On May 28th, the Financial Services Club is holding the second joint meeting with Intellect on Technology Trends - the first was in March and focused upon low latency - sponsored by Speechly Bircham.
This meeting will focus upon mobile as a financial channel.
The idea of mobile financial services has been a hot topic for a while now with many excursions into mobile finance from both banks and telco’s, with some successes and many failures.
More often than not we are now seeing successes, with mobile finance ranging from simple person-to-person payments via short text messages; to contactless payments on the underground through Barclaycard’s partnership with O2 and Oyster; to full financial services through Monitise’s infrastructure behind HSBC, Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds Banking Group.
What is the latest state of play?

- József Nyíri, Chief Technology Officer, IND Group
