Deadlines for paper or otherwise unstructured invoices (e-mail) to the public sector have been issued in many countries - and more are on their way. The reasons for this are obvious: 1. save tax payers money 2. move increasingly scarce human resources from administration to services and other productive tasks 3. kick-start e-invoicing in the econom...

As we have seen, contactless payments are beginning to move into the mainstream. As my colleague Mark Carpenter has previously noted in a blog, support for contactless transactions is moving out from the metropolis, even to the rarefied environs of his country retreat. According to Visa Europe, in 2010 it alone issued 10 million contactless card...

It's a tricky business working in payments in a bank today - trying to decide on strategy and how the bank should move forward. Every bank exec I have spoken to recently is having to balance many different challenges and work out which ones they should...

So which topic will steal the show at SIBOS this year.. Post Crisis wheres the growth? final words on SEPA? e-Invoicing? Basel III? Mobile Payments? Security Infrastructures? Renminbi? My take is post crisis wheres the growth should be the mantra and other topics are value adds with specifics. Are banks expecting more M&As post crisis, restruct...

When Denmark legislated against paper invoicing in the public sector (including municipalities) back in 2005 service providers (including banks) where not ready with easy solutions for the SMEs. The solution was that enterprises where told to go to the local post office to have invoices scanned. The state paid the cost. Many enterprises (worldwide...

We read that PayPal is moving into e-invoicing. Natural step for anyone who wants to stay in the payments business = keep the funding and profitability transaction accounts offer. Some banks have not yet seen the need to make the choice - keep the profitable and stable funding intact or not. In the same news we also read: "Separately, the US ...
OK. If you have been following my blogs... You will know that I am investing my time and energies into person to person lending. With a wave of person to person lending start ups over the last few years, the model has proven to be viable (While very early still). For those of you not familiar with person to person lending it is like a marketplace...

The news from the UK Payments Council that cheques will no longer be forcibly scrapped in 2018 has, perhaps inevitably, received mixed responses. For the banks, issuing, handling, securing and processing cheques is expensive and time consuming – a cost that in the end has to be passed on to customers.
