For years, opinion writers have attached labels to Big Tech like the Frightful Five or FAANG, making Big Tech synonymous with Bad Tech among some politicians, regulators and the media. This group demonization has one big flaw — targeting these businesses not for necessarily doing something bad but for being part of that group. And that is bad for just about everyone. …see more

What would happen to the local economies and culture in every city and town all over the U.S. if one in every four Main Street business shut its doors and one in every three were teetering? That’s what new PYMNTS research reports after talking to hundreds of SMB owners who operate those businesses now say in the three weeks since COVID-19 came to town — two-thirds of whom were planning on 2020 sales to blow past those booked in 2019. Worse yet, 75% report having only enough access to cash to last the next 25-days. Here’s a sobering look at what these Main Street SMBs are facing and how they are coping.

We have used clocks to measure time for hundreds of years, and mobile devices and apps over the last decade to save as much of it as we can. Yet in this decade’s Connected Economy, consumers will want devices and apps that do more than save time, but also compress as much of it into every one of the 1,440 minutes in their 24-hour day. It’s why that time will be central to the connected economy innovations that will emerge over the next decade and beyond. Here’s proof. …see more

PayPal , COO Bill Ready tells me holds and reserves are a concept that PayPal wants to make a part of the merchant services history book.

Nearly 80% of U.S. workers live paycheck to paycheck, which means that saving money for the future gives way to surviving the here and now. Fresh off a $40M funding round, and six months into its partnership with Walmart, Even CEO Jon Schlossberg told me that it provides 15% of the U.S. workforce with the option to tap into their paychecks sooner than the typical pay period allows. This has reaped some important employee and employer benefits — at the same time, it redefines what it means to live paycheck to paycheck. …see more

In the Asia-Pacific region, cash is facing challenges on multiple fronts — from demonetization to rising eCommerce and a surge in mobile payments. But despite new competition, cash continues to thrive in this market, with roughly $8.5 trillion expected to be in use by 2021. So what’s powering cash’s growth? In the latest Global Cash Index, PYMNTS analyzed 350 data points to explore how cash is transforming eCommerce, and why many consumers in emerging economic powerhouses like China and India still choose cash over cards and even mobile payments. …see more

The Equifax  breach has created a groundswell of voices, including congressional ones, demanding change in how credit reporting agencies are regulated. I think that regulation isn’t the cure for what ails the three players who control how credit information is accessed and used. Instead, it’s important for policymakers to focus on the real issue — and listening to consumers who’ve been telling the CFPB for years that there’s something really rotten in the land of credit reporting. …see more
