If nothing else, focusing a little bit more on the user experience so that people will have a better understanding of what this means."

She has been involved in leadership roles with some of the most technical, volunteer-driven organisations on the Internet, including IDPro as Principal Editor, the IETF, the IAB, and the IRTF as RFC Series Editor, ICANN as Technical Writer, and REFEDS as Coordinator, just to name a few. If there is work going on to develop new Internet standards, or discussions around the future of digital identity, she is interested in engaging in that work.

He also runs saifedean.com, a platform for online courses in economics. Erik Voorhees is among the top-recognized serial Bitcoin advocates and entrepreneurs, understanding Bitcoin as one of the most important inventions ever created by humanity. US Banking Regulator Suggests Federal Licensing Framework for Crypto Firms - Brian Brooks, chief operating officer of the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the nation's national bank overseer, said Monday he believes crypto companies could fall under a federal licensing regime – if they provide what can be described as payment services. Speaking at CoinDesk's Consensus: Distributed virtual conference, the former Coinbase chief legal officer said many crypto companies are payments companies, and it therefore might make sense to treat these startups – and other fintech firms like Stripe – the same way as banks are treated federally. "Crypto is one of those areas where we have to ask ourselves, does it make more sense to think of crypto projects as local projects or global projects. If they're global, then the rational for a single national license makes more sense," he said. "Increasingly, it looks a lot like crypto is banking for the 21st century."This would give these startups an alternative to the state-level money transmitter licenses when building operations.The European Central Bank (ECB) is looking into what a retail central bank digital currency (CBDC) form of the euro might look like - The ECB set up a task force earlier this year to look into what its potential CBDC could look like, and the group expects to publish a preliminary report in the coming weeks, said Mersch, an executive board member at the ECB. "A wholesale CBDC, restricted to a limited group of financial counter-parties, would be largely business as usual," Mersch said. "However, a retail CBDC, accessible to all, would be a game changer, so a retail CBDC is now our main focus." A retail CBDC could be based on a digital token circulated "in a decentralized manner," without a central ledger, Mersch said, though he stopped short of saying the words "blockchain" or "distributed ledger." He acknowledged that the traceability of digital transactions would raise privacy concerns among a population used to paying for some things with paper notes.Cold Currency War is brewing - Every sector is competing in a type of arms race to be a leader in the digital currency race.Vitalik Buterin said the Ethereum 2.0 protocol upgrade in July - Eth2 will change the consensus mechanism to proof-of-stake (PoS), is well on its way to launching sometime in July.Zcash Alliance Aims to Bring Privacy Tech to Bitcoin, Cosmos and Ethereum -A handful of big names in crypto want in on the privacy features offered by Zcash. The Electric Coin Company (ECC) announced Monday the launch of the Zcash Developers Alliance (ZDA), an invite-only working group that includes the Lightning Network startup Bolt Labs, the cross-chain technology startup Thesis, the Ethereum conglomerate ConsenSys and two leading startups working on the Cosmos project, Agoric and Iqlusion, just to name a few. “The ZDA is an attempt to introduce a way to collaborate with the ECC, and the Zcash ecosystem, which focuses around other people's priorities,” Iqlusion founder Zaki Manian said. “Product-market fit is other people [beyond fans and founders] actually caring about it.” Manian said the “Zcash anonymity set” is a “valuable public good,” describing how the privacy coin allows shielded transactions and the construct that allows individual transactions to get lost in the metaphorical crowd.

The New Arms Race: The Future of Digital Identity There is an arms race happening between fraudsters and financial institutions.

All while creating a seamless user experience for identity verification. Charlie Delingpole, ComplyAdvantage Husayn Kassai, Onfido Moderator: Steve Pannifer, Consult Hyperion

DAVID BIRCH Advisor on Fintech and Digital Financial Services Author, Before Babylon, Beyond Bitcoin: From Money We Understand to Money that Understands Us David G.W Birch is an author, advisor and commentator on digital financial services. He is Global Ambassador for Consult Hyperion (the secure electronic transactions consultancy that he helped to found), Technology Fellow at the Centre for the Study of Financial Innovation (the London-based think tank), a Visiting Professor at the University of Surrey Business School and holds a number of board-level advisory roles. Before helping to found Consult Hyperion in 1986, he spent several years working as a consultant in Europe, the Far East and North America. He graduated from the University of Southampton with a B.Sc (Hons.) in Physics. Dave was named one of the global top 15 favorite sources of business information (Wired magazine) and one of the top ten most influential voices in banking (Financial Brand); created one of the top 25 “must read’ financial IT blogs; was found to be one of the top ten Twitter accounts followed by innovators, along with Bill Gates and Richard Branson (PR Daily); was ranked in the top three most influential people in London’s FinTech community (City A.M.), was voted one of the European “Top 40” people in digital financial services (Financial News), was listed of the world’s top 100 most influential FinTech leaders (Hot Topics) and rated Europe’s most influential commentator on emerging payments (Total Payments). Described at the Oxford Internet Institute as “one of Britain’s most acute observers of the internet and social networks”, in The Telegraph as “one of the world’s leading experts on digital money”, in The Independent as a "grade-A geek", by the Centre for the Study of Financial Innovation as "one of the most user-friendly of the UK's uber-techies" and in Financial World as "mad", he has lectured to MBA level on the impact of new information and communications technologies.

