I recently realised that this is a question that all my clients raise when they begin engaging with their customers through social media. It was a question I was starting to dread because I wasn’t sure that I had a response. What they mean is: “If we start to provide customer service on Twitter, won’t everyone start using it and then it will become...

Michael Fuller Former Retail Banker at None
It's not the first time that Banks have asked me daft questions in order to identify me. Every few years of course I have to be sent a new card and as part of that process I have to "activate" it. What do Banks need to know? First that I have received the card and second that I am who I claim to be. By all means ask me about the card I ha...

Brett King CEO & Founder at Moven
Last year I commented at SIBOS that there was finally the realization that things weren't returning to normal - a new normal was emerging. This was a common theme emerging from the myriad of discussions and debates over how the industry would emerge from the wreckage of the Global Financial Crisis. In their typical prophetical style, the Innotribe ...

I attended a conference by FST on the Future of Banking in New Zealand this week. Besides the buzz in the town around the Rugby World Cup starting next week, it was obvious that there is a healthy glow of innovation coming from the market in New Zealand. Many speakers focussed on social media or mobile innovation, but it was interesting also that c...

Thoughts on the outcome of the debate on cloud computing and SaaS In my pursuit to understand cloud computing without frills, I found the document on NIST portal (http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/drafts/800-145/Draft-SP-800-145_cloud-definition.pdf) very informative and truly amazing; followed this up with ‘Gartner Highlights Five Attributes of C...

On September 12 the UK’s Independent Commission on Banking (ICB) is due to make its final report. Most observers expect the Commission to recommend a much bigger differentiation between commercial/retail banking on one hand, and investment banking on the other.
