Here is our pick of the 3 most important stablecoin stories during the week.

Are CBDC’s preparing to use regulators to out compete better alternatives?

CBDC implementations are still in the very early stages and yet there are signs that Regulators are blocking and stifling innovation.

The European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets legislation could effectively ban dollar-pegged stablecoins like USDT and USDC in 27 member states. This would have dire consequences for the entire EU crypto market.

EU Stablecoin Ban Would Cause “Extreme Volatility,” Lobbyists Warn – Crypto Briefing

Also in a controversial move by US Department of Treasury who announced sanctions against the crypto mixer Tornado Cash, saying the service had been used to launder over $7 billion worth of illicitly-gained crypto in just three years, a good chunk of that being funds stolen by hackers tied to sanctioned nations like North Korea. Those sanctions effectively put a litany of wallets associated with Tornado on a do-not-do-business-with list.

Crypto proponents have had problems with this move, mainly complaining that, instead of sanctioning any individuals, the restrictions targeted a decentralized smart contract and the code surrounding it. Now the Washington Post reported Wednesday that, based on data from crypto intelligence firm Dune Analytics, the company behind Tether has not blacklisted any of the sanctioned crypto accounts tied to Tornado Cash.

Many Central Banks (some 109) are busy looking at CBDC’s but only a handful have actually launched and they have one thing in common, a notoriously weak sovereign Fiat currency and hence dollarized economies.

Nigeria	Launched	Retail
The Bahamas	Launched	Retail
Jamaica	Launched	Retail
Anguila	Launched	Retail

Montserrat	Launched	Retail
Dominica	Launched	Retail
Saint Lucia	Launched	Retail
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines	Launched	Retail
Grenada	Launched	Retail

So in summary, CBDC’s have only been launched in countries that Fiat has largely failed, you can understand why, it’s like a hail mary pass by Central Banks to cling on to some relevance in their economies.  But will successful Fiat economies use regulators to gain an advantage or will they compete on a fair basis with existing and yet to be developed stablecoins?

https://bankautomationnews.com/allposts/payments/4-things-consumers-expect-from-a-payments-system/

Consumers are empowered to do almost everything themselves online or via mobile—from comparing prices to checking in at the airport. Where there’s a will, consumers want a way, and that includes procuring their own customer service in the fastest, most convenient way possible. Here are a few things your financial institution can do to ensure you are meeting today’s consumer preferences and needs.

1. Intuitive interface and quick ability to pay

Time is of the essence to consumers. They want to be able to do things, like make loan payments, as quickly and easily as possible. One potentially critical strategy to meet consumer expectations is to implement real-time payment capabilities. Financial institutions have a solid customer base, and by forming direct connections and introducing convenient options, there is the potential to satisfy a big customer need in their daily lives, and solidify their loyalty. By utilizing a single platform to handle payments through self-service and internal operations, as well as processing ACH and card transactions in the same environment, you can make it easier for consumers and your team to effectively manage convenient payments. This also requires making it easier and faster to pay via a simplified and intuitive transactional structure that breaks up the payment processes into simplified steps a consumer can easily follow.

2. Trust in the technology and partnership through financial institutions

With technology evolving at a rapid pace, financial institutions have the pressure of keeping up-to-speed with FinTech and new technology firms continuously coming up with novel ideas. But all is not lost for financial institutions. They have a huge asset in the established trust of their customer base. These customers have a comfort level in doing transactions with their financial institutions that does not exist with start-up technology firm. When offering new technology, financial institutions must have enough of their account holders’ trust to successfully promote and brand the technology. In turn, the financial institution builds a solid reputation with their borrowers that they can offer innovative technology.

The technology that financial institutions promote should have a variety of payment options, robust and secure systems integration options, and provide a pleasing experience. Creating a strong payments brand, and demonstrating that your technology can be trusted by providing recorded demonstrations, and simple to understand instructions on a dedicated “ways you can pay page,” can go a long way in cultivating trust and growth through your desired payments.

3. Integrated payment options and reasonable costs

More and more, consumers are demanding a broader choice of payment options, expecting to be able to make payments anytime, anywhere, using any method. Consumers are becoming more fickle and less loyal in their choice of providers, and financial institutions must adapt or succumb to growing competition.