In the London School of Economics (LSE) Review of Books it was described as a timely and illuminating contribution which should be widely read by graduate students of finance, financial law and related topics, as well as policymakers involved in financial regulation.  

Neil Garner's background in technology led him from consulting to building contactless products. On his rocky eight-year journey he zig-zagged between running a company solo to NFC deals with Guinness and Nokia. In this episode, Neil revisits the decisions that took him on this odyssey. When the sector was disrupted by Apple he stepped down, and is now a serial entrepreneur. While he prefers face-to-face investment, he is currently crowdfunding his most recent venture; here he explains why and the crucial lessons to remember when taking this route. Neil Garner is a company founder, CEO, CTO, product innovator and board advisor with a long track record of creating & leading teams to deliver innovative new consumer services in the mobile payments, loyalty and marketing space. His latest business is Thyngs; he was co-founder and CEO of WhiteSpace Norwich, and co-founder & chairman of TechVelocity. He founded Proxama, which become a global leader in mobile wallets and mobile proximity marketing, and before that was a board director of Consult Hyperion. Everything Neil works on has always been guided by a strong belief that the real world and digital world can be better connected via smartphones, with simple, easy to use technologies like NFC enabling mass-market adoption of omni channel commerce through awesome experiences. He is also passionate about the evolution of Norwich, UK, as a tech city and Norfolk, UK, as a wonderful place to live. He has an MEng and DPhil from York University (building AI for speech recognition), and is also a charted engineer.

We were lucky enough to have David Birch from Consult Hyperion join us in the Ravelin offices to talk about payments and PSD2. Birch is much more than someone banks turn to in need: he’s an author, advisor and regular commentator in the fintech industry.

Payment and identity security and transactions are at the core of the consulting work done by Consult Hyperion. During any sort of transaction, users need to be able to pay for services, and companies or government agencies who are providing those services need to be able to verify who is completing the transaction. Identity, in particular, becomes a big issue because most people's digital identities and accounts are safeguarded by passwords only. This can become a weak link if multiple accounts use the same password, causing problems and friction for all parties involved. Individuals may not want their governments to be the keeper of their digital identities, for reasons ranging from privacy concerns to fears that governments may abruptly change. A solution that Consult Hyperion is currently working on in conjunction with the Canadian banking system allows for online identity authentication through distributed ledger technology. Once authenticated, these identities can be encrypted and transmitted through an intermediary to the Canadian government, allowing citizens to access various government services without compromising the security of their identities and related data.

Dave is truly multi-talented, he is the author of "Identity is the New Money", which was his book that came out in 2014. He's a public speaker, world traveler, and needless to say a consultant in the payments space and works with Consult Hyperion. We discuss the importance of identity and where it is heading with respect to payments. In our pre-show discussion, David hinted about the new book he is writing so we will have him say a few words about that as well.

Having done a few Alternative Finance shows recently it's important to recall that there is another hardcore Fintech sector that is already changing the world (as opposed to threatening to in the future). This is payments. One quarter of the Fintech50 are payments companies and when I looked a little while ago there were well over a thousand on Angelslist. So we definitely need a super sherpa to guide us through this landscape. Consult Hyperion are an independent technical and strategic consultancy that specialises in secure electronic transactions. For two decades they have been working with technologies ranging from smart cards and mobile phones to contactless tickets and electronic ID in mass-market systems that include global payments, national and regional ticketing, international settlement, national identity and corporate  services. So I think they might know a bit :-) Dave – besides being a member of the Amalgamated Union of Wheeltappers, Shunters and Podcasters was a founding director of the Consult Hyperion, is now their global ambassador and has decades of experience under his belt. A very rich show with plenty about what is really going on with payments - especially from the strategic big picture perspective which certainly helps put the semi-infinite number of payments startups into some kind of context. Topics discussed include: - what a global ambassador actually does as a day job :-) - the consistency of the three complaints about the payments sector (too slow, too expensive and too opaque) in recent decades  and which of these are driving innovation right now - the technological changes enabling and driving Fintech payments progress right now - the importance of regulation in driving change in payments with regulators consistently driving payments away from banks over recent years; the recent EU moves around debit and credit interchange fees (and what they actually are :-D) - the extra valued-added from new payments players - deep-dive discussions on what Dave sees as the five key trends in Fintech payments right now: ....In-app payments ...."Re-localisation" (and the two meanings of this) ....Privacy ....Blockchain ....Internet of things - the trends Consult Hyperion are seeing in the business coming their way at the moment as a weather vane of what is hot in payments - and much much more :-) A very rich and enlightening conversation about the tectonic change in this industry sector!  

In David Birch's book “Identity is the New Money,” cash is passé. Regarding ID's Gina Jordan spoke with Birch, director and global ambassador for Consult Hyperion, about his book which focuses on the technological changes that are merging payments with identity. He argues that social connections and mobile phones can work together to provide private and secure transactions. He finishes the book by calling for a rethinking of identity infrastructure, also known as entitlement infrastructure.

With Chip and PIN in full well established across the UK, fraud figures are painting an interesting picture of its impacts. Is it really making a difference when it comes to the never-ending battle against fraud?
