WITHDRAWING MONEY VIA THE SMARTPHONEThe Royal Bank of Scotland and the National Westminster Bank are now allowing customers in the UK to withdraw money via their smartphones. People first have to download the smartphone app and then enter the desired amount of cash they need up to a maximum of £100. The app then provides a six-digit code that has to be used within three hours at any NatWest, RBS or Tesco cash machines. This allows customers to leave their wallets at home and just take their phones with them when they go shopping.

APP TURNS CREDIT CARD INTO CUSTOMER CARDCardify links users' credit cards with its smartphone app, which books the points collected when making a payment that can be exchanged for set bonuses. This makes physical loyalty cards superfluous and allows business operators to decide, based on demographic and financial criteria, which customers are rewarded with which status and discounts. What's more, users are automatically checked in to a shop on their Facebook accounts. This is shown to staff, which enables them to greet customers personally.

GETTING IN-GAME CREDITS WITH AMERICAN EXPRESSZynga Games and American Express recently teamed up to develop a prepaid debit card that enables users to redeem virtual credits in games. When playing FarmVille, for example, customers can benefit from the cards to get virtual credits that they can use in the games. Every purchase over $25 will help players to earn more money on their virtual FarmVille account. Zynga is planning similar reward systems for the players of CityVille and CastleVille. For American Express, this partnership works as a great way to increase the use of their digital payment platform, Serve.

HANDPRINT REPLACES BANK CARDThe Japanese bank Ogaki Kyoritsu is introducing a cash machine that lets users use biometric data instead of cards to withdraw cash. First, they have to register their biometric data with their bank and be issued a PIN. Cash withdrawals are then made by placing a hand on a scanner and entering their date of birth and PIN. The biometric cash machines will also continue to accept bank cards. The idea behind the machines is to allow customers to make cash withdrawals without a card in the event of natural disasters.

BUYING SHARES ON FACEBOOKThe Californian start-up LOYAL3 is making it possible to trade shares on Facebook. With no fees and no middlemen, participating companies will be able to offer shares on their Facebook pages. Users will be able to trade shares from 10 to 2,500 USD each month. LOYAL3 wants to make it possible for everyone to be able to invest money. According to CEO Barry Schneider, currently only 18 percent of US citizens do so. Just three clicks are needed to complete a transaction: users select the company, enter the amount and then pay by credit card.

PROJECT FUNDING THROUGH SHOPPINGThanks to the crowdfunding platform "Gynny", project initiators can now raise funding simply through their supporters buying something at one of over 700 partner shops. A percentage of the money is then given to the project. Even though this results in less money per supporter than through conventional funding, it allows charitable projects, which cannot offer shares or something similar in return, to also raise financing.

The "GeoCard" replaces all the other cards and transforms into any desired card with the tap of a button on the included app. An e-ink screen displays scannable barcodes of the loyalty and membership cards. The data is accessible via a biometric fingerprint registration on the "Geode".

From B2C to P2PHOW USAGE IS REPLACING OWNERSHIP

More and more people are making their possessions available to others for a small fee.

One person lends another his car when he doesn’t need it, someone else rents out free space to tourists, and a third person shares his Wi-Fi network for a small charge. Intermediaries are no longer required.

All these examples are part of a major trend that we call the P2P Economy.
