The Finanser discusses all things fintech, finance, banking, technology and, most importantly, the future. Chris Skinner has been voted the most influential technologist in Britain and received a lifetime achievement award for his visionary approach to the future of money from the Payments Association. He has advised the… Read More ## LATEST POSTS Oct 23, 2025## UK Gov needs to bring back the Fintech mojo Giving away one of my trade secrets, I asked ChatGPT to give me suggestions about what to blog about and it came up with seven things: 🚀 1. The Rise of Embedded Finance 2.0 How non-financial platforms are evolving from offering simple payments to full financial ecosystems (e.g., credit, insurance, and investments built into SaaS,… Read More Oct 22, 2025## What have you done today to make you feel proud? I walked away from the Global Islamic Finance Forum (GIFF) with two quotes that I can’t get out of my head. The first: “a rising tide lifts all boats” from John F. Kennedy, 1963. The second: it is “better to live one day as a tiger than a thousand years as a sheep” by Tipu… Read More Oct 21, 2025## AII: Artificially Intelligent Islam I was going to write up my panel discussion during the GIFF (Global Islamic Finance Forum) but Zawya did the job for me. Having said that, their website is quite difficult to access due to location restrictions and so I’m just going to cut and paste their summary here. Hope you like it! Revolutionising Islamic… Read More Oct 20, 2025## Islamic finance is all about justice and equality I was honoured to be invited to Kuala Lumpur to join the Global Islamic Finance Forum last week. Why? Because they had the Royal Sultan speak over dinner and the Prime Minister of Malaysia give a keynote speech? Yes but, more than this, I learned a lot. In particular, during my panel session, someone asked… Read More ## The Finanser’s Week: 13th October – 19th October 2025 October 19, 2025 ## Trainers, explainers and sustainers – mortgages by machines, part two October 17, 2025 ## OK boomer!

You have to remember that machines don’t think, they only appear to think because we develop them that way. Sure, there may be sentient machines at some point in the future when we get to the great Singularity but, until… Read More October 17, 2025 ### Is an Islamic loan a loan or a borrowing? I’m about to have a week in Kuala Lumpur, if anyone wants to meet-up, with a focus on Islamic Finance. I remember twenty years ago talking with Mike Hanlon who was founding the Islamic Bank of Britain (IBB), and he was telling me how UK Gov really did not understand the concept. What is the… Read More October 9, 2025 ### The UK government’s digital identity scheme arrives, dead on arrival It was interesting that the Labour Party Annual Conference in Liverpool last week did not talk about digital identity schemes. This is the party in government who, days before the conference started, announced that all people who wanted to work in Britain would need a digital ID in their government app. Like the National Insurance… Read More October 6, 2025 ### Key take-away from #SIBOS 2025: it’s no longer banking and payments Watching Sibos from afar – I haven’t been invited for a while due to being too provocative – I was not surprised to see that Quantum computing, AI, CBDCs, stablecoins, tokenization and blockchain are all making the headlines, as these are all the themes I spend my time presenting about around the world. Cybersecurity, AI… Read More October 3, 2025 ### How much is Harry Kane’s toe worth? I’ve just created a platform to tokenize idols. Any idol and even bits and pieces related to them. You can tokenize Taylor Swift’s underwear; tokenize Rory McIlroy’s golfing glove; tokenize Ryan Reynolds Wrexham shirt; or even tokenize Harry Kane’s big toe. After all, any part of an idol is worth something to a fan, so… Read More October 1, 2025 ### Is your bot more competitive than my bot? I was having a chat the other day. It was behind closed doors, under Chatham House Rule but, nevertheless, will share my thoughts here as the big question was: who are you marketing to? Several major football teams have bank brands all over them. Many websites are associated with financial brands. On television, there are… Read More September 29, 2025 ### If digital is at the core, when do you need to be physical? Building on the last two blogs all companies, not just in finance, have been transformed through the connected, network economy. That was the last decade’s worth of digital transformation and has led analogue companies hoping that they are now digital natives, although many are digital immigrants, still with a log of their old analogue systems… Read More September 19, 2025 ### Becoming intelligent: the next wave of disruption I was thinking more about this third revolution of financial technologies. The first was very much focused upon automation administration using mainframe computing; the second moved from pure cost reduction to the changing dynamics of how to leverage productivity and cost using the network effects of connectivity, and driven by cloud and mobile; the third… Read More September 18, 2025 ## Digital Bank View More ### Trainers, explainers and sustainers – mortgages by machines, part two After my blog yesterday about mortgage by machines, I left out one key component: humans.

