Shock and awe - change is good!

There is the saying that ‘nobody likes change’ and in most cases you can attribute that to the fear of the unknown. Or, it is possible that people may just think that the old ways are better. I was shocked to learn from one of my colleagues that Deutsche Bank is not giving away toy cars at Sibos this year. Children of Sibos attendees across the g...

Social Media is NOT just another Media Channel

I’ve just attended the Sibos Webcast on social media, with the hope to listen some breaking announcement on the utilization of Social Media in the Banking industry. The discussion was a sort of déjà-vu of discussions from 15 years ago about the decision to have or not have a web site. What I haven’t heard during the discussion is that Social Med

The real payments impacts from liquidity regulations

As a key theme for Sibos, there is a lot of discussion about the impact of regulations, and the unexpected consequences that all too often accompany new rules. The BASEL III focus has been on ensuring banks are well funded to cope with problems that may occur in the market, with the particular focus on the failure of an entity involved in a transac...

Getting one view of financial crime

Anyone who has worked in a bank, or has spent any length of time working with them, knows that technology silos are all too commonplace. Many banks have one system to process debit card payments, another for credit, a third for online banking, and the list goes on. The same applies for fraud prevention and detection, where many banks aren't yet ta...

The day stockbroking died

SIBOS may have just witnessed a day that put the first nail in 'execution only stockbroking'. peterevans one of the smaller software houses is demonstrating its new app, which basically negates the need for the middle man (stockbroker) by executing directly on the Stock Exchange. The obvious thought is to link the app to the wholesale market and g...

Mobile banking is about small screen real estate

Is it a sign of economic recovery that people at Sibos 2010 have such a good sense of humour? Like this speaker at the Mobile Keynote who stated that “mobile banking is about small screen real estate”. Hilarious! In case you didn’t know yet, mobile is not just a new channel and should certainly not be considered as one. Don’t think that it’s just a...

The Rapid Disintermedation of Retail Bankers

The concept that banking is necessary, but banks are not has often been debated. The question of whether technology advances and new business model results in disintermediation is often dismissed as hype. While the Internet is undoubtedly the most significant technological advanced of the modern age, most retail bankers would argue that this onl

SIBOS getting 'appy'

This year SIBOS in an 'appy' mood. With a number of vendors demoing apps, in particular, I was really impressed with peterevans and Information Mosaic (IM) who have both produced great apps that will set the trend for the future. peterevans has a great trade execution app and IM something wonderful in Corporate Actions. I predict that next years S...

Lets hear it for the news

A lasting memory of SIBOS this year is the fantastic job that FINEXTRA has done in bringing up to date news, informative interviews, comments and some real entertainment during very long days. Nick Hastings and his team take a bow! In my opinion delegates could benefit furthur, if the FINEXTRA news/ topical videos featured more in the future, by pe...

What will it take to get to SEPA?

The challenges of regulation for SEPA were made clear in the "SEPA 2010" session at Sibos today when the European Commission declared that "moving from self-regulation to regulation is not a small step but a major challenge”. In a sense, that sentiment comes as no surprise at all, given how far we've already travelled down the road ...
