Financial services regulation as a creator of opportunities

The United States presidential race is in its home stretch. Trump is confident of victory but his policies for the financial services industry are questionable. In his manifesto he states he wants to rid the US of the Dodd-Frank law, which he feels is impeaching on the amount of capital financial institutions can hold. His opponent, and a former F...

Security - worth paying for in a digital world?

When performing their daily banking routines, customers don’t want to be bothered by complex security features and authentication procedures. Today, they expect simple and fast user interfaces and often take for granted that their financial resources are protected. However, at the UK’s leading FinTech event last month, a question was posed on whet...

Optimizing data analytics in the Zettabyte Age

The amount of data created in our society is increasing exponentially and is predicted to reach 44 zettabytes by 2020. As discussed in my previous blog, the amount of data could fill enough iPads to build a stack reaching two-thirds way to the Moon.

Data is everywhere. Every day, 2.5 Quintillion bytes of data is created around the world. To put that into perspective, a quintillion is one followed by 18 zeros. In 2013, we were already creating enough data to fill a stack of iPads that reaches two-thirds way to the Moon. By 2020, the amount of iPads needed to store the world’s data could take ...

Metro Bank alone has 655,000 customers, a year-on-year rise of 46 per cent, with deposits rising by 78 per cent to £5.2 billion. These ba...

Challenger Banks and their High Street rivals can learn from each other

We recently took part in a Financial Services event in London attended by the High Street banks we all know and some newer names to banking, notably Atom and Tandem.
