Governor Bailey is wrong: We should embrace the digital pound
Is the digital pound dead in the water? More than 100 countries are looking at the creation of their very own digital currencies. China already has one. The EU is developing a digital euro at pace. But the Bank of England? It seems to be tacking the opposite way to the rest of the world. Andrew Bailey told MPs on the Treasury Committee that he would need 'a lot of convincing' to greenlight a launch, which the Bank has already said couldn't happen until sometime in the 'second half of the current decade' anyway. Is this an opportunity missed? Even a case where the governor's conservatism threatens to leave Britons in the digital dark ages? First off, I should explain what the digital pound actually is. Digi-pounds (that's not the official name; I'm not sure we have one yet) would be currency issued by the Bank that could be stored in a digital wallet provided by a company like, say, Apple. This would allow you to pay for things directly, without the need for the card you currently have to have set up to use Apple Pay. People could also pay you by the same means. PS, Apple CEO Tim Cook isn't paying either me or The Independent for the mention. I'm using Apple Pay as an example because it's a service I use. Bailey is distinctly unimpressed with the idea of this new form of money. His preferred option is to help the market improve digital payment tech, which he said could deliver 'huge benefits'. Fraud reduction, lower costs, faster payments to SMEs, which at this point are probably saying chance would be a fine thing. "That's a sensible place to do it because that's where most of our money is," the governor opined. But here's an idea: why not simply do both? Is that really so hard? Or is the Bank yet again in 'can't do' mode? It is true that there are legitimate concerns about digital currencies. Sceptics worry about vulnerability to hacking. Fears have also been expressed about their making it easier to launder money, even to facilitate terrorist financing. Criminals took up Bitcoin with alacrity. Lately, they have favoured so-called ' stablecoins ', the value of which are linked to an underlying commodity or an existing currency such as the dollar. On the flip side, some critics have voiced fears about digital currencies being used to facilitate government snooping. This has been a big concern with the Chinese version given the obsessive interest in what its citizens do, say and even think of that country's government. But every new technology comes with pluses and minuses. It would be better for Bailey to accept that and roll with the punches. Bitcoin and its ilk already have a legion of fans in this country. If people like the concept of central bank issued digital currencies, there would theoretically be nothing to stop them from using digital euros if and when they arrive. There are already outlets in London that accept the paper equivalent (and dollars and yen while we're at it). Here's a potential selling point for your business: 'We accept the digital euros!' Right now, the central bank looks flat-footed, a very obvious laggard, largely thanks to the conservatism of the governor. I suspect some of Bailey's caution can be tracked back to his time at the head of the Financial Conduct Authority, a fairly thankless, if well remunerated, task at the best of times. Its CEO tends to get the blame for everything and the credit for nothing. Launching a new form of money is bound to create challenges and it will once again be Bailey's head on the block if something goes wrong. There have lately have been suggestions that the Bank could cease or at least shelve the work it has been doing on a digital pound. That would be a mistake. Digital currencies are coming. The Bank should accept that and prepare for the future. The governor badly needs to pull his legs out of the mud in which they're stuck.

Newport Now gift card now available in digital format
The Newport Now gift card, designed to encourage spending in Newport city centre, is now available in a digital format, allowing shoppers to pay using their phones at participating businesses. Kevin Ward, manager of Newport Now BID, said: "This new digital offer is a great addition to our popular gift card scheme. "We know some businesses, particularly smaller ones, prefer contactless payments and today's launch means this will suit their needs and we think more local shops, bars, cafes and restaurants will sign up to accept the card as a result. "Buying and sending a digital Newport Now gift card couldn't be simpler and we hope to see more people backing city centre traders, the majority of whom are small independents." Launched in 2017 by the Newport Now Business Improvement District, the scheme has seen more than 1,500 cards sold, generating at least £40,000 of spending in the city centre. The digital card can be sent instantly via email or text and added to digital wallets like Apple Pay or Google Pay using the free Love Local app. Recipients can then use their phone to 'tap to pay' at participating businesses. The cards can be spent at more than 40 city centre outlets, including both national chains and independent shops. Businesses and organisations can also send digital cards to staff, customers, or clients. The physical card remains available for those who prefer a traditional option. The scheme is run in partnership with technology firm Miconex. Colin Munro, CEO of Miconex, said: "Digital gift cards overtook physical gift cards in popularity for the first time in 2024. "People want the ability to instantly send a gift card to friends, family and staff members that they can add to digital wallets – and that's what they can do with the new digital Newport Now gift card. "The digital version of the card means supporting local in Newport is easier than ever, particularly as a way for organisations to easily reward their staff, and provide a tangible boost to the Newport economy at the same time." Both the digital and physical versions of the Newport Now gift card can be bought at:

Lloyds Bank in talks to acquire Curve
The UK's largest high street bank is reportedly in talks to buy digital wallet provider Curve. 1 This content has been selected, created and edited by the Finextra editorial team based upon its relevance and interest to our community. According to Sky News, Lloyds Banking Group is in advanced discussions with Curve over a deal in the region of £120m. A deal could be concluded as early as September, according to sources cited by Sky. Should the deal go through, it would bolster Lloyds' digital banking credentials. And the reported fee of £120m is lower than the £133m valuation given after Curve's series C funding round in 2023. Curve has been positioned as a rival to Apple Pay and the talk of an acquisition comes at a time when Apple is under pressure from EU regulators to make its payment services accessible to third parties. The fintech has raised more than £200m in equity since it was founded, including around £40m raised last year. However, it also reduced employee numbers and suspended its US expansion plans. For Lloyds, the attraction of Curve is that it allows the bank to create a smartphone-based wallet that can bypass Apple Pay fees. Lloyds already has stakes in some fintechs, including banking-as-a-service platform ThoughtMachine, and has reportedly made the expansion of its tech capabilities a strategic objective.
