We all know that every self-respecting businessman has a mentor – someone who’ll teach the nuts and bolts of the bizworld, lead the way or offer a priceless piece of advice. But we also know that not everyone’s lucky enough to have someone like that in their life. What should you do then? Well, you can either decide that you don’t need others’ wisdom or you can look for it elsewhere. And what’s a better place for that than the internet? And so, to make it even easier for you to find it (cause we all know how big the internet is), we’ve decided to collect our favourite business (but not only!) quotes that will hopefully inspire, motivate and provoke you. We have chosen wise and witty words from some of the world’s greatest entrepreneurs and leaders, starting from Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, through Ted Turner, J. Paul Getty and ending on Guy Kawasaki, who will surely inspire you to action!
Without further ado, let me present to you… BANKS QUOTES!

Sofortbanking (which is called sofortuberweisung in Germany) is a payment system, which gives customers an ability to pay by a wire transfer from lots of European banks. Sounds great, doesn’t it?
The idea is pretty simple (and clever at the same time). Their systems are integrated with a lot of banks from around the Europe and they offer payments through these banks in one web interface. So if you want to pay in a web store, you have to be forwarded to sofort’s website, where you need to choose your bank, put your login, password and some token and… just click the submit button.
Sounds great, so what’s the problem?

Whenever we’re explaining one-click payments to our partners or clients, it’s always good to add the “just like Amazon or Apple” phrase. In most cases it says more than any detailed description would and there’s always the “big brand effect”. Of course one of the greatest advantages of one-click payments is that this solution is fast and convenient. That’s why when making a purchase, I was a bit surprised that Apple asked me to provide additional specific documents in order to prove my identity. But, as I wrote recently, confirming my identity is completely understandable in some cases. What struck me was the way it was handled.
Before I tell the story, I have to clearly state that this was a local Apple department (not the US Apple), but after some googling it looked like the same department contacts also, for example, UK customers. We also do not intend to mock or criticize Apple – we just want to present an interesting case study and an example that even really big brands either make mistakes or sometimes do not fully control their representatives.

I’ve just started working for PayLane as a developer and just after three short weeks I totally changed my mind.
