Retargeting As A Bank Digital Marketing Strategy

Over the weekend, my son and I were looking at new car options on Edmunds.com. After about 45 minutes on the site, I decided to leave the virtual showroom only to be 'stalked' by car ads for the next two days as I visited totally unrelated locations on the web (I am sure the retargeting won't end soon). Even my entry into the Edmonds.com site was ...

One of the most interesting sessions at Sibos on Wednesday looked at the impact of regulation on transaction banking, which would at first glance fall into the “boring, complicated and dull” category; however it was both fascinating and worrying. The session pitched two senior banking figures, Francesco Vanni d'Archirafi of Citi and Jaspal Singh Bi...

Lessons from Japan

Things I have learned in the first two days here at Sibos in Osaka. I encountered my first musical heated toilet seat; I learned that the ATMs here dispense coins, and I discovered that everything is incredibly expensive - a fact neatly illustrated by a stunned Financial Times staffer who discovered his room service club sandwich had set him back ...

Looking at the recent news stories or even just a quick glance at Finextra, a reader would have no doubt that change is coming to branch banking. What would be perhaps open to debate is the level of change. Plenty of recent stories have suggested that c conceptually branch banking will remain the same, just with more technology, nicer stores and s...
