"Amazon is once again making people rethink the fundamentals of retail. Payment is a crucial part of the process which has for a long-time revolved around card providers and the fees they charge. Even the arrival of mobile payments like Apple Pay and Google Pay did not disrupt card processing in the same way that today’s news will do. With Amazon questioning Visa’s fees, you can be sure that other retailers are now looking at them too."

"Amazon is firing the starting gun on a race for new payment methods"
Evening Standard

"As a payments industry, it is our responsibility to call on the Bank of England to review its approach to instant payments. We must band together, and we must be vocal. As the fintech capital of the world, it’s perplexing that we haven’t woken-up to the use of instant payments to help businesses in their hour of need. It’s not an exaggeration to say our economy depends on it and that it can give British businesses the boost they so desperately need."
