Podcasts about contactless payments

Fi Sellick, head of UK strategy at Square, discusses how macroeconomic challenges impact small businesses as well as their payment providers, how Square is implementing AI across different markets and cryptocurrency's role in democratising finance. Square is a contactless payment system for businesses co-founded by Twitter creator Jack Dorsey. The company partners with firms offering support in payments and point-of-sale.

Over 1.6 billion contactless point of sale (POS) payments, valued at €28.3 billion, were made in shops, restaurants and other retail outlets in the 12 months to June 2025, according to the latest payments analysis published today in Banking & Payments Federation Ireland's (BPFI) Payments Monitor. The report reveals that contactless payments accounted for 87.9% of all POS card payments in H1 2025, with more than half of all contactless payments now made using mobile wallets such as Apple Pay or Google Pay, rather than cards. Speaking on the publication of the latest Payments Monitor, Gillian Byrne, Head of Payments, BPFI, stated: "Looking at the payments trends in today's report, we can see that contactless payments continue to be very popular with Irish consumers, accounting for almost nine out of ten point of sale (POS) card payments made in shops, restaurants and other retail outlets in Ireland in the first half of 2025. The use of smartphones and watches is growing in popularity and is the preferred payment device over physical cards for many consumers. Some 58.2% of contactless payments were made using mobile wallets rather than cards in the first half of 2025 (58.8% in Q2 2025), up from 52% in the same period of 2024. Overall, there were almost 454 million mobile wallet payments in Ireland on Irish cards in H1 2025, up 19.7% on the same period in 2024." Adoption of mobile wallet payments varies by region Looking at regional variations, Ms Byrne added: "Dublin had the highest number of contactless and mobile wallet payments per capita in Ireland at 392 and 238, respectively, in the twelve months ending June 2025, accounting for 39.1% of all contactless payments and 41.8% of mobile wallet payments. Carlow had the second-highest number of contactless payments per capita at 339, followed by Limerick with 299 and Waterford with 289. By contrast, Roscommon had the lowest contactless per capita at 139, behind Offaly with 148 and Monaghan at 157." As cash usage declines, digital euro plans will be key Ms Byrne continued: "As the popularity of contactless payments has grown, cash usage has fallen in recent years, with less than half of POS payments in Ireland made in cash in 2024, according to European Central Bank (ECB) survey data, down from about 54% two years earlier. While cash remains of vital importance to many people, a recent consumer survey commissioned by BPFI shows that 7% of consumers say they don't use cash, while most use it for small payments, with 54% holding less than €50 cash on hand. The ECB has noted the limitations of physical cash in an increasingly digital world and is seeking to complement it with a digital form of cash - the digital euro." "However, there is still some uncertainty as to how a digital euro will work, reflected in the fact that almost one in four (23%) said that they did not plan to use the digital euro, and 14% of consumers said they didn't know how much digital euro they expected to hold. When asked how they would use the digital euro, just under half of respondents stated they would be likely or very likely to use a digital euro for online purchases, sending money to friends or family or for POS payments. The ECB is expected to announce the next steps for the digital euro shortly, although it is likely we will see the rollout of digital euro wallets by banks in the years to come. However, the results of today's research points to the need for raising greater consumer awareness of the digital euro and how consumers could benefit from using it in the future." Efficiency and consumer experience must remain priorities for digital euro rollout She concluded: "Meanwhile, a recent PwC study commissioned by the European Credit Sector Associations estimates that implementing the digital euro could cost euro area banks about €18 billion - before ongoing running costs and enhancements are factored in. The focus must be on efficiency and long-term viability, giving banks and payment providers the...

Nowadays, many people are leaving home with simply a housekey and their phone. The days of carrying a purse or wallet are long gone. It comes as the minority of people use their physical bank card to make payments and in turn, use their phones for all of their purchases.A new report from the Banking & Payments Federation Ireland (BPFI) found that 58% of contactless payments made using the likes of Apple Pay and Google Pay were up from 52% in the same period of last year…With payments now being made so easy, do we take account of what we spend or have contact list payments caused us to become frivolous spenders?Joining guest host Anna Daly to discuss is Lecturer in Retail Management at TU Dublin, Damien O'Reilly, Account from Cloud Accounts, Alan Purcell, Paul Merriman, Financial Consultant at askpaul.ie and more.

We’ve all been caught out when using PayWave or contactless payment in stores, where we think we know how much we’re paying and then a surcharge adds a tiny bit more on that final price. Well, that’s about to change. The Government is planning to ban retailers from being able to add surcharges to most in-store card payments. It follows a decision by the Commerce Commission last week to reduce interchange fees paid by businesses for accepting credit card payments. So what does this all mean for consumers and business owners… are there more savings that could be made on these fees, or are they a consequence of trying to attract more competition to the market? Today on The Front Page, Massey University Associate Professor from the School of Accountancy, Economics and Finance, Claire Matthews, is with us to break down what this all means for you.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop chats with Gianluca Minoprio, the innovative mind behind Amanu and AmanuPay, a payment app aiming to make digital currency as seamless as cash. The conversation spans groundbreaking technology like ultrasound for contactless payments, the philosophy of currency competition inspired by Hayek's The Denationalization of Money, and the implications of blockchain, AI, and digital feudalism in shaping our future.

