Craig Ramsey Head of Real-Time Payments at ACI Worldwide
It’s a fact that when it comes to banking and payments, customers have high expectations of reliability, efficiency and dependability. This has not changed over the decades. What makes it more challenging for banks today is the speed at which transactions occur, along with the sheer growth of the number and complexity of payments. More and more pay...

So Monday has come and gone – what’s the mood of delegates at Sibos? With some exceptions I believe the feeling is of cautious pessimism. We know that things are not going well, but for the time being nothing has yet happened. Lazaró Campos, CEO of SWIFT whose event this is, reflected the uncertainty in his address to the Opening Plenary: “the per...

Payments hubs have been a talking point for a number of years now. Once envisioned as the 'silver bullet' for payment system consolidation, the reality has become somewhat different. I've talked to a lot of different banks over the past few months, including some at Sibos, about the status of the hub projects they have undertaken. The overwhelmin...

I was last in Toronto almost thirty years ago and, unsurprisingly, a lot has changed, notably the huge number of tall buildings now clustering around the tallest, the CN Tower. Thirty years a...

It’s hard to believe that Sibos is upon us again. It doesn’t seem like almost a year since we were all in Amsterdam. (Although they do say that times goes faster as you get older, so maybe that’s to blame…) In a world where so much is ‘virtual’, I must confess to a small stab of guilt at the thought of so many people travelling from around the worl...

Effective communication with customers is undoubtedly a key objective for all organisations, but with the rise in automation in the financial sector, banks are under increased pressure to use this in a positive way and use many different channels to stay in touch with their customers. Social media is currently considered to be the modern way to co...

Having not long come back from visiting one of the Greek Islands I declare my hand as a fan of Greece, or at least its Islands. It pains me to see the problems its going through but you can’t help but wonder at the ‘spare the rod, spare the child’ attitude of the EU. In their haste to broaden the club, they rushed through the Greek application w

Sibos once again fast approaches, the programme is largely set and delegates can begin to plan their week in Toronto in some detail. As the recent financial crisis is no longer centre stage, the overall themes for Sibos recognise that the focus is shifting to the future and that the industry is grappling with new questions, especially around the i...
