An orderly transition to the new branch state

I guess with a title like 'Branch Today, Gone Tomorrow' it's no surprise that a lot of people think I'm anti-branch. I'm not anti-branch, I just don't drink from the branch kool-aid fountain that goes something like "if only we could find the right formula we'd reverse this trend of not visiting the branch and customers would flock back to ou...

Movenbank yields to pressure and opens their first branch

In response to the strong demand for us to compete with the main street branch players, our recent efforts at crowdsourcing our business model has led us to investigate a revolutionary new form of branch for the US and UK markets. The new branches which we at Movenbank simply call ‘the space’ is designed to give our rapidly growing customer base t...

Why Durbin will Kill the Branch

In the UK and Australia, account keeping fees are nothing new. In the US, however, since the introduction of the Durbin amendment, many US banks have been moving to monthly fees on checking accounts (we call them current accounts generally outside of the US) for the first time. These moves have resulted in often massive backlash from the public, ...

The End Game in Disruption

In the Times business section in the UK today, Andrew Haldane, the Financial Stability Director for the Bank of England was quoted as suggesting that we are entering a phase where the banking sector is being reshaped as a result of technology. Haldane pointed to innovations like Kiva, P2P and social collaboration as some of the forces effecting th...

Lessons from Apple - great branches don't get customers back

The new iPad just launched to the usual hype, anticipation and fanfare. Every time a new Apple product comes off the assembly line, it gets put under the biggest magnifying glass imaginable as crowds of onlookers parse the announcement with scholarly intensity, hoping to piece together a picture of what might emerge and what the implications for t...

Mobile Banking versus the Mobile Wallet

With recent news that Barclays Pin-git (or is it Ping-it) has had 120,000 downloads in 5 days, that Square has 1m merchants on their payments platform (1/8th of all US card merchants/retailers) and Starbucks is doing 25% of it's North American payments via a cardless App - it seems like Mobile Payments are taking off like the H1N1 virus. The inter...

Fear not the social media crowd

Well, I see the Facebook/Twitter hysteria is at fever pitch again. There's the concern around market events like the fake Sina Weibo post stating that Kim Jong Un had been assasinated, apparently corroborated by the evidence of a cavalcade of black limosuines arriving at the North Korean embassy in Beijing around the same time. This started in Chi...

Forget the NFC argument - look at payments behavior

The debate about NFC and mobile payments rages on. There's questions over which handset platform to support, which devices are certified, the lack of real NFC standards, how to enable the secure component on the various cellular networks and so forth? To a novice this all sounds very complex? Shouldn't we worry about adoption rates? When will mobi...

Disintermediation or Disruption - the challenges ahead

There's a great deal of discussion and debate around what will ultimately happen to banking as a result of the massive changes in connectivity, utility, mobility and customer experience taking place right now. One thing is for sure, the world is changing. We see PayPal owning online payments, with others like Stripe hot on their tails. Square is at...
