Internet banking faces a new threat

The recent announcement of the multi-channelled Zeus attack on a user's internet banking account is an interesting hypothesis and surely will not be the last when it comes to beating the ever advancing online banking systems.

And as I am kind of known as Mr. e-Invoicing the accountant present came up to me with his story – which went like this: He: “ The migration to e-invoicing has not been easy. Lots of ...

Why don't you become a payments provider? Part 2

Stimulus for Road Construction? How about Payments!

Living in the Chicago area, I've spent my fair share of time in traffic congestion trying to get to the airport. (Anyone familiar with Chicago ORD will also know that finding a plane that leaves on time is another challenge - but that's a different story).

Well the confidence and optimism from Wednesday was still evident at the end of yesterday. Last year people had ideas, this year they are actually doing something about them and actively looking for opportunities, which is such a positive sign for the industry.

EFMA - looking back at day one

The EFMA conference is a regular event in my calendar, and as I travelled there on Tuesday the omens were looking good. I bought my breakfast at the airport with contactless Visa Paywave and the sun was shining when I arrived in Paris. It promised to be a great week.
