| | FinTalk is a fresh new podcast series where we drill down into what drives the brightest minds in finance and tech today. | | | PAY.ON explains how it helped Planet Payment start winning merchants again by upgrading its tech to support different payment needs. | | | Apple looks to bounce back from a bad quarter by pushing on with promoting one of the positives: Apple Pay. The service has finally broken down the resistance of Australia’s ‘Big Four’ banks when ANZ announced that it will offer Apple Pay to its five million customers. | | | There’s more good news for UK remittance firm Azimo this week as the company announces $15m in new funding in a round led by Japan’s Rakuten as it looks to carve off a bigger chunk of the $600bn global remittance market. | | | Whilst in hindsight 2015 was by no means “the year of Apple Pay” that Tim Cook predicted, it could be argued to be the year of mobile payments – in the sense that’s when the technology got more traction.
