My e-Journey - over 40 years. Part 4. Going Nordic

Banking in Finland was hit very hard by an economic recession of unseen proportions in the early 90s. One unfortunate aspect was that local banks before that had hastily been deregulated and massed into commercial lending without the needed experience.

My e-Journey - over 40 years. Part 3. Interconnecting customers

Why should I jot down some notes from my digitalisation and leadership journey? Because I think that this experience from innovation ladders (one thing leads to another - and eventually to a new level - base for the next ladders) and engaging people for good-for-society-at-large actions (start with WHY - a purpose) can still be useful.

Shared finance - A gap in the industry

In Retail banking most account flows are relatively easy, as usually there is only 1 account holder and in the rare case there are multiple account holders each account holder has full access rights to the account.
