THE SHIFTING VIEWS ON FAMILY REMITTANCES

After a series of media interviews a couple of weeks ago, in a trip to Guatemala, I realized in a moment that I was witnessing a change in the public perception of remittances that I had not grasped before.

Confronting the digital disruption - A Banks’ Anti Dote

One aspect of the Digital Disruption for Banks is a fifth dimension, the Openness to Collaboration which is how banks will relate to the NBFIs - Non-Bank Financial Institutions and their tremendous growth. Banks can decide to Compete and De-Market FIs (closing their Bank Accounts, force regulation against them) or Collaborate, developing APIs, opening Banking rails to NBFIs, etc. For example in Mobile Products; are they going to collaborate with Mobile Service Providers or are they going to confront them (the case of Kenya is a great example: M-Pesa, Ecobank), the case of Rogers becoming a FI in Canada, etc. Or are anks going to acquire these NBFIs to get access to these innovations?
