadly that’s where the similarity ends.

I’ve spent the last few days nose deep in the ‘Opening up UK Payments’ consultation document issued in March by HM Treasury.
