  • Could stablecoins pull the rug from under the US markets?
    von Chris M Skinner
    This is quite a complicated update, but it came to mind when I saw that JPMorgan analysts are predicting stablecoins could destabilise the traditional financial markets. This is because the Federal Reserve decided in April that money funds created for the sole purpose of accessing its overnight reverse repo facility, which is called ON RRP,… The post Could stablecoins pull the rug from under the US markets? appeared first on Chris Skinner's blog.

  • Should we teach our children the system or the alternative system?
    von Chris M Skinner
    When I was a lad – a good start for any commentary – we didn’t know nothing about money. I got pocket money from my dad but, if I begged hard enough and long enough, my dad would relent and buy me that Batman Corgi car I had been lusting after. At school, they taught… The post Should we teach our children the system or the alternative system? appeared first on Chris Skinner's blog.

  • Ever wondered what Gen Z think of your bank?
    von Chris M Skinner
    I was intrigued by The Financial Brand’s autumn (Fall) magazine about younger folks or, as some call them, Gen Z. Personally, I’m not a fan of demographics. You can throw people into buckets of ages, but not everyone of a certain age behaves the same way. Neverhteless, there are some interesting perspectives of how Gen… The post Ever wondered what Gen Z think of your bank? appeared first on Chris Skinner's blog.

  • AI, cloud and ESG are top of mind with bankers
    von Chris M Skinner
    It’s interesting how trends rise. Over the past few years, I’ve been writing a lot about the impact of ESG and AI on banking, so it intrigued me to see a new survey of over 300 bankers about what’s new in banking. Key findings of the report include: Emerging innovations such as AI are cited as… The post AI, cloud and ESG are top of mind with bankers appeared first on Chris Skinner's blog.

  • Mercedes-Benz launches fingerprint payments with Mastercard … meh?
    von Chris M Skinner
    A few people got excited about the news this week that Mercedes-Benz had launched in-car fingerprint payments in partnership with Mastercard. I didn’t. In fact, it still amazes me how little we have developed since my days at NCR, then owned by AT&T. This was the 1990s and AT&T had this fantastic set of adverts… The post Mercedes-Benz launches fingerprint payments with Mastercard … meh? appeared first on Chris Skinner's blog.

  • Do you need to be in finance to start a fintech?
    von Chris M Skinner
    I saw an interesting comment the other day that got lots of shares, likes and clicks: fintech founders MUST have some experience in banking or financial services background first before they are funded. Many fintech neophytes destroy so much value not out of deliberate actions but just pure ignorance. Funnily enough the person making this… The post Do you need to be in finance to start a fintech? appeared first on Chris Skinner's blog.
