My take on MWC2013

Hoping to unwind on the AVE back to Madrid after a frenetic 2 days at Mobile World Congress, I can't help but ponder my insights and learnings as we cut across the Spanish countryside at 300 KM/H. It's been an exciting two days, focused primarily on meeting with financial institutions and scouting for innovations and possible disruptions in fintec...

Google, Digital Mailboxes and the long tail of eBilling

I'm actively following the PR hype about Digital Mailboxes (you know - one place to get/save all my financial documents) – just waiting for Google (through Gmail) to announce its intentions in this space. Indeed, I'm somewhat perplexed that it hasn't already done so. Perhaps it's just following a similar strategy to Volly (that has again postponed...

Is now the time for major regulatory change?

Discussions in Brussels between EU country representatives on European banking ended last night, with the decision taken to automatically cap banker bonuses at the level of their salary or two times their pay, if a shareholder majority grants it. The UK is worried that the ruling will damage its position as a major international financial hub. But...

Brazil eInvoicing - Production Support is the Real Cost

Over the last year, many companies have been re-evaluating their strategy for managing Brazil Nota Fiscal and Latin America eInvoicing in general.

No tax please, we're British, Italian, French...

The debate about Financial Transaction Taxes (FTTs) seems to roll on and on. Italy’s FTT is due to come into force this Friday and two democrats in the US want to introduce an American FTT. Even EU Tax Commissioner Algirdas Semeta says a global tax on financial transactions eventually should be a reality. All of this got me thinking about what the...

Four Regulations; One Delivery Plan

On the plane back from a meeting recently, I got to thinking about the complexity of compliance. The sheer number of new and evolving regulations that are coming down the road is simply staggering. Imagine having overall responsibility for understanding each of these new regulations, analysing and determining their impact on the bank and having to...

Idea for disruptive innovation in Banks

There is a lot of discussions and activities around the revival of the good old ATM. Some are trying to make these machines more user centric like Wells Fargo. Some are trying to improve the overall user experience of the ATM like Diebold. However, the true question should be the following: "Do we even need an ATM? Is there a better, eas...

Will your ATM contract be working as hard as you in 2013?

Now the New Year is well and truly in full swing and personal performance plans for 2013 are on file, it’s interesting to compare the process many of us followed for ourselves, with the one followed for our outsourcing contracts. Do you pay the same level of attention to goal setting, coaching and driving performance in the contract between you a...

Switching OMS's - Not as Daunting as One Would First Think

Interesting research from the Tabb Group on how the buy-side is split on the concept of the combined OMS/EMS solution. Not surprising that many of the buy-side firms surveyed liked the overall concept of the combined OMS/EMS, but they were not so keen on moving towards these types of solution due to trader preferences, etc. We have always maintain...