Sure, there may be sentient machines at some point in the future when we get to the great Singularity but, until… Read More October 17, 2025 ### OK boomer! Mortgage by machines When I was a lad, to get a mortgage was a complex process. You would go to the bank for a meeting with the branch manager. The branch manager would assess you, your job security, work status and salary and, if all boxes were ticked, you could get a mortgage up to four times your… Read More October 16, 2025 ### Status quo is better than perturbatio I have blogged often about change and how people avoid it (who moved my cheese?), but it cropped up again the other day when I was reading Harvard’s Rosabeth Moss Kanter\* thoughts on business. She has six key principles for business: Show up. Speak up. Look up. Team up. Never give up. Lift others up. Many… Read More October 15, 2025 ### Stop doing digital and become intelligent My presentations these days are focused upon the challenge of change. Every day, something is in the headlines to challenge your thinking from AI to quantum to digital currencies to digital identities. The only constant is change. Whenever I talk, I come back to the wrongly attributed quotation of Charles Darwin that it does not… Read More October 14, 2025 ### AI is not Robbie the Robot, says expert I was really interested that Barclays Private Bank published an interview about AI the other day. Why? Because it’s the private bank and it’s from a bank. The interview is with Professor Michael Wooldridge, one of Oxford University’s leading AI academics with more than 450 research papers to his name. He knows his stuff. What… Read More October 13, 2025 ### Is an Islamic loan a loan or a borrowing? I’m about to have a week in Kuala Lumpur, if anyone wants to meet-up, with a focus on Islamic Finance.

What is the… Read More October 9, 2025 ### The digital transformation disillusionment My friend Paolo Sironi of the IBM Institute of Business Value has been touting his latest research: the 94% core banking problem. What’s it all that about? Well, it’s about how digital transformation or, as IBM calls it modernization, hasn’t delivered. In research conducted with a global survey of over 500 CIO’s and almost 200… Read More October 8, 2025 ### The UK government’s digital identity scheme arrives, dead on arrival It was interesting that the Labour Party Annual Conference in Liverpool last week did not talk about digital identity schemes.

Cybersecurity, AI… Read More October 3, 2025 ## Crypto View More ### Is crypto the solution or the problem? Paying with crypto is traceable but favoured by fraudsters. Is it the solution or the problem? Fraudsters never know how their action impacts their victim, until confronted by the person they’ve defrauded. Is crypto the solution? After all, unlike fiat currencies, all blockchain-based transactions can be traced for history. So, is crypto the solution to… Read More October 10, 2025 ### Key take-away from #SIBOS 2025: it’s no longer banking and payments Watching Sibos from afar – I haven’t been invited for a while due to being too provocative – I was not surprised to see that Quantum computing, AI, CBDCs, stablecoins, tokenization and blockchain are all making the headlines, as these are all the themes I spend my time presenting about around the world.

Well, that’s my take anyway. Add on to this that the Trump family made billions by launching World Liberty Financial, their very… Read More September 15, 2025 ### Is #Tether a #SWIFT challenger? As blogged yesterday, the GENIUS Act can open the doors for closed-loop networks using stablecoins that circumvent the traditional four-pillar model of issuer, acquirer, merchant and processor. Yes, it could save billions in interchange fees, but there’s another movement in stablecoins trying to change the world. This one is trying to get rid of SWIFT,… Read More September 5, 2025 ### Is the GENIUS Act genius? Short answer: possibly. Long answer: the GENIUS Act (the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act) gives a massive stamp on cryptocurrency tokens, stablecoins and protecting the US dollar as the reserve currency of the world. Oh, and it also creates a major opportunity for non-banks to become players in payment processing. For… Read More September 4, 2025 ### When you realise that finance is science In recent days, I’ve discovered a lot of theorems and ideas in digital areas where, when you integrate finance and technology, you realise that you are living in a world of rocket science thinking. For example, I am spending a lot of time talking with experts about digital identity and trust, as that’s the theme… Read More July 21, 2025 ### Are stablecoins really stable? An awful lot of what I read these days is about stablecoins. By way of example, my things worth reading daily update is filled with news about them. Just this morning: Some big US banks plan to launch stablecoins, expecting crypto-friendly regulations Central banks face dilemma over rise of dollar-backed stablecoins Could Britain be about… Read More July 17, 2025 ### Where is fintech going? I went to a conference the other day where the organiser left a load of beer mats with questions about fintech. I picked them up and decided to write my thoughts. Trust you enjoy this … What was your ‘aha’ moment that led you into fintech? I never really had a moment, as I’ve been… Read More July 15, 2025 ## Future View More ### AII: Artificially Intelligent Islam I was going to write up my panel discussion during the GIFF (Global Islamic Finance Forum) but Zawya did the job for me.

I’m in the latter group, but constantly watch Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman (the PayPal Mafia), Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Bill Gates and more for their thoughts and actions. Also Warren Buffet, Charlie Munger and others.
