What are you thinking?

We've unleashed another exciting update to the Community Section of Finextra. Call me Ebeneezer, if you will, but just because Christmas is around the corner, I don't think it's time yet to allow the Finextra web team to slacken off. When you go to your private Member Profile section (click on your name in the Community tab), you will now see a n...

Finextra News story pages get a spruce up

Finextra community members private profile spruce up

We've been busy little bees here at Finextra Towers. The latest update to the Finextra site is a revamp of the private profile page that Community Members see when they log on.

More subtle changes to Finextra.com

We've made another subtle change at Finextra. The Careers pages are now more streamlined. Previously we had a page for searching jobs and a page for displaying a list of jobs.

This green and pleasant land gets a little bit greener

We can all breathe a little easier now. As part of our server upgrade last month for each new server, the International Tree Foundation has planted a tree for us in Chesham. A couple of years ago I sponsored a goat in some far flung place & I received photos of the goat & the family that owned it. Should the ITF do something similar with...
