A missing 'fifth element'

Two days after the original article on "Amazon vs PayPal" was published and tweeted by several people, one of the Amazon Payments' top execs joined Finextra. Talk about coincidence... These days, PR teams keep an eye on online "exposure" of their companies/clients. United Airlines paid a hefty price for ignoring the power of so...

RBS don't seem to understand basic book-keeping rules

RBS is reported as saying that all Customer Accounts are back to normal. They may well be from a monetary perspective, but the data still remains corrupt. I now have on my Business Account 3 BACS credits, one for nearly £500, all with a generic description of “RBS TRANS 220612”, which fails to identify the Customer or the Invoice number. As I h...

Some others have the opinion that the e-invoicing uptake in the EU will get a boost (because of the liberalisation) as from 2013, making additional e-invoicing regulations...

Amazon vs PayPal

Amazon and PayPal have never been friends. Their "mild animosity" goes back to 2003 when Amazon launched services aimed at (small) e-merchants, thus muscling in on the eBay's territory.

I recently had a discussion as to which market represents the biggest business potential for iZettle (I said - the US). If one looked at the current EMV terminal adoptions rates worldwide, it is clear that the USA represents what seems to be... 0% of the global EMV terminal market. Add to the equation EMV's plan to switch all US issuers to EMV fr...

McDonalds announces McWallet - 'I am loving it'

I was joking, of course, but I bet many of you were not surprised - hardly a week goes by without some "m-wallet" announcement here or there. How many more m-wallets need to be launched before it becomes a four-letter word? In fact, how many wallets does a consumer need? Just one!

Background Social media is extending the disruptive impact of digital era across a broad range of functions.

Facebook Credits gone, but banks need FB more than ever

It was announced yesterday that Facebook is going to start phasing out their Facebook Credits system. If you've been watching my commentary over the last few years, I had entertained Facebook becoming a sort of default currency for the web because of the platform's ubiquity. However, like many things online, users and developers collaborated to cr...
