Ask a dozen bankers about the relationship between technology and innovation, and the answer will either be ‘inseparable friendship’ or ‘uneasy truce’.... or something to that effect. I have observed, and research confirms, that this polarised viewpoint is linked to market maturity. Almost without exception, banks around the world agree that IT is...

Basel III is setting the precedence for re-establishing the rules, as a result of the fall out of the financial market post-2008. The key aspects – tighter rules for tier-one capital, higher ratios of tier-one capital in relation to risk-weighted assets, new borrowing ratio relative to tier-one capital, new liquidity provisions, and measures to ...

First off, let me just say I am not slagging off the Innotribe sessions at this year's Sibos. I love innovation. Whether it's the next hot thing or the next hot air - innovative ideas and technology gives us a glimpse at where the future is going and how our economy is evolving. However... The myriad of blogs and Tweets that inevitably follow a s...

One criticism of the digital age is that 'living online' so-to-speak, takes away from real interactions with living, breathing human beings. Well, without being ironic, Twitter was the ultimate catalyst for 'meets & greets' at Sibos this year. A whole slew of people I've never met, but knew on Twitter, came by and hung by the Finextra booth (I'...

You have to admit, the Innotribe sessions at Sibos 2010 had the vibe, energy, soundtrack and dialogues of Hollywood blockbusters this year. Good storylines, happy endings and one-liners that would put Sly and Arnie to shame. Anyway, if you haven’t been, here’s a summary. The most used word: “ubiquitous”, followed by “trust”, on par with “data”. T...

Interestingly, the cloud computing keynote and panel sessions at Sibos didn't approach cloud computing from an IT angle as it is often done but truly from a business perspective. Why are we interested in cloud computing in banking? Is it because of the economies of capital expenditure that we can achieve through virtualisation? Or is it because of...

There is the saying that ‘nobody likes change’ and in most cases you can attribute that to the fear of the unknown. Or, it is possible that people may just think that the old ways are better. I was shocked to learn from one of my colleagues that Deutsche Bank is not giving away toy cars at Sibos this year. Children of Sibos attendees across the g...

I’ve just attended the Sibos Webcast on social media, with the hope to listen some breaking announcement on the utilization of Social Media in the Banking industry. The discussion was a sort of déjà-vu of discussions from 15 years ago about the decision to have or not have a web site. What I haven’t heard during the discussion is that Social Med

As a key theme for Sibos, there is a lot of discussion about the impact of regulations, and the unexpected consequences that all too often accompany new rules. The BASEL III focus has been on ensuring banks are well funded to cope with problems that may occur in the market, with the particular focus on the failure of an entity involved in a transac...

David Divitt Senior Fraud Product Manager at VocaLink
Anyone who has worked in a bank, or has spent any length of time working with them, knows that technology silos are all too commonplace. Many banks have one system to process debit card payments, another for credit, a third for online banking, and the list goes on. The same applies for fraud prevention and detection, where many banks aren't yet ta...
