A new Deloitte report: The future of exchanging value, uncovering new ways of spending, examines how new payments models and alternative online currencies are already taking hold and canvasses the threats they pose to traditional payments players. see report here: http://www.deloitte.com/assets/Dcom-Australia/Local%20Assets/Documents/news-research/Deloitte_The_future_of_exchanging_value_19_07_2012.pdf Quote Today Facebook Credits, Bitcoin and even loyalty or reward credits are emerging as complementary currencies that can be used to purchase online, ore real world goods and services.
