Congrats to the team at centrapay and BNZ for 'partnering' here to bring innovation and greater value for customers and merchants. This is (IMHO) a really practical and easily understood example of Fintech innovation that straddles core themes that we think are central to FinTech; Innovation, Customer Value, Partnering, Investment in highly scaleable, exportable technology and the value of special people providing sector leadership. This latter point about people is a great opportunity for NZ- we are a small intimate country and this is one of our 'secret sauces'. With so much talk on capping surcharging fees, this is a really timely release. Perhaps this approach moves us away from all the talk about capping surcharging fees to just letting the market decide. Perhaps the opportunity of the merchants/retailers to simply absorb the transaction fees into their business model is the true promise we all seek and brings back the innovative lead that EFT POS gave NZ 30 years ago. Getting rid of those nasty add-on fees at the terminal will help build consumer trust and take a load off everyone. Either way, noting the functionality of PayAP I might get to 'count' how many flat whites I consume ( eg lots) at my local Wander cafe Well done all ! Greg Beehre, Jerome Faury, Tim Wixon, CFA

What a great panel discussion on the importance of cyber security compliance for startups. Too many focus on building their product and taking it to market only to head butt against a roadblock to an enterprise or government sale; the customers requirement for security compliance accreditation. Vanta can help with this. And it is so much more cost-effective to build in security compliance from the outset. Jelix portfolio company, SafeStack can help upskill your developers and software architects to build in security from the beginning.

As we continue to think about how we can further digital payments in the country, the BSP is currently looking at a number of ways to increase adoption and remove potential barriers to entry. One way is to continue to continue to drive down costs to the end users. First, by removing the costs for micro-payments, which is defined as php500 and below, covering both consumers and merchants. In fact, the BSP is taking it a step further by removing fees for person-to-person transactions for as much as 10 transactions a week. This would encourage individual users to open accounts outside of a closed loop, since the cost to transact will not be an issue. Hence, people will stop asking “may GCASH ka ba?” each time they need to pay someone. Second, the BSP is proposing to create strategic payment use cases, which again has to be subsidized by Payment Service Provider to ensure no cost to the user. One example is the use of digital payment for transportation. Now whether QR PH is the right solution for this, or perhaps an NFC-supported fare collection system (like Octopus in HK), is still debateable. Third, is the pursuit of initiatives to further reduce cheques by introducing a solution for recurring low value payments. Direct Debits for payments to property developers and utilities is currently being explored by the payments community, as a replacement for warehoused cheques and closed loop auto-debit arrangements. While all of the above will help, there may be other ways we can further digital payments in the country by looking at key industries and identify any nuances that need to be addressed in digitizing payments within each ecosystem. I believe it is worthwhile to look at each industry and arrive at some strategic recommendations. Interested to look at the following - IT-BPM, Shipping and Logistics, Pharmaceutical and Healthcare, FMCG, Consumer Brands/Retail/Services, and of course the “New Economy” to determine any specific asks for to eliminate cash and cheques, and reduce costs of payments and collections. The question to ask here is - how can digital payments help grow and sustain the key industries of the Philippine economy? #digitalpayments #keyindustries

After many months of introspection and effort, we’re proud to release our new digital presence. More than ever, this captures our commitment to quality development and expert advice for all things related to mobile apps. It has also been an opportunity for us to better surface our values and how we approach working with you, our clients, every day. In everything we do we are user-centric, inquisitive, prepared and, most importantly, adaptable. As 2024 comes to a close, we’re taking time to reflect on where we’ve come from — a small team with a vision, that mobile apps would dominate the eyeballs and attention of the public. This is now obvious in hindsight, but in 2010 it wasn’t a sure bet. Looking to the future, in a world with tools that can assist development like never before, we are continuing to bolster what we do best — thinking about the why and how as much as the when. It’s not enough to build the thing… We believe, through our over 14 years experience, that building the right thing is what matters most. https://lnkd.in/g4FW9icA
