Dear Subscriber,

It’s still very early days, but momentum is definitely building in the digital challenger bank space. In the same month as new research shows more and more people are turning away from in-branch and phone banking to mobile apps, Mondo, a digital-only bank, has received its banking licence and adds further competition to a market that already includes Atom, Tandem and Starling.

Elsewhere in the newsletter, Standard Chartered has committed to rolling out fingerprint and voice recognition technology across Asia, Africa and the Middle East, whilst ACI Worldwide’s Michael Grillo asks, ‘Are consumers still concerned about fraud?’

Enjoy!
