As the Summer sings its siren song, our thoughts at Finextra HQ inevitably flow to Sibos (this year in Amsterdam!). While I'm anticipating my first Sibos where I'm not overwhelmingly jet lagged for the entire week, we at Finextra are busy deciding how to deck out our very first stand (Stand number A519). Seasoned conference attendees are well verse...

I've been on holiday for the past few weeks. But even as I sat on the beach, building sand castles with my five-year old, I still lent a thought to the world of financial services. An old friend in New York sent me a message over Facebook asking if I knew anything about SmartyPig or banksimple, asking along the lines 'are these real banks?' She hol...

Panorama ran a 30 minute programme last night on banks - old-fashioned, high street, retail banks. In true mainstream media style (I'm getting increasingly frustrated with the BBC of late) the focus was on branch banks. Now, don't get me wrong, branch banks are still a force to be reckoned with.

There was a bit of a Twitter storm over this utterly, mind-numbingly ridiculous item from BBC4's the World the Weekend on the, now four year old 'storm in a teacup' that is the US/Swift data privacy debate, which contained such statements as this: Shaun Ley, BBC4 presenter: "If you pop down to the garden centre or a supermarket this afternoon...

I attended a conference last week, in Berlin. (where else would I be?) It was a multi-industry event sponsored by SAS, the Premier Business Leadership Series (basically it was their client conference). Before I delve into the banking stream, the first half of the conference focused on big issue, global economy and business leader issues. It was wit...

I spent the week, not sitting on my 'arse' in the office, but out and about wafting through the world of financial data and technology, Twittering when I could, like the delicate flower that I am. I was going to pick out one or two topics to blog about, but instead will serve up snippets of my week. First up - Monday and the always enjoyable FISD W...

A while ago, soon after the news that Citi 'verified' its Twitter account, I sent a Tweet to Jamie Punishill, or @jpunishill for you Twitterers. 'How about a video interview or a 'Twitterview'?' Jamie was the face and name behind @AskCiti, which supports customer relations in the US. He was up for it. Schedules and questions went back and forth. &q...
