The Apple-isation of banks: worship on the High Street

“In the third week of September 2014, thousands of people organised themselves into neat lines that snaked along the city blocks of New York, Seattle, and London. Sleeping in cardboard boxes, or keeping wakeful vigil through the night, they were participants in a biennial ritual”. This description written in The Atlantic , was not, as you might think, a description of some religious ritual or of the public reaction to the latest One Direction album.

The wifi payments world of the very near future

I was talking about the internet of things again today, and realised that I have a grand vision of the not too distant future where everything communicates with everything.  We have chips as tiny as nanodots inside every brick, pavement slab, tyre, wall, ceiling … you name it.  We have more intelligent chips inside car engines, visual entertainment systems (the TV is no more), wearable devices from rings to necklaces to bags to shoes.  Everything is communicating with everything and our devices are all attached to us through the blockchain.

A Minority of the UK now rely on Banks for their International Money Transfers

Non-cash Payments Overtook Cash Payments For The First Time

Dave Hobday, MD of Worldpay UK, said:

“We know that 10% of Brits don’t carry any cash on them, so if you’re only taking cash payments, that’s one in 10 potential customers who will never consider shopping with you.

“When all the recent talk is around technology making payments fast, secure and convenient, notes and coins increasingly seem like something our children will laugh about in the future.
