Why Is My Credit Card Processor Holding My Money?
As a 20-year veteran of the credit card processing industry, I’ve heard my fair share of complaints surrounding how the industry works. One of the most common complaints I’ve heard relates to fees. I’ve told my sales team this a million times: we charge...

The Equifax Breach is Very Bad. Try to Mitigate the Fallout Now
Compromising the names, birthdates and Social Security numbers of 143 million Americans is pretty bad. In fact, it’s hard to imagine how a data breach could be worse unless you were to simply increase that number.
But our lack of imagination doesn’t mean the breach isn’t, FAR worse than it sounds. When you start to look at the potential consequences of such a breach, it actually becomes difficult to really stress just how bad the breach could be.
Equifax, for its part, isn’t helping.

Duct Taping Walmart onto Google Products Won’t Stop Amazon
It’s an obvious move to counter the popularity of Amazon Echo, the home of Alexa, Amazon’s good but not quite “intelligent” voice assistant, and acquire some of that sweet sweet voice ordering market share. It is also an example of the woefully unprepared, short-sighted vision of the top folks at Wal-Mart.
How EMV Chipped Cards Can Be Compromised
It’s possible for criminals to use your EMV chip while your card is safely in your wallet according to cyber security firm Trustwave.
The Elk & The Future According to Amazon
Amazon Go is a utopian, and possibly unrealistic vision of what they plan to do. Amazon Go, as Amazon describes it, “… is a new kind of store with no checkout required. We created the world’s most advanced shopping technology so you never have to wait in line. With our Just Walk Out Shopping experience, simply use the Amazon Go app to enter the store, take the products you want, and go! No lines, no checkout.” Amazon had planned to open Amazon Go to the public in early 2017, but technical set backs have delayed public availability.
Should I Pay With My Debit Or Credit Card?
It’s true, paying with a debit card is a more fiscally sound and responsible thing to do. For example, with a debit card, you’re less likely to find yourself in debt, as it requires you to spend within your financial means. However, paying with a credit card offers opportunities for interest-free financing (assuming you pay your bill at month’s end), and keeping up on your payments helps you build, or rebuild, your credit.
Market Cascade in the Greater Retail Ecosystem
In 2015, Amazon’s market capitalization overtook Walmart and, without any meaningful physical retail presence, Amazon directly competes with virtually every major retailer in the United States. If the Walmarts and Home Depots of the 90s were retail predators, Amazon had grown into an Apex-predator.
Amazon May Be Goliath, but You Can Be David
…or at least David-like. You know what? You’re not David, so put away that slingshot. We’re thinking about this the wrong way.
