PayPal Now Fully Integrates With Google Accounts

PayPal Now Fully Integrates With Google Accounts
Add PayPal to one Google service and the entire Google ecosystem can use it to pay for stuff.
Some would argue making payments even more seamless online is a bad thing because it's just so easy to buy all the things. But having to login to a payment service every time you click the purchase button is a hassle, so PayPal is making it easier for anyone who has a Google account.
PayPal already enjoys a relationship with Google, allowing users to pay using their PayPal account through Google Pay in stores, in apps, and online. But that partnership is now being extended to cover the entire Google ecosystem for anyone in the US.

NEFCU launches Google Home banking app with Conversation.one

NEFCU launches Google Home banking app with Conversation.one

Nassau Educators Federal Credit Union (NEFCU), a 200,000-member institution in Long Island, US, has launched its Google Home Action and Google Assistant app.
The solution is based on the Conversation.one platform. It enables NEFCU’s customers “to check their share and loan balances, review recent transactions, locate branches and ATMs, connect to their contact centre, or get the most up-to-date loan rates by simply talking to their Google Home devices or their Google Assistant,” the tech provider says.
“By leveraging the Conversation.one platform, we become one of the first financial institutions in the US to launch online banking Alexa skills and Google Home Actions, making us an industry leader in this technology,” states Jojo Seva, CIO at NEFCU.
Last year, another US credit union, Baxter CU, signed for Symitar’s Financial Innovations Voice Experience (FIVE) – a solution that explores the possibilities that voice-based personal assistants such as Amazon’s Echo and Microsoft’s Cortana can bring to banking.
Conversation.one was founded in 2017 and is based in California. Its flagship product is “a build-once-deploy-everywhere platform for developing conversational apps”. It is a “no-coding, no-programming, intuitive, visual and user-friendly” platform that uses machine learning.

Gmail now lets you receive 50MB attachments

Gmail now lets you receive 50MB attachments

If you need to send a file from point A to point B, it’s email – not DropBox or Google Drive – that you tend to use. But this isn’t great for large files. As Senator Ted Stevens once pointed out, the Internet is a series of tubes, and most providers have rules to stop you from them clogging up.

But today, Google announced it doubled the size of attachments you can receive through Gmail, with the maximum size raised from 25MB to 50MB. Annoyingly, the maximum size for an outbound attachment is still 25MB.

Google’s still very much wedded to the idea of people using Google Drive for large files, but it recognizes that many workplaces and individuals are yet to make the switch to Gmail and Gsuite. This move simply makes it easier for Gmail users to receive large attachments – like high-resolution photos, presentations, and photoshop files – from those holdouts.

According to Google’s announcement, this update will propagate to all end-users over the next three days, so keep an eye out for it.

And as pointed out by the folks at Android Police, Gmail storage is limited, so be careful. It won’t take that many 50MB attachments to clog up your inbox.

Would you bank with Facebook or Google?

Would you bank with Facebook or Google?

The world of banking is set for rapid change, with new research revealing just how keen consumers are to use new technology like wearables and cryptocurrencies for payments - and some folks would be prepared to do their online banking with the likes of Facebook or Google.

A study from Fujitsu (taking in the opinions of 7,000 European consumers) highlighted the generally progressive attitude of banking and insurance customers. While 44% of respondents said they still used cash on a daily basis, many are shifting to modern payment methods, with 32% using their mobile device to pay for goods or services, and 22% using wearables.

One in five of those surveyed said they used cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, and these were particularly strong in Eastern Europe where 44% of respondents said they used virtual currencies.

But perhaps most strikingly - and worrying for the financial services industry - a fifth of consumers said they would be prepared to use Facebook, Google or Amazon to buy banking or insurance services.

On the flipside, respondents also said they would be prepared to buy more services from banks and insurance providers - a third said they would consider going with a bank for energy services, and 30% said they would do so for broadband.

Cutting-edge or bust

Whatever happens in the future, customers are definitely expecting their bank to keep fully up-to-date with technology and new payment methods - if they fail to do so, 37% said they'd consider leaving their banking or insurance provider.

Francois Fleutiaux, Senior Vice President and Head of Sales, EMEIA, Fujitsu, commented: "Today's customers are no longer guarded. When it makes interaction more convenient they are willing to embrace innovation. They may not know where they need it until it is offered, but this is where technology comes to the fore - it is the engine that is driving consumer expectations forward and the financial services sector has to live up to this new pace of change."

Fujitsu's survey also found that many consumers were happy to allow their bank to use their data to recommend relevant services - 47% of respondents in fact, a surprisingly high figure. And the majority, 59%, said they'd be happy for their bank to use their data to lower their mortgage premium.

So clearly, if savings are to be had, then data is definitely up for grabs for a lot of people.
