  • VezoPay on new South African-made payment ring
    Jul 1 2024
    A new smart payment ring has been launched in South Africa – and it’s built by South Africans for South Africans.
    In this episode of the TechCentral Show (TCS), TechCentral editor Duncan McLeod chats to VezoPay founders Jake Pinkus and Lawrence Baker about the launch of the ring – it’s available in three variants at launch – and what was behind the idea.
    In the interview, they not only explain why they decided to build a payment ring, but also why they’re entering what could soon become a highly competitive market globally, with both Samsung Electronics and Apple expected to launch their own smart rings later this year.
    Pinkus and Lawrence unpack:
    • How long they’ve been working on the payment ring, and where the idea came from;
    • How much research and development was involved, and who’s backing the innovation;
    • How the technology works, and what exactly is inside the ring;
    • The various options available at launch;
    • How it works without having to be charged;
    • How the security features work (without giving the game away);
    • How VezoPay is working with South African banks;
    • Whether the ring can be used for ticketing (concerts, Gautrain, etc);
    • How much it costs;
    • The potential competition from Samsung and Apple; and
    • VezoPay’s plans to expand beyond South Africa’s borders.

  • Kartik Mistry on Standard Bank Connect and SA's MVNO industry
    Jun 26 2024
    Kartik Mistry, recently appointed head of Standard Bank Connect, believes there is still strong growth ahead for South Africa’s mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) market.
    Standard Bank, which recently rebranded its MVNO from Standard Bank Mobile to Standard Bank Connect and shifted its network partner from Cell C to MTN South Africa, has launched a new value proposition in cellular communications for its customers.
    TechCentral editor Duncan McLeod is joined by Mistry on the TechCentral Show, where he explains the bank’s decision to partner with MTN and why it decided to engage directly with a mobile network operator rather than working through an “enablement” partner as it had done previously.
    Kartik, who has experience in both telecommunications – he has previously served as chief operating officer at Rain – and in banking, talks about the state of the MVNO market in South Africa, where Standard Bank Connect is positioning itself strategically, and why the market might be primed for consolidation.

  • Dean Furman on who is winning the AI race
    Jun 18 2024
    The big developer conferences by Microsoft, Google and Apple this year all focused on artificial intelligence, with each setting out a unique strategy to win in the AI race.
    But what did Microsoft’s Build, Google’s I/O and Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference tell us about each company’s strategy, and which company is leading in the race to commercialise generative AI?
    Dean Furman, a South African AI expert and keynote speaker, joins TechCentral editor Duncan McLeod on the TechCentral Show (TCS) to unpack the companies’ keynote presentations and what they tell us not only about their strategies but also where the technology is headed in the coming years.
    Furman, who also provides training on AI to corporate South Africa, chats about what the latest developments mean for businesses and consumers, and dives into what the technology means for productivity.
