Jordan “Dusty” Drew arrived at the Bella Centre yesterday…

… as did Giorgio

UPDATE:

Right, so far against all the odds, the first person to reach the Bella Centre is Ash Cooper (!) using only gold. That’s right, gold. In order to come first, he now just has to not forfeit to win!

Ali has arrived second at the Bella Centre after a wobbly start, managed to make it in £30 instillments.

Kevin is currently in Paris, after checking out the JCB Plaza

I am pleased to announce that we will be speaking on the first day of Money 2020 Europe

Our presentation is more of an experiment…

On the Friday before the event, we have a group of ‘Vloggers’ leaving Trafalgar Square to head to Copenhagen… but there’s a catch. Each ‘Vlogger’ is only allowed to use one form of payment method!

Racer 01: Kevin Leslie & JCB

Racer 02: Mr Cooper & Goldmoney

Racer 03: Jordan “Dusty” Drew & Saxo Payments

Racer 04: Stuart Thomas & ATMIA

Racer 05: Giorgio Zinetti & Spire Payments

Racer 06: Ali Paterson & TAS Group

Racer 07: Dave Erasmus & Coin Corner

Racer 08: Misha Jessel-Kenyon & AEVI

Their payment options include Chip and Pin, Mag strip, Bitcoin, Mobile Payments, Pennies (!) only, Gold Bullion, Cheques and potentially more!

The entire “race” will be documented on camera, leading up to Money 2020 Europe, with each person armed with a “Vlog Camera” and a limited budget in their chosen category.

For the presentation, we will have the ”contestants”  come on stage to talk about the limitations and positives they faced using only one type of payment. We will then have a video link up with those contestants who were unable to make it to the Bella Centre.