Unlike NFC, which requires specialized hardware, ultrasound enables seamless and decentralized payment exchanges between devices using microphones and speakers, paving the way for more inclusive and cost-effective digital currency solutions.Currency Competition as a Catalyst for Innovation: Drawing inspiration from Hayek's The Denationalization of Money, Gianluca discusses the concept of currency competition, where multiple currencies, including cryptocurrencies, could coexist and compete freely. This paradigm challenges centralized financial systems and encourages innovation, potentially leading to better financial tools and user experiences.AI as a Game-Changer in Development: AI tools like OpenAI's GPT and Copilot are reshaping the development process. Gianluca shares how AI-enabled coding helped him prototype a keyboard-integrated wallet for AmanuPay in record time during a hackathon. This reflects the growing potential of AI to democratize access to complex development capabilities, enabling rapid innovation.Blockchain's Potential in a Fragmented World: The episode highlights blockchain's role in offering a neutral, trustless medium for global transactions, particularly in a politically and economically fragmented world. Gianluca suggests that Bitcoin and other decentralized currencies are poised to become indispensable tools for cross-border trade and institutional collaboration.The Challenges of User Experience in Decentralized Systems: Currency competition brings its own set of challenges, particularly in user experience. Gianluca envisions solutions like integrated wallets that automatically convert currencies during transactions, eliminating the complexity of handling multiple forms of payment in a decentralized economy.The Rise of Digital Feudalism: Stewart and Gianluca explore the concept of "digital feudalism," where influential individuals like Elon Musk operate as modern digital warlords, leveraging decentralized technologies to wield power outside traditional hierarchies. This evolution reflects a blend of feudal and capitalist structures driven by competency and innovation.The Role of AI in Education and Creativity: AI's impact on education and creativity is transformative. Gianluca shares how AI-enhanced learning and development tools can streamline education by focusing on core creative and analytical skills while automating repetitive tasks. He emphasizes that while AI is excellent for prototyping, human creativity remains irreplaceable for truly novel and groundbreaking innovations.

New Zealanders can now make contactless payments entirely on iPhones. Any retailer with a supported iPhone can accept payments from cards or digital wallets. It's paid via an app from one of Apple's payments service partners including Stripe, Worldline, Windcave, and ANZ. Ben Hanna, Head of New Zealand at Stripe, told Mike Hosking that it cuts down on the costs of running a traditional Eftpos machine. He says it cuts down on hardware costs, deployment time, and administration. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mankind's born on earth, but it was never meant to die here.”- This quote from the epic movie Interstellar by Christopher Nolan makes us curious to explore what's beyond what we can't see i.e. the Space Economy which is being talked about in this podcast by our hosts Shouvik Das and Leslie D'Monte. They delve into the world of space startups, and if you are someone who are looking to explore the unknown this might be the right place to be with discussions about Space X, Skyroot Aerospace which has the highest funding of 95 million in India to a comparison with the US space economy. And do you know that Nokia is bringing back its tiny 2.4-inch 3210 phone, which has a feature of making contactless payments and even watch YouTube videos? Brings back the nostalgia, right?

In this episode, we're exploring a topic that's revolutionizing the patient payment landscape in healthcare: Digital Wallets and Contactless Payments. The days of writing checks and swiping cards are fading into the backdrop of healthcare payments. Today, we're witnessing a remarkable transformation, a shift towards more modern, tech-driven solutions. But what exactly are digital wallets and contactless payments? And how are they changing the way medical groups manage transactions? Digital wallets, like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay, are essentially your wallet in a digital form. These electronic devices or online services let individuals make electronic transactions effortlessly. And then there's contactless payments – using RFID or NFC technology, patients can now pay their medical bills with just a simple tap of their smartphone or contactless credit card. But how are these advanced payment options being adopted in healthcare? Well, it's not just about keeping up with technology but also about enhancing the patient experience. Imagine a patient finishing their consultation and simply tapping their phone on a reader to complete the payment. No fumbling for cards, no waiting for change. It's all about making the process seamless and secure. Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

Dean, John & Marko have been traveling, so we thought we'd revisit our most popular episode from the first year of the pod! It's also a great refresher on the struggle to introduce contactless payments to widespread use ahead of next week's new episode on Cryptocurrency. Enjoy! **** Contactless has become quite the buzzword this year, but contactless payments are not new. This week, we're joined by two VPs from the world of payments, PAX Technology's Heather Hatch & EVO Payments' PJ Tierney. They help us understand the technology and why this movement isn't as much of a headache as the switch to EMV was. What makes a payment contactless? Why was the US so far behind before the pandemic? What are the hardware needs? How are software partners adapting and how does BlueStar help? It's another episode where John complains about having any contact with other humans.   #VARValue – What should VARs do to help retailers get over the contactless hurdle?   TEConnecting with us: PJ - Niche vertical startups Heather - Innovation in a pandemic Dean - Walmart COVID test kit drone delivery John - Raised by Wolves on HBO Max   Sponsored by: EloPOS Pack Honeywell Smart Talk Zebra EC30 Mobile Computer   Talk to us!

The current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has saturated media across the globe. The information available to us is vast, expansive, and can be all-consuming. But a lot of this information is, understandably, geared heavily toward medical and social topics. In this episode, we explore the impact of covid-19 on fintech companies. We ask the question, what does this mean payment methods and the future of transactions across the globe? George Whitridge and Max Friedrich, FinTech analysts at ARK, talks about how various countries have responded to the push for contactless payment methods, the economic benefits we're seeing in contactless payments, and how companies and brands such as Zillow, Cash App, and DocuSign are responding to the current crisis. We also take a look at the response to the pandemic by The Small Business Administration and US banks, and why startups who live in uncertainty, are more likely to master this crisis than older business models. We ‘round off with some fascinating stats about just how dirty your credit and debit cards really are. If germs were a currency, perhaps we'd all still be in business?
