On this week’s episode of News & Views, The Fintech Times podcast team discuss all things physical payments and banking, delving into a new report and Revolut‘s latest announcement.
Polly and Tom sit down for the first time following Money20/20 Europe for an episode focused on physical, in a fintech world where the focus is increasingly digital.
Tom kicks off by sharing some stats from the latest Zilch report, which revealed that 66 per cent of shoppers continue to carry a physical card in spite of the seemingly ever-increasing popularity and adoption of digital wallets. The team debates whether we could see a return to more physical-based payments, particularly in the midst of several high-profile cyberattacks and outages in the UK in the last year.
Continuing the physical theme, Polly breaks down the news that Revolut plans to roll out its own branded ATM machines across Spain. Is the move a marketing masterclass or misstep? We also explore in the latest episode.
