Retail banks get consumer happy

SEPA a rule of convenience

SEPA is going to get a firm date at last but where are the sanctions for countries who don't comply? I have said this many times before but rules without a penalty are not worth writing. It's of course the European way to be collaborative and well, just nice, but this is hardly a frightening prospect for great big hairy global bankers. However, le...

There is plenty of detail that has yet to emerge so discussions and debate is somewhat premature however there was a loud call to arms by the panel of experts.

EBAday: a single migration end-date for Sepa?

For the first time in a long time Sepa hasn't really dominated EBAday. Finally, it seems, we're nearly there on migration end-dates and can start concentrating on other matters. The EC's Michael Thom told delegates at the migration session that the commission is now ready to get down to negotiations with the European Parliament and an agreement sho...
