The Clean Slate approach to Banking

Both in life and in banking technology, few have the luxury to start over with a clean slate. Banks usually have to build upon the investments (and mistakes) of prior years.

In an increasingly fast-paced and digital world full of hype and buzzwords, it seems like the focus can often be on implementing new and innovative technologies without considering the main purpose of digitalization: to create a better customer experience that increases both wallet and market share.

It's a Crypto Crazy Christmas!!

It's a Crypto Crazy Christmas!! What you should have remembered that was told to you by Billy Ray Valentine. So, I do not have an inside information, if there is any, about the last two weeks in Crypto pricing.
