With a session being held at Sibos today on whether it is too late for banks to compete in mobile payments, I thought I’d revisit a theme I’ve blogged about in the past; banks and their mobile payments’ strategy.

Sibos 2011 has been talking about innovation and not just at Innotribe. Google Wallet, Movembank, changing the business model for banks and a new approach to regulation have all been discussed.

Payments hubs have been a talking point for a number of years now. Once envisioned as the 'silver bullet' for payment system consolidation, the reality has become somewhat different.

Now that the volume of cash circulating through society is falling, bank robbery is no longer the blue-collar career it used to be. These days, it seems that career criminals have two options: diversify or invest in an education. An eight- inch knuckle span and a lack of discernable neck are no longer enough to make it in the world of bank robbery...

While some of the get-togethers have already started to happen, Sibos 2011 starts in earnest in Toronto on Monday and promises to raise some important issues. I was last in Toronto almost thirty years ago and, unsurprisingly, a lot has changed, notably the huge number of tall buildings now clustering around the tallest, the CN Tower. Thirty years a...

Everyone agrees that e-invoice saves money, makes things easier and it is good for environment. But if we think situation for SME, this makes sense but still it is hard to adjust business for this. Good examples comes from own experience and I share my own for you. I like e-invoices but still struggle to send one. There are several reasons for this...

In Part 1 of this blog post, we'd compared the realtime SMS alerts for credit card transactions sent out by two banks, BANK1 and BANK2. In this Part 2, we'll look at these SMS alerts as 'products' and see how well they work for the customer towards detecting and preventing fraudulent credit card transactions. Both banks permit the following modes...