Today, consumers make purchasing decisions using all available channels, and they’re extending their omni-channel preferences to financial institutions as well. As a result of experiences in other industries, consumers expect simple transactions and “omni-commerce,” the integration and consistency of payments across channels and devices, to create a seamless, superior customer experience.

A critical component of a successful multi-channel payments strategy, is the effective balancing of costs your organization incurs for payment operations and the fees you may assess to your account holders. It is no secret zero, or smaller, fees are always appreciated by your account holders.  When it comes to offering flexible payment options, having a strong plan to cover your operational costs and drive consumer adoption is critical.  The goal is to provide the most convenience without your account holders, or yourselves, suffering from sticker-shock for taking a payment.  Thinking about payments as part of your overall budget and operating costs, can help you reduce your operational costs on this front without upsetting account holders.

This demand for broader choice in payments by consumers in an integrated and consistent manner is in large part due to the very high growth in electronic payments of all types, across all markets. From the growth of payment cards for low-value, day-to-day use, the development of online and now mobile commerce channels, to the growing rates of financial inclusion in all markets, consumers now have more choice in their payment tools than ever before, and increasingly expect a variety of integrated options. As a result, financial institutions must adapt and offer a growing range of cost-efficient payment tools to their customers to further their growth.

4. Convenience and preferred payment methods

Omni-channel consumers expect easy access to information—when they want it, where they want it, and in whatever channel they choose. They hold a high comfort level when using mobile devices as part of a multichannel experience and are using mobile to connect the online and offline worlds. For example, according to the report referenced above, these younger consumers are more likely than average to use coupons received on their phones.

Although the emerging omni-channel consumer is typically a younger person, that might not always be the case. There are pockets of older consumers—primarily technology-savvy segments—that share the enthusiasm for mobile payments but also have strong cross-channel behaviors. So just because mobile is a preferred method of payment for omni-channel consumers, convenience is still at the top of their list, and it’s important not to lose sight of other payment channels like online, IVR (Interactive Voice Response), cash (ex: MoneyGram), and customer service representative (CSR)-assisted.

With more options than ever, today’s consumers want their banking experience to be fast, easy, and secure, with the latest and greatest technology. By keeping up with consumers needs and the latest technology, financial institutions stand to gain flexibility, improved customer satisfaction, increased payment activity, and improved operational efficiency.

https://finovate.com/truist-wealth-launches-new-roboadvisor-truist-invest/

• Truist Wealth unveiled a pair of new investment solutions this week: a roboadvisor Truist Invest and a hybrid investment platform Truist Invest Pro.
• Truist Invest provides a personalized investment portfolio based on the user’s goals, risk tolerance, and current investments. Truist Invest Pro adds access to a team of financial advisors.
• Truist Wealth is a division of Truist Financial Corporation, a top ten U.S. with $545 billion in total assets.

Truist Wealth, a division of Truist Financial Corporation, announced the launch of two new investment solutions this week: roboadvisor Truist Invest and hybrid investment platform Truist Invest Pro, which blends automated investing with access to human financial advisors.

Both solutions were developed by a cross-functional team of designers, engineers, innovators, and product managers who co-created the new offerings in client journey rooms at the Truist Innovation and Technology Center. A combination of agile work strategies, direct client feedback, and iterative product design enabled the team to optimize both solutions ahead of their launch this year.

“Investors want digital solutions that are secure, intuitive to use, and able to help meet their needs whether they are a new or experienced investor,” Truist Wealth SVP of Digital Investing Kacy Howard said. “Truist Invest and Truist Invest Pro can help give clients control and confidence in their portfolio whether they choose a fully digital or hybrid solution to invest in their future.”

Truist Invest gives customers a tailored portfolio recommendation based on their goals, risk tolerance, and current investments. Truist Invest provides a daily portfolio analysis and supports both automated rebalancing and tax loss harvesting. A hybrid investment solution, Truist Invest Pro provides both the digital capabilities of Truist Invest as well as access to a team of financial advisors who can help customers build a personalized investment portfolio and provide ongoing investment advice. Accounts for both offerings can be opened with as little as $5,000. Truist Invest charges an annual fee of 0.50%, with Truist Invest Pro costing users 0.85%. Both fees are based on the assets under management, with a $90 per account annual minimum,

Truist Chief Wealth Officer Joseph M. Thompson put the new offerings in a broader context of the company’s goal of providing its customers with personalized service that maximizes the opportunity of digital technology in the investing space. “Digital investing solutions are an example of Truist’s T3 strategy which combines the client’s preferred level of personalized touch and innovative technology to create trust,” Thompson said. “Truist Invest and Truist Invest Pro provide simple and secure access to a portfolio that is purpose-built to help an investor achieve their goals and is backed by our investment expertise that can help individuals and families build better lives.”

