InComms VP of Digital Solutions, Mike Fletcher, has written a great piece for Paymentsource, analyzing how Generation Z – „the Millenials“ – are driving change for the payments industry.
As banks increasingly turn to biometrics to secure ATM transactions, Kaspersky Lab is warning that crooks are already selling skimming devices that they claim can steal fingerprints. Unfortunately, nothing less was to be expected. And that even works without the use of severed body parts… Read the full report at FinExtra.
Peter Bayley, EVP Risk Management at Visa, asked this question on Politico. This is about the plans of the EU Commission to enforce strong user authentication for payments transactions with PSD 2. Its a great read and shows good alternative paths, which do not cause frustration and additional steps for the consumer. While this is sponsored content (and I guess it is sponsored by Visa), I still believe it is very relevant in the discussion.
I personally have ambivalent feelings when it comes to Blockchain technology and it´s use cases. There are many reasons to consider it a hype and to believe that it may be beneficial for some niche aspects but is not a solution for the global transaction backends. Also there are very valid questions around crypto currencies and their relevance.
One thing for sure is clear: Both started a discussion and that alone is good and healthy. But the hype turns me off, really.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT, just released ALL of its training classes for the general public and for free. Thats a brilliant move – thank you MIT! Also it will be a tool to make knowledge more democratic. Anywhere, no matter what the budget is. Thumbs up from me for that. This cannot be valued enough.
You can access the training courses here. Get going. 🙂

Blockchain – Problem or Solution?

Now there was a good read in American Banker with the head-line „Does Blockchain Tech Solve Security Problems Or Cause New Ones?“. The article is worth reading. Nailed it.
