Getting digital banking right

I really am a really big fan of digital banking. Banking digitally is a positive change from the way banking and banking transactions were carried out in the past. I really like the way it has changed my life for the better. I like the way it has given me a new freedom to do my banking when I want to, where I want to and to a large degree how I wan...

Is the fintech industry killing mobile payments?

A while back I blogged my concerns about the future of mobile payments; “Why I am worried about the future of Mobile payments”. In essence, the problem that I focused on is this - there are just too many forms of mobile payments being offered by too many organisations and by too many banks. This approach creates confusion. It come about because ev...

Reflections on the fintech revolution

Sibos 2023: Can CBDC replace cash?

Will CBDCs replace cash? No!

Banks of the future must maintain human touch

The human touch is vital. However what we have done these past three decades, is that we have surrendered much of potential human ability to technology. The humans left in banking today have been trapped in little isolated pockets, where suposedly they are experts. Compared to thirty years ago these "experts" are no experts at all. They don't really understand the processes, products and practices that they supposedly are experts in.

If this is the type of human touch we are spaking about I am not so sure I want it. Just remember "Little Britian" and "Computer Says No".

Most banks will be made irrelevant by 2030 - Gartner

Really? I think not. Too much is placed on "technology", and well lets face it the tech being applied to banking is simply wooden. One or two real innovators out thre will hit the jackpot and that yet unknown innovation may change it all. 2030? Much the same as 2018.
