Digital payments have increased considerably in Colombia. It is estimated that a high percentage of SMEs already have this system and have seen benefits in their administrative processes and the simplification of accounting.

Business owners base their activities on the digital payment system. SMEs that have not integrated them are often forced to reject transactions, which is not good for business.

According to the study “Panorama of the Adoption of Digital Payments in Latin America and the Caribbean,” led by MasterCard, SMEs represent the core of commerce in Colombia, and digital payments are a fundamental pillar of their development.

Data from this document reveals that in Colombia, “90 % of SMEs that accept digital payments report experiencing significant business growth, while 94 % highlight that it has saved them time and money.”

Currently, MasterCard is supporting more than 80,000 SMEs in their digital transformation process. They are a technological and operational ally.

Ferrari has asked its customers to report counterfeit products not only in the automotive market but also in the clothing and accessories segment.

The brand, through a complementary badge, “enlists its followers, users and fans to hunt for counterfeit products,” especially taking into account that its cars are among the most valuable in the world.

Through a communication with CNN, Ferrari gave details of the problems caused by counterfeiting, insisting that they will work to combat this way of devaluing the brand.

The company launched a program that enlists the help of owners and fans to encourage them to spot counterfeits of all kinds: from cars to golf carts to appliances.

“We have received more than a thousand notifications since we started the project and have thus been able to take action against a series of companies that sell counterfeit products,” reported a Ferrari spokesperson.

The complainants could receive a gift, not yet detailed, which they have referred to as an indefinite “Ferrari complementary device.”

A price increase in the Spotify streaming platform service is imminent. This has been leaked by company contacts to Bloomberg, where there is also talk that it will offer a new plan and content.

The changes apparently relate to audiobooks, which Spotify “added for free last year in some countries, although not Spain.” Audiobooks represent a high cost for the platform, which would justify the increase in price.

Regarding the cost after the increase, it has been speculated that the Swedish platform “is going to increase the price of all its plans between 1 and 2 euros per month, depending on the plan.” The new, lower-cost plan will not include audiobooks.

According to data provided to Bloomberg, the price increase will take place this April in the United Kingdom, Australia, Pakistan, and two other countries. It will spread to the rest of the world throughout the year.

Through a statement from the AT&T company, issued this Saturday, it was learned about the leak to the dark web of personal data of 73 million account holders in the United States.

An investigation has been initiated for this event that occurred approximately two weeks ago, but preliminary data indicates that the data leak includes information on the Social Security numbers of the holders.

Preliminarily, the company has indicated that they did not receive an alert of unauthorized access to their system. In addition, it emphasizes that the publication of information on the dark web does not include financial data “or specific details about call history.”

According to AT&T, “the breach shows that approximately 7.6 million current account holders and 65.4 million former account holders were affected.”

The first measure in response to the event has been to contact customers and ask them to reset their account passwords and remain alert to “changes in their accounts or credit reports.”

The bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX got the judge’s approval to sell more than $1 billion in shares of artificial intelligence startup Anthropic.

Judge John Dorsey of the Delaware Bankruptcy Court ruled at a hearing on 22 February that the sale could take place after FTX made concessions with some clients who opposed the sale.

Clients had alleged that Anthropic’s shares did not belong to FTX; they said they were acquired with embezzled client funds, citing evidence presented during the criminal trial of FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried.

However, they agreed to the sale if they were later allowed to claim money from it for FTX users. FTX’s attorney at Sullivan & Cromwell, Andrew Dietderich, told the court that they are selling the shares of Anthropic “and we put the money in the bank.”

He added that FTX will reimburse users with the funds from the sale of its stake in Anthropic and add them to the $6.4 billion it currently has in the bank, an amount more than enough to reimburse anyone who can show they own a share of the profits.

The financial frenzy of Anthropic, one of the most attractive AI start-ups, raised $7.3 billion last year, as the appeal of AI changes the way business is done in Silicon Valley.

FTX filed a motion earlier this month to sell its 7.84% stake in Anthropic. It first invested about $530 million in the AI startup in April 2022, months before it collapsed and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November of that year.

The contactless payment modality will be a reality in the commercial environment of Venezuela, where the migration has already begun, with the support of NewTech experts.

This is the “consulting, implementation and management services company for Microsoft technologies in Venezuela”. Its purpose is the implementation of the contactless payment system to provide greater speed and security to customers.

Venezuela is not on the sidelines of progress in this area. Hence, the start of the migration to contactless payments in stores, hand in hand with the national banking system, just as they do in different countries.

The general director of Newtch Solutions Group Venezuela, Milagros Borboa, pointed out: “The initiative is driven by the MasterCard brand. Somehow, they have been motivating the banks to migrate the technology”. She stressed that “this transformation occurs at the same time that the Maestro debit card is also readjusting to the latest innovations.”

One of the main challenges in the commercial environment in Venezuela is to equip businesses with points of sale with contactless technology. The migration process could take up to a year.
