David Beer shared thisThe subscription economy continues to grow at a rapid pace, causing complexity and massive opportunities. Banks can play a critical role in this journey. Now under regulation from the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) in the UK, subscription merchants will be have to give clear information upfront about the contract conditions and clear customers reminders when a free or discounted trial is about to end, or when contracts that are a year or longer are about to be renewed. This includes a 14-day cooling off period will allow consumers to get a "full or proportionate refund" if they forget to cancel after a free trial, or the subscription auto-renews. Banks can clearly offer this within there banking experience, giving there customers a single source of truth and the ability to mange all of there subscriptions in one place. This news now means subscription management features in the banking app are now an imperative and a must feature for 2026. let’s see how this unfolds in the coming months. https://lnkd.in/d3zBzKuKNew laws to make it easier to cancel subscriptionsNew laws to make it easier to cancel subscriptions

David Beer shared thisCongrats John. Sharing this with my network for visibility. You may get a few people interested in this. Great idea and some of your other tool are also amazing for insights and intelligence.David Beer shared thisI've built a free brand-reputation diagnostic AI prod that analyses what you claim is your brand versus how AI actually picks it up from its vast capability to synthesise the information. It identifies the gaps in your brand. I built this on the back of a ton of feedback from customers and founders of startups that want to understand how to cut-through the ocean of information that AI not only contributes to, but synthesises the volumes of data (the "sludge spiral"). All of which affects brand visibility and growth. So I decided to put on my brand-reputation hat back on, dusted off my old coding skills, and sat down over two days to bash out a simplified version to test, get feedback and then iterate. Here it is! This free brand diagnostic tool is the "lite" version only. So it's a bit brittle and scratchy, but it was built in just two days and it's only ultra-lite MVP :) Give it a go - link in the comments - and I'm offering 20 spots to startups as early testers of the product to bring shape and robustness to the product. My intention is to build these agents based on industry best-practice reputation management and my own framework based on 25+ years of strategic communications and reputation management. So it's grounded in deep domain expertise. The goal is to connect to the customer: not just about what they think, but whether what they think aligns with how your target audience evaluates credibility and makes decisions. This the "resonance gap". The value is in closing it - and that's where we come in. DM for more info. I'm not into these "comment below" for stuff...if you want it, hit me up.

David Beer shared thisI had the privilege to spend last week in Amsterdam meeting clients, spending time with our Dutch colleagues, and speaking at Security Connect. Wow, what a week. A massive thank you to Matilde Slotte and Maarten Driessen, who were amazing. They joined me on stage to give their thoughts, insights, and experiences of the subscription economy. The conversations reinforced the great work that is being done and the need for a digital-first approach to drive greater value and impact. Massive thanks to a few key people for making this trip so special. Firstly, Pieter Van Tienen for inviting me, supporting me, and for being an amazing host of the event. And Nina Bhalla, Adnan Falioun, Lilia Kolesnyk 🇺🇦, Mandy Schafer and Bob M. Hendriks for organising an amazing conference. Finally, to our Dutch team, Annebet Beerman, Marianne Sebregts, Dancker Bijleveld, Caroline de Rooij-Steinert, and Heval Deliktaş, for bringing the community together and for your market insights.

David Beer reposted thisDavid Beer reposted thisI’m excited that Westpac is the first bank in Australia to empower customers to view and cancel unwanted subscriptions directly in the Westpac App. With research showing 5.5 million Australians waste money on duplicate or unused subscriptions, this feature gives customers greater control, saving them both time and money. Very proud of the Consumer Finance and Digital teams for driving this innovation in collaboration with Mastercard, solving real pain points for our customers and strengthening our position as the #1 banking app in the market. Looking forward to seeing this live early next year! https://lnkd.in/gfRJWk6TAustralians can cancel subscriptions in the Westpac App as annual spend tops $6.7 billionAustralians can cancel subscriptions in the Westpac App as annual spend tops $6.7 billion

Spot on, Alan. The challenge is we often see a one size fits all approach that doesn’t work.
With so many subscriptions, a single view and all of your notifications in one place is also a must. Thats why I believe banks play a critical role to help their customers mange this in the most effective way.

