The Future of Money is Dependent on the Transparency of Data - Tradeshift
Today I’m speaking at the Future of Money & Technology summit . This of course is an area, I’m highly passionate about, and even more so of the topic on which I’m speaking “Big data and the cost of money”. I find it ironic that we are currently obsessed with how we pay for goods. Take for example Square, Google Wallet, Mobile, NFC, etc. when paying probably is one of the most efficient infrastructures created by man. Sure we can shave off some margins and very good businesses can be built on those models, but it’s hardly disruptive. I believe strongly that REAL innovation will come from big data, or rather the transparency of BIG data.
Payments cost a bomb - but not for long - The Irish Times - Mon, Apr 09, 2012
INNOVATION TALK: IMAGINE THE future. You walk into a shop, pick up whatever it is you’re looking for – a vintage 2014 Bordeaux, say – and bring it to the counter. “How would you like to pay?” asks the sales assistant.
New Payment APIs: a Survey of Innovation, Pride, and Suspicion
Exchanging currency for items or services is such an old time tradition and yet there are so many ways it can be done. I’ve just taken a stroll through the payment systems neighborhood and I’ve felt inspiration from the innovators FaceCash & Dwolla, pride in my home state operator PowerPay, and murky suspicion toward JunglePay. The innovators in payment systems are web savvy, nimble operations that are pushing the envelope in today’s payment system culture. FaceCash’s core function is the ability to instantly and easily transfer money person to person.Google/TXVIA « FinVentures
Congrats to Google and the TXVIA team. Given that Google is a client of mine I’m not going to comment on anything specific here.. but clearly this deal significantly expands the reach of Google at the POS. No longer will Google Wallet be dependent on a few thousand NFC phones in market. The primary reason for my post is that a senior retail executive just rang me to tell me they are concerned about Google’s wallet and card strategy. It seems I was incorrect in dismissing the WSJ article on a Retailer Wallet.
The Five Faceless Companies That Control Your Money - Business Insider
In late March, a payments processor called Global Payments experienced an enormous security breach, and 1.5 million credit and debit cards from Visa and MasterCard were compromised in the process. As a consumer, this must be at least a little bewildering. Your bank’s name is on the card. Visa or MasterCard’s logo is on it. Who the hell is Global Payments and why did they get to build the sloppy security protocols that led to my data being compromised? It’s not a bad question, after all.

Walk into a grocery store or your neighborhood specialty market today and you'll see the basics of a high level point of sale system: bar code scanners, thermal receipt printers, cash drawers, pole displays, and cashier work stations. But what sets this high-traffic, speed-oriented industry apart from other point of sale users is the need for fast and accurate scanning combined with precise weighing of products. That means you'll also want the best scanner and scale combination, capable of maintaining a high level of check-out speed without sacrificing accuracy. When putting together a grocery store point of sale system, the choice of hardware and software is based on whether the store will include just one lane or multiple lanes for customer checkout. When building a single-lane system, you'll need just a stand-alone POS, while multiple lanes will require a networked system with each lane tied into the system.

The payments market is changing at lightspeed. Startups are launching new services and incumbants are paying attention. Three key trends that are driving a good portion of the changes are: The intersection of these three trends is one of the white spaces for startups to disrupt the payments ecosystem.

Where Security Fits In The Payments Processing Chain | First Data
With over 20 billion credit card purchase transactions in the US in 2009 and a highly complex system for processing those transactions, it’s not surprising that credit card information is a key target for thieves. Thieves have become adept at exploiting numerous vulnerabilities in the consumer-merchant-acquirer payment processing chain to gain access to this information. Fortunately, there are cost-effective solutions that are available to help secure sensitive data and reduce compliance costs. Learn more about protecting you and your clients’ data by reading our whitepaper titled Where It Fits in the Payments Processing Chain. You can also listen to a playback of our Security and the Payments Environment webinar and review our presentation slides from the webinar.

Alternative Payments and Airlines: ATPS2009 Day 1 — Payments Vie
Alternative payments were the first topic of the day at ATPS 2009 . Here’s a round up of my impressions after a full day of panel discussion and presentations. Once the presentations are up on the ATPS site I will provide links to each speaker’s deck.I’ve been spending a bunch of time recently thinking about last cash markets – markets that are still dominated by cash payment – and how electronic payment can penetrate these markets. Some of these markets (vending, taxis, paid parking) are huge (measured in billions). The lack of connectivity with the point of acceptance is a huge issue for some of these verticals; low cost “back-channel” the point of acceptance is an absolute requirement for electronic payment to crack some of these markets.

Payment Wars - Corduro Takes on Square, PayPal - NYTimes.com
The company has built a sophisticated cloud platform that allows it to offer a host of features, including a digital mobile wallet service for consumers as well as a payment service and back-end CRM system for merchants. By wearing a bunch of hats as a payment processor, gateway and technology integrator, and putting it all together into an intelligent vertical system, Corduro is able to provide a broader set of services and process core payments at a lower price. The savings will be one of the first things to catch the attention of merchants. According to Corduro, which came out of stealth mode Wednesday, merchants and people who accept payments through Corduro pay up to 30 percent less in fees.Financements
