'We're a bank. We don't suck' - The Twitterview Transcript

Wow, cool tech - but does it pass the 'bum' test?

I'm been writing (and now video-ing and webcasting) about the non-cool side of technology for 16 years. (sorry, guys I love single dealer portals and real-time messages buses too, but they're not making it to cover of Vanity Fair any time soon). I've never been to Comex, never been to Silicon Valley, and have never been given a cool new gadget to r...

What is your digital persona?

At the Digital Money Forum last week, Kosta Peric of Swift mentioned a project at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where they seek to critique data mining techniques to see how the web 'sees' you. The results are interesting, and odd. Even though I'm a journalist, you could say my name appears fairly often online, the large amounts of g...

Collaboration is key - but does your data manager know?

Last Friday's afternoon chat with Enrico Camerinelli, senior analyst at Celent - Processes, People and Technology in Global Transaction Banking - talked about strategies for the development of global transaction banking departments in the midst of the credit crunch. The panel, which included representatives from HSBC, Swift, IT/2 and the Cranfield...

EBADay 2010 - Luxembourg, here we come!

Finextra HQ has been a hive of activity around planning the upcoming EBADay - to be held on the 26th and 27th of May in Luxembourg. Registration is open and the agenda has been set. It should not be a surprise to many that this year the focus will be on the Single Euro Payments Area (Sepa) as well as the Payments Services Directive (PSD) and Sepa...

Curling - the sport of Masters of the Universe

I like watching skating - mens, womens, pairs, ice dancing (yes, there is a difference). But since the UK hasn't had a contender on the ice since Torville and Dean (look them up) the BBC doesn't show any skating in prime time! What they do show is curling. A sport where men and women slide stones on the ice and chase in front of them with brooms. W...

HFTs - Who feels their pain?

Yesterday, I briefly attended a heavily populated event looking at ... you guessed it...high frequency trading. Nothing is guaranteed to fill a room these days more that those HFTs. (2010's equivalent of 'low latency') The talk was supposed to be centred on the pros and cons of various types of market access - exchange membership, sponsored access ...

Banks and social media - More substance or more Kool-Aid?

Finextra recently held a live Twitterview with Brett King, banking consultant and author of upcoming book Bank 2.0. During the conversation, King says that online banking will beat branch banking this year - and that the time has come to call all services ‘mainstream banking'. More controversially, King claimed that regulations were just an ‘excus...