This could be a game changer. It will be interesting to see how everyone responds.

David Beer liked thisDavid Beer liked thisI wanted to deviate from the normal business post, to a more personal one this morning...Never Forget Where You Come From, But Know Where You are Going! LinkedIn has a wonderful way of enabling all to present the picture that they may wish others to see, both in terms of genuine reality and in terms of PR - I don't judge. It is what it is; we are all guilty. But I do feel most empowered by the stories that are real journeys, the hidden work that is often done in silence, which contain the lessons, the insights and nuggets of wisdom that truly shape leadership decisions. As a teenager, I was once told that, in life, you must never forget where you come from, but know where you are going, and this stuck with me. The days ones who really know me, know what this means to me. It became a personal mantra, but also a continual lesson I also see reflected in global business today. You see, where your business started is never where you will end up, although growth is hard. It is a cliché, but it is true - many twists and turns and adversities teach you lessons that you do not wish to be taught, but you must learn them to open yourself up, to truly grow. But in every adversity, there is a lesson AND a blessing - your business or the organisation that you work for was designed to embrace unseen challenges, so that you can discover and provide hidden added value to others, and solve their needs in ways that only YOU can. This, in turn, gives you more knowledge about how to evolve your products, services and yourself. Sometimes, that means embracing and walking into the loneliness of leading within environments where no one looks like, sounds like you, or even thinks like you, regardless of what differences you may have - that is also hard. But remember, you are shaping a new pathway for others - you are adding value and enabling others to feel empowered enough to forge their own pathway, in their own time. So don't watch anyone. They probably are too focused on what they are doing to even care about what you are doing anyway :) Just do you. Never forget, you have come this far, and you are enough. Hope this message helps someone, somewhere.

David Beer reacted on thisDavid Beer reacted on thisFour weeks in to the war and the family are safe, which for my little world matters more than anything else. The UAE government has been extraordinary throughout. From the speed and effectiveness of its defence systems to the clarity and calm of its communications, it’s been a masterclass in leading through a crisis. Residents have been informed, protected, and looked after. And if there can be a silver lining from all of this destruction, it’s the departure of Dubai’s influencers! What I’ve found staggering is the response of a couple of former colleagues and friends - people who work in sustainability and human rights - to this situation. Gleeful posts and comments about missiles and drones hitting Dubai. Celebrating what is happening to a city where hundreds of thousands of ordinary people live and work. We work in a field that is built on compassion, whether that is for workers, for communities, for people caught in circumstances beyond their control. We talk endlessly about integrity, values, walking the talk. Apparently for some, that compassion has geographic limits. Longing for peace across the whole region.

David Beer liked thisDavid Beer liked this🚨 Mastercard Acquires BVNK for $1.8 Billion Mastercard has announced a $1.8 billion acquisition of BVNK, marking one of its most strategic moves into digital assets and stablecoin infrastructure. This deal isn’t just about crypto. It’s about owning the rails between fiat and on chain money. BVNK brings: • Infrastructure across 130+ countries • Native stablecoin orchestration • Real world payment capabilities beyond trading Mastercard’s strategy is becoming clear. It is building a hybrid financial network: • Cards + traditional banking rails + blockchain rails • Fiat + stablecoins + tokenized deposits • One integrated ecosystem connecting them all And the timing matters. Stablecoin payments have surged to ~$350 billion, while regulation is finally catching up. Banks and fintechs now need infrastructure that can bridge both worlds. Instead of competing with new systems, Mastercard is doing what it has always done best: owning the connectivity layer. The real play: Don’t replace existing systems. Integrate everything into one network. If this strategy succeeds: Mastercard doesn’t lose relevance in crypto. It becomes the gateway to the next financial system. 💬 Do you think payment giants like Mastercard will dominate the stablecoin ecosystem, or will crypto native players take the lead?

