2018
Since PSD2 became effective in January 2018, the market has slowly started to act on it. We see that until now only a few banks have published their PSD2 APIs. The main reason for this slow take-up lies in the fact that the RTS (Regulatory Technical Standards), which determine how some of the PSD2 stipulations […]

It is impossible to know what banks will look like in ten years’ time. The question whether the current banks will all still exist in a decennium is even justified. More than half of the visitors of the session The bank of Tomorrow on the second day of Sibos expect that only 40 to 60 […]
SIBOS day 2 – Darwin already knew: agility is key for survival, also for banks

According to Thomas Feiler, Head of Payments Product Management at equensWorldline, Charles Darwin predicted the fate of banks years ago, when he actually talked about the theory of biological evolution. “It is not the strongest species that survive, nor the most intelligent that survive. It is the ones that are most adaptable to change,” Darwin […]

In the not too distant past, our industry was considered traditional, fixed and a bit dull, but anyone walking around the International Convention Centre in Sydney during Sibos this Monday knows that those times are far behind us. There will never again be a dull moment in the world of payments. This is illustrated by […]
SIBOS day 1 – Open Banking requires radical changes

Oct
2018
Banks should start from scratch when creating new business models rather than creating them step-by-step on top of their current business. Besides that, it is currently trendy to look at possibilities in the field of business to consumer, but especially in the field of corporate banking there is great potential. These were just a few […]
Interesting times in the world of payments

In all fifteen years that I have worked in the world of payments, I have never seen a more interesting period than the past few years. Just think about it: in the past, banks led major developments in the payment industry, which usually lasted for decades. ATMs, for example, have existed for more than half […]
‘Why are there no European companies competing in the battle for global payment solutions?’

Europe is largely dependent on non-European systems, such as PayPal, for cross-border (card) payments. The reason for this is that there is still no European payment system for the whole continent, partly because European banks mainly focus on serving their national markets. In the development of new payment services, this must change, says Yves Mersch, […]

Banks closely monitor how technological innovations are rapidly disrupting the payments landscape. The introduction of Instant Payments, competition from fintechs and the PSD2 regulations continue to put the business models of banks under extreme pressure. Liz Oakes, Associate Partner at McKinsey & Company, explains why it is good that banks, partly under pressure from the […]

Mobile first has been the philosophy of BNP Paribas, one of the largest banks in the eurozone, for two years now. Not that strange, because the number of French customers that visit the bank only via their smartphone has risen explosively in the past four years: from 175.000 to 1.2 million. Out of a total […]
‘The fragmented payment landscape leads to more complexity and security concerns for consumers’

Five years ago, visiting a physical banking branch for cash or advice was a given. In a short time, however, mobile payment solutions have largely replaced these visits. Not just banks, but also third parties have created new mobile payment solutions, often in the form of apps and digital wallets. The result: multiple wallets and […]
