  • Financial Technology Sector Overview of Market Activity in the Financial Technology Sector William Blair & Company
    Quarterly Update Q1 2015 Financial Technology Sector Overview of Market Activity in the Financial Technology Sector William Blair & Company Financial Technology Sector – First Quarter 2015 Update M&A and capital markets activity remained strong during the first quarter of 2015, particularly in the United States. In fact, U.S. stock indices marked all-time highs during the quarter and deal-making activity continued its upward trajectory, propelled by improving confidence among consumers and corporate executives, low-cost credit, and record levels of cash. While market participants largely ignored the prospect of rising interest rates, a collapsing energy sector, global currency concerns, and continued economic uncertainty abroad, this could be an area of concern moving into the second quarter of 2015. One of the most prominent storylines within the financial technology sector in the first quarter was the escalating bets made on payments solutions by the likes of tech giants Apple, Google, and Samsung. The release of Apple Pay unilaterally raised the stakes across the industry and was a catalyst for a wave of high-profile announcements, including Samsung’s acquisition of LoopPay, Google’s acquisition of Softcard, and PayPal’s acquisition of Paydiant. Traditional payments providers are thus being further pressured to accelerate innovation and expand international reach, which has in turn refocused corporate strategies away from building domestic scale and vertical plays toward acquiring differentiated, earlier-stage, technology platforms with global capabilities. Global’s acquisition of Realex, Worldpay’s acquisition of SecureNet, and MasterCard’s acquisition of TNS’s gateway are recent examples of this trend, which we believe will be a significant driver of sector M&A activity going forward.

  • The Use of E-Payment Products and Their Impact on Currency-In-Circulation in Nigeria
    International Journal of Innovation and Economic Development Volume 6 ISSN 1849-7020 (Print) Issue 1 ISSN 1849-7551 (Online) April, 2020 Pages 31-46 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.18775/ijied.1849-7551-7020.2015.61.2003 DOI: 10.18775/ijied.1849-7551-7020.2015.61.2003 The Use of E-payment Products and their Impact on Currency-in-Circulation in Nigeria 1Kanu Success Ikechi, 2Eke Karen Chinonso, 3Nwadiubu, Anthony, 4Ikechukwu Robert Eze 1,3 Faculty of Social and Management Sciences, Eastern Palm University, Ogboko Ideato, P.M.B 6, Orlu Imo State. Nigeria. 2,4 Department of Management Technology, School of Management Technology, Federal University of Technology, PMB 1526, Owerri, Imo state. Nigeria Abstract: This study is set to ascertain the relationship between the use of e-payment products and the value of currency in circulation in Nigeria. An ex-post facto research design was adopted in the investigation. A least square regression analysis was carried out on a time- series data. The objective was to ascertain relationships between the variables, whether positive or negative and to determine its significance. The outcome of the study indicates that only REMITA and WEBPAY have an inverse but significant negative relationship with currency in circulation in Nigeria. At the same time, the use of ATM and POS maintained a positive and significant relationship. This isn't surprising considering ATM and POS machines are verified sources of cash withdrawals in Nigeria. Presently, due to the relatively low use of e-payment products, their influence on monetary policy has been insignificant. The Central bank of Nigeria has not recorded a decrease in currency in circulation followed by an increase in the use of e- payment products; instead, it is recorded that between 2009 and 2018, the value of currency in circulation grew by about 97.18%.
