Mark Kanji Loyalive CEO and founder at Loyalive
Many believe that the loyal customer is a dying breed. And in an age where countless savings can be found online and budget retailers offer tempting discounts, who can really blame them? Recent figures show that 24 per cent of UK families switched their main supermarket in the last year alone, with customers constantly on the lookout for a better ...

One could be more forgiving and attribute bad UX to "teething problems", but not when it comes to the world's largest company and expansion launch (rather than greenfield ops). Apple should have sorted all the issues I am raising here before launching in the US, let alone Europe - they have adequate resources and skills. Them not doing it...

Over the past few months I've been talking with people on both sides of the Atlantic - exchanges, brokers and ISVs - about the emerging concept of electronic specifications in financial services, and the FIX Trading Community's proposed "FIX Service Profile" in particular. It's important to begin with words of support for the initiative;...

So someone comes up to you in a restaurant—a complete stranger—and asks to look at your driver’s license. What do you do? Show it to that person? You’d have to be one loony tune to do that. However, this same blindness to security occurs all the time when a person is tricked by a “phishing” e-mail into typing in the password and username for their ...

‘Fintech’ and ‘innovation’ are both hot topics and buzzwords that are seemingly being dropped in to every conversation related to financial services at the moment.

A recent blog post from Colt highlighted the way trading floors have changed over the last few decades – what was once a profession characterised by floors of people shouting orders across a seething mass of traders has transformed into electronic trading, algorithms and mathematics PhDs. As with any industry, things change, move on and develop. ...

The digital start up culture of the US has long been lauded as the benchmark for the EU to aspire towards creating. However the cultural and financial differences between the EU and US are vast, contributing to the perceptible dominance of the US start-up scene.

The Philippines is preparing for ASEAN integration. Integration will mean (eventually) ASEAN member banks can set up shop here and vice versa. It makes me wonder what best practices they will bring? Will they be a threat to local banks? Large foreign banks have been setting up shop in emerging markets for a number of years – in the Philippines the ...
So, Apple Pay is finally here. Let me cut to the chase. The good Well done, Apple! Kudos for showing the way. Amazing antenna performance, thanks to AMS booster (that has now been dropped in favour of NXP). You can present the phone to the reader in a number of ways, and it still works. BTW, very few people know where exactly NFC antenna is on iPho...
