A bit overdue, but here’s the second installment of the 4 C’s of core banking. Finding the best way to tackle legacy core systems has re-emerged as a key topic of debate among banks, from top tier global players to smaller, domestic institutions. With their vast, fragmented architectures, banks’ legacy systems are typically cumbersome and lack the...

So which topic will steal the show at SIBOS this year.. Post Crisis wheres the growth? final words on SEPA? e-Invoicing? Basel III? Mobile Payments? Security Infrastructures? Renminbi? My take is post crisis wheres the growth should be the mantra and other topics are value adds with specifics. Are banks expecting more M&As post crisis, restruct...

Love it, hate it, but you simply can’t ignore it. In recent years, few things have attracted more attention than the social networking phenomenon.

After cost control and ubiquity what’s the next frontier for channel innovation? My bet – the mind of the Gen Y customer. This generation of 18 to 20-somethings is a delightful financial contradiction or arch nemesis depending on your personal view, being money-minded but not mindful of it, a fact neatly collaborated by a study some months ago in ...

Now that the economy is on the mend, banks may take their foot off the accelerator with regard to cost cuts. But while doing so, they must guard against letting inefficiencies creep into their operations. I am clear that efficiency and cost cutting are two different things, and we must hang on to the former even if we let go of the latter. First ...

With the dust settling on Reg. E, the regulation that requires U.S. banks and credit unions to get their customers to opt-in for overdraft protection, it looks like banks’ revenue will not fall all that much because a surprisingly high number of customers, particularly habitual offenders, said they needed the facility. Seems that everyone went awa...

So, after all the expectation, it’s happened. With its Revised Policy Statement (10/17), the Financial Services Authority (FSA) has removed the initial exemption for mobile calls and texts.

The term „liquidity trap" was suggested by Keynes (1936) as a situation in which monetary policy is unable to stimulate an economy through increasing money supply or lowering interest rates. Liquidity traps typically occur when deflation is expected. Under the Keynesian conception of a liquidity trap further injections into the money ...
