PoF 14 – A Ground Level View on Tablet POS
Tablet-based ePOS cash registers are growing in popularity and capability. A boon to smaller retailers who have been laggards in store automation. But without technical support staff on hand, solving issues when they arrive, never mind securing systems, is an expensive proposition. Join Glenbrook’s George Peabody and payments industry veteran Chip Kahn, founder of Boomtown, a marketplace for merchant tech support pros, for a discussion on tablet POS trends, what SMB retailers needs, and the payments programmability.
PoF 13 – Lexis Nexis Risk Solutions on Mobile Fraud
Aaron Press of Lexis Nexis Risk Solutions joins Glenbrook's George Peabody for a discussion on mobile fraud trends based on the firm's True Cost of Fraud mCommerce report. While the mobile channel presents fraud and risk professionals with a wide variety of tools to mitigate losses, the report concludes that the mobile channel represents a disproportionately large loss vector. In this Payments on Fire podcast, we talk about why and what needs to happen to fix the problem.

PoF 10 – On Faster Payments in the US
In this interview with Glenbrook's founding partner Carol Coye Benson, we discuss the prospects for a faster payments system in the US.

PoF 9 – Realtime Authorization and Messaging
Realtime, consumer-facing authorization of card payment transactions has been available for some time but few of us have it offered to us by our issuers.