A division of Truist Financial Corporation, Truist Wealth serves affluent, high, and ultra-high net worth individuals, families, and business owners in the U.S. and around the world. The firm’s services range from investing and retirement, trust and estate planning, and lending, to banking and risk management. Parent company Truist is a top 10 U.S. commercial bank with $545 billion in total assets, and 15 million clients across the U.S.. The bank recently announced the acquisition of Zaloni’s Arena platform, which will help Truist enhance its data governance, metadata management, advanced analytics, and AI/ML programs.

We spoke with Truist Financial’s Chief Retail & Small Business Banking Officer Dontá Wilson earlier this year at FinovateSpring about the pace of digital transformation in financial services and the importance of building a culture of innovation.

https://dailyfintech.com/2022/08/29/invisible-money-invisible-payments/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=invisible-money-invisible-payments

We use to pay for things with cash, then we used plastic cards, and now we use our phones to pay for whatever we want to buy. In the next step, payments will disappear altogether and become completely invisible.

“Embedded payments” are one of the hottest trends in the market with billions being invested, yet most people have not even heard of the term, and those that have don’t even understand what it means.

The embedded payments industry is growing at a rapid pace, with revenues expected to grow from $43 billion in 2021 to $138 billion in 2026. JPMorgan’s proprietary research and analysis, as of October 2021, suggests that embedded payments account for $1.1 trillion in global payment volumes. Big numbers!

Embedded payments, as the name suggests, are about embedding financial capabilities into a non-financial app, so that users can transact without leaving the app. From the user’s perspective, the payments are invisible, as they don’t have to think about it.

Uber is probably the first example of an app using embedded payments. With the push of a button, we could find and pay for a cab right from our phones. This was a huge leap in reimagining the customer experience.

Today, there is an endless number of apps using embedded payments. Open your smartphone and scroll through the various apps you use and count how many have embedded payments or how many have their own card.

Among the most notable embedded payment examples are Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, and other forwarders of financial services.

On an iPhone, Apple Pay lets us make online, in-app, and physical purchases at a POS using our phone’s passcode (or by scanning our fingerprints or our face). We have the same capabilities using Googe Pay on Android phones. Beyond payments, apps are now able to hold deposits, issue cards, add funds to mobile wallets, accept and decide credit applications, facilitate trades, and convert/purchase cryptocurrency using euros and dollars and vice versa.

Another example is Starbucks. Customers can order coffee using the Starbucks app and then get in line to pick up their coffee at that counter. The coffee is paid for by an invisible pre-funded payment method. It’s no surprise that the Starbucks payment method was used by 48% of US customers in May 2020. After loading cash onto the app, payments are invisible and instant, and best of all Starbucks has tied it with its loyalty program to drive even more usage.

Consumers have more financial products at their fingertips than ever before, including thousands of cryptocurrencies. However, using crypto payments is too hard for the average person. The web3 user experience is simply not intuitive enough and introduces more personal risk than most are comfortable with.

One way of embedding crypto into payments is to take advantage of existing rails.

Last week Mastercard revealed a partnership with Binance that will enable its customers to make crypto payments in 90 million stores that support Mastercard. With the new Binance Card, when customers make a purchase, cryptocurrencies will be converted to fiat currency in real time at the point of sale. This way crypto is being embedded in payments and becoming a viable form of payment.

Another way is with services by providers like Nium, Striga, and Modulr which offer “Crypto as a Service” (CaaS). These services plug into existing banking and financial tech infrastructure and make it easy for organizations to offer crypto services to their customers, both B2B and B2C. You can think of it as an additional layer added to the modular banking stack.

The covid pandemic changed our payment habits.

Cards used to be the simplest way to pay for things. There was no need to carry cash around, all you needed to do was to swipe, enter your PIN and you were done. Now smartphones with digital wallets are the norm, and we can make contactless payments by holding our phone near a POS terminal and confirming the payment with our phone’s authentication system.

