It's interesting to hear it said at IPS2011 that performing real time reconciliation is crucial to managing liquidity risk . I would agree with this but for the fact that if the demand is really there then why is it that the necessary data is so hard to come by? Crucial implies that this is must have data, but what are banks doing to ensure tha...

I blogged earlier this week about the importance of payments and banks adding value for their corporate customers, which is being highlighted at IPS.

The past 30 years ha...
