Fintech: Latest

  • While the debate about payment-system improvements in the US have tended to focus on making them faster, in line with trends in Europe and Asia, demand in the US is focused on other priorities.
  • A subsidiary of French banking group Société Générale has launched a new supply chain finance platform designed to enable large companies to provide much-needed financing support to their small and medium-sized suppliers.
  • Citi Private Bank is set to launch its new client/banker technology platform at the end of February, with the hope it will be the industry standard for digitalization.
  • Amid litigation fears and calls for greater communication transparency, financial institutions have imposed heavy restrictions on traders’ electronic communications. However, social trading is here to stay and new platforms, such as Saxo Bank’s TradingFloor.com portal, are capitalizing on the gap in the market.
  • The strength and quality of a bank’s electronic banking security is the most important factor in selecting an international cash manager, according to finance officers and treasurers who voted in Euromoney’s cash management survey.
  • Some of Europe’s biggest companies are pushing to increase the amount of transparency on the fees banks charge across the services they provide, in an effort to bring Europe more in line with the level of disclosure in the US.
  • Some UK politicians have been calling for banks to revise their charging models to ensure better value for money and innovation for their customers.
  • Nasdaq CEO Bob Greifeld’s head must be spinning. Just as the exchange was mounting its fightback from losing the iconic Twitter listing, the key architect of its move away from equities markets has upped and left the firm for a rival. Will Nasdaq stay on its diversification course?
  • Economics and technology are conspiring to undermine the position of bank branches, which are evolving from their predominantly transactional roots to places where guidance can be offered for more complex business.
  • From the archive: in June 1996, with some prescience, then Euromoney reporter Felix Salmon investigated how far the net, or "internet protocols" would shake up banking.
  • Leading banks have been pushing contactless cards hard in the past few years but new research suggests there are security issues associated with these types of low-value transactions, which are expected to hit one billion in the UK next year.
  • The rationale behind technology has evolved over the last couple of decades. Where in the 1990s investment in technology was principally about increasing the speed at which transactions could be executed, and thereby saving cost, recent enhancements have been more about improving functionality and the customer experience.
