Dear Subscriber,

In PaymentEye this week, in an industry caught between the rock of regulation and the hard place of consumer demand, the only way out for banks looking to differentiate is to become smarter with technology. We give you a run down of the most exciting recent technological investments within banking.

Elsewhere, Open Banking starts to pick up traction in the industry with John Hutton, director of payments at Nationwide, declaring “payments is a new battleground”. In this long read, we get a multi industry perspective from Nationwide, Starling, BNP Paribas and Faster Payments.

Read, enjoy and share.
