Two HUGE payment events this week
Amazon 2%
Per Bloomberg, consumers that don’t want to go for the 5% back Amazon store card (SYF) can now link their DDA and earn 2% back. This may be the biggest payment innovation of the year!
Apple announced Apple Pay Cash yesterday at their WWDC (see recode article). Summary.. Apple gets an A+! I love the simplicity and the intuitive nature of how this works in a messaging metaphor that customers are familiar with (ie not introducing another app).
Great articles yesterday
This year, the iab (interactive advertising bureau) labeled 2017 as the Year of Measurement. Understanding why, and what is changing here is key for retail, banking and advertising. Most of us know the adage “measure what you want to manage”. As an engineer, I view measurement as the key feedback loop in any system or process. In order to gain feedback (close the loop), you must know what happened.
Its tough to find time to Blog as a CEO…. Most of you my blogs are sometimes snarky and tactless (making NOT offending someone a new consideration).
I was taking a look at JPMC’s latest investor presentation and noticed that ChaseNet is gone.. Why? I’ve written on JPMC and ChaseNet a number of times over last 6 yrs. Today I’ll cover my views on the latest developments and my views on JPMC’s ChaseNet strategy. Lets recap first:
No one reads my long blogs.. so my 2017 resolution is to break them up into smaller thought “chunks”.
I can’t believe its been 2.5 yrs since I wrote Brokering Identity. The central element of that blog, and today is to take a “trust” view of Network and Platform strategies. The rules, standards and processes by which trust is managed are critical to the success of networked businesses and markets from eBay to Visa/MA to the NYSE.
Most have seen Apple’s earning’s transcript, with following key ApplePay Excerpts:
I’m super excited about ApplePay in browser (my last blog)… and how it works with the touch ID in the new Macbook. Online merchants have only a few days of effort (see Stripe) to integrate into online checkout flows. ApplePay eCommerce will blast past POS volume in 18 month (from today).
I’m excited to announce the launch of our first product, databridgeTM. It’s no secret that banks, retailers and mobile operators have great data. The challenge for these companies has been in how they let their data “play” in a privacy-centric model that controls both WHO can use the data and HOW the data is used (see Data Leakage). This is the core of databridge, with an initial focus on enabling transaction data to measure marketing effectiveness.
