Sources inside Thomson Reuters have said that Tom Glocer's plans for the massive market data, news, technology etc, etc, etc...vendor must proceed without failure or he (and by default everyone else) is toast.

It is axiomatic that banks have traditionally had problems in measuring their payments business and the value it brings to their bottom line. Are payments just a means to securing a corporate’s DDA or current account? Are they merely an adjunct to credit relationships?

As we dally in Europe with double-dip recession or recovery, and the Greek financial woes, life is indeed strange at the moment. And so is our attitude towards SEPA.
