The economic crisis that started in 2007 and ...

Sibos 2010: rebuilding trust

In yesterday’s blog, I focused on what regulation means for the payments industry. This time it is another of the key themes being discussed at Sibos that takes the focus: rebuilding trust. The breakdown of confidence in the wholesale banking market has created a significant customer funding gap in many countries. While banks look to lower costs, t...

Sibos 2010: regulation

The global financial industry is only days away from Sibos and at ACI we’re ready to go. The stand is arranged, the meetings have been set up and the events have been planned.

Sibos: the real theme is cost reduction

We’ve been gearing up for Sibos for a couple of months now and in all our discussions with London-based international bankers, the show’s themes of the three Rs: Regulation, Rebuilding Trust and Recovery, seem to be ringing true.

What do you want from us? ... at Sibos

As the Summer sings its siren song, our thoughts at Finextra HQ inevitably flow to Sibos (this year in Amsterdam!). While I'm anticipating my first Sibos where I'm not overwhelmingly jet lagged for the entire week, we at Finextra are busy deciding how to deck out our very first stand (Stand number A519).

Cash and Liquidity Management obstacles.

In 2008 the great and the good of the banking world were attending SIBOS Vienna with no more thought than for any previous SIBOS or banking trade show. Even as delegates were checking into the conference on the Monday morning shockwaves were sent throughout the assembled bankers as news of Lehman’s and the fall out of the toxic loans hit the news