David Beer liked thisDavid Beer liked thisU.S. Bank for the WIN, U.S. Bank for the WIN! Amazon has announced it is moving its Amazon Business credit cards from American Express to U.S. Bank and shifting the network to Mastercard. Hard to believe it has been nearly eight years since Shark Tank’s Barbara Corcoran took the stage at Money20/20 to help launch the original Amex Amazon Business cards. Time flies! 🚀In the meantime, Amazon Business has continued to scale and now serves 8M+ organizations globally, with millions in the U.S. using it for business purchases. Customers will have two familiar options: the Prime Business Card offering Prime members 5% back on Amazon purchases, or the Amazon Business Card offering 3% back for customers without Prime. The rewards are the same but the announcement messaging for small businesses signaled "more ways to earn rewards wherever they shop and better tools to manage cash flow." 💡 Symbolic move Even if this is “only” Amazon Business, being selected by Amazon is a credibility upgrade for U.S. Bank. When the world’s largest online retailer changes its payments plumbing, it's a vote of confidence that U.S. Bank can operate at platform scale and support a business audience that cares about reliability, controls, and operational ease as much as rewards. 💡💡 Spreading the risk Amazon’s Chase-issued consumer card sits on Visa, and Amazon has been deliberate about keeping the business portfolio on a different rail first with American Express and now with Mastercard. That choice is intentional, especially given U.S. Bank’s reputation as a Visa-leaning issuer. The simplest explanation is that Amazon wants diversification, leverage, and optionality. If you keep consumer and business on separate networks, you avoid putting too much power in one place and you keep a stronger hand at the negotiating table. 💡💡💡 Test run? Chase renewed the consumer partnership with a multi-year extension in 2022, but there is no public end date. That makes the timing of this move interesting. Is Amazon using the business portfolio as a controlled environment to pressure test a new issuer and network before the next major consumer decision point arrives? I have always wondered why Amazon has not unified its cards under one issuer to unlock synergies for customers shopping on both the consumer and business platforms.

David Beer liked thisRosa, the UK Fund for Women and Girls is an amazing organisation and their event on Monday was inspiring and eye opening. Hearing from three CEOs of charities that work with Rosa filled me with awe for all the hard work going on across the UK to support women and girls. The world is a better place thanks to these organisations and thanks to Rosas continued hard work.David Beer liked thisThank you to everyone who joined us at Rosa's event 'Women Driving Change - Advancing Equality and Racial Justice'. The work done by organisations run by and for Black and racially minoritised women and girls is essential, life changing, and sometimes life saving. Our sector is desperately under funded and yet the progress we see in our society thanks to the work of women and girls is incredible but we know there is so much more to be done. Rosa is proud to be an expert funder of the women and girls sector and our event was a powerful reminder of how important our work is to raise up our sector and the organisations in it. We're so proud to have celebrated the women and girls sector with our funders, grantees, supporters, and of course Rosa's wonderful staff team and trustees Rebecca Gill, Liz Griffiths, Jess Day, Lois Appleby, Anna Jarvis, Katie Veitch, Tatiana Kidder, Joanne Jerrold, Olivia Gillan, Sarah Jackson OBE (she/her) Sheila Jane Malley, Claudia Dickens, Kay Ali, Beverley Huie, Lisa Raftery Thank you to our incredible speakers: Faty Kane, from The Angelou Centre, Esther Sterngold from Goldstar Creative Marketing Natasha Rattu from Karma Nirvana and Rosa's Thrive network: Aliza Blachman O'Keeffe Eva F.

David Beer liked thisDavid Beer liked this✨ 🏆 Honoured & humbled ✨ 🙏 When I started the peer-led Fin.Tech Marketing Community as a voluntary initiative, bringing marketing leaders together, the goal was simple: to leave a legacy for the next generation of marketers and give back to the industry. Learning, mentoring, coaching, sharing best practices, and volunteering in the community have become a huge part of what I do and the impact it has on people’s lives is incredibly rewarding. To be recognised for these efforts alongside brilliant senior leaders for the 4th time in the Women in FinTech Powerlist by Innovate Finance, this time in the 'Senior Leaders' category is truly humbling and a real honour. I’m looking forward to working even more harder and closely with the incredible women who are making a meaningful difference across fintech.