But the idea that cash or cards could potentially help spread the virus has changed our behavior and pushed us to pay for things in ways that did not involve any contact whatsoever between the payer and the receiver. Since the pandemic started, a quarter (24%) of consumers are using digital wallets more frequently now than a year ago when paying for things and 17% are using mobile wallets more often.

Payments are not just becoming frictionless and embedded, they are becoming invisible.

In a post last week, Mastercard or Masterchip, Chris Skinner suggested that the company no longer has the right name, and eventually our wallets will be on a chip inside our cars, homes, watches, and other wearables. I couldn’t agree more with him.

IoT devices will make it possible for smart appliances and wearables to complete purchases. As technology becomes more sophisticated, and we continue to bring smart devices into our homes and lives, these invisible payments will become mainstream, while physical payment methods become relics of the past.

We are already seeing luxury watch companies working on ways to build smartwatch capabilities. After years of research, Rolex discovered a way to embed smart payment technology inside the sapphire crystal. Last year, Swatch introduced SwatchPay, a way to make contactless payments using your watch. SwatchPay uses a passive NFC chip embedded in the watch head to make contactless payments. It’s like a tiny virtual payment card inside of the watch.

Amazon has been at the forefront of the invisible payments space and has implemented invisible payment technology at its Amazon Go stores.

At these stores, there is no checkout required. Customers simply use an app on their smartphone to check in when entering the store. From that point on, technology (using a combination of sensors, cameras, machine learning, and more) detects when a customer picks up an item from the shelf and keeps track of those items. To purchase the item all the customer has to do is walk right out the door with it.

Amazon is also playing with biometrics in some of its Amazon Go stores. Amazon One allows customers to use the palm of their hand rather than an app to sign into the store.

As we step into a world without cash, invisible payments will be the next big step in the evolution of payments. Invisible payments will take out of the equation the physical element of payments — cash, debit and credit cards, and wearables — to give us a simple payment experience that is effortless, hassle-free, and will not require a payment device.

Are Banks ready to absorb loan losses from Inflation

An interesting question? Matthew Lynn looks at the inflationary impact on small businesses borrowers, highly leveraged private equity players as well as the mortgage market. As he rightly points out all of these sectors will be affected and there risk profiles will rise. Of course the UK and other markets have sophisticated stress testing mechanisms in place but Lynn doubts whether double digit inflation levels were brought in to the equation as nobody thought that inflation could rise by that much. He also does not have a great deal of faith in the present governor of the Bank of England having the foresight to deal with what is on the way. I don’t blame him. However we are probably not in the same mess as other European economies whose banking systems have been kept alive for years by the ECB. What Mrs. Lagarde will do now is anyone’s guess but with the German economy in the mire international creditors might start to sniff that all is not well.  

Regulators issue warning to Buy Now, Pay later companies over online ads

This is a warning to a number of companies including fallen industry idol Klarna over misleading language in on line advertising. In addition it took aim at on line “influencers” over posts that might lead some vulnerable people to take on more than they could handle without pointing out the ongoing risks in taking on too much debt. We are not that great all over place in educating our “must have it now” millennials. We don’t do a great job with our bankers either. Nevertheless influencers are frequently the replacement for the Flash Harries of the 1960s and 70s. There are a lot of them out there:  most of them in Mayfair chasing what is left of the Private Equity business. Consider this a warning. Things could get very nasty indeed.  

Has the day of reckoning finally arrived for the Zombies

 Zombies is the term associated with companies that have essentially just about survived the past ten years or so on the back of ultra low interest rates. The recent rises in rates in the UK and elsewhere in Europe where the situation is possibly even worse have seen an increase in restructuring activity over the past couple of quarters. The trouble is that there are a lot of them, unable to pay down their loans or to make productive investments. They are the living dead. Not only that but they are a drag on the economies of all major advanced economies. Continuing with companies, and the list is growing  longer, that clearly have a limited shelf life and no future prospects distorts the proper allocation of resources and diminishes productivity. The trick is for rate setters is to find a Goldilocks solution. Raise rates too quickly and you tip the baby out with the bathwater. Hopefully the lenders are keeping the authorities informed about the true state of the credit markets but I wouldn’t hold your breath. My faith in our and the Eurozone’s clueless bureaucrats has already waned away. Hope is not a strategy.
