With SEPA, e-invoicing, mobile and other payment services all gaining intense invesmtent and focus during the past year or so, the challenge for a bank is where to focus once the basic pan-European payment infrastructure is in place. In other words, once SEPA's systems are in play, we can get on to the more interesting, more value-creating higher layers of payments and finance that leverage the underlying investment. What are those new products and services? How will they operate and who will be taking advantage? Michael Salmony, Member of the European Payments Council on e- and m- payments, and Member of the European Commission Steering Committee on e-Invoicing, takes a look.
Last year, at one of our most popular Club meetings, Tim outlined Wells Fargo�s experiences with Web 2.0, social networks and virtual worlds. Eighteen months later, Wells Fargo has transformed even further and is in process to become an American powerhouse if their acquisition of Wachovia succeeds. Therefore, in what will prove to be a fascinating update, Tim tells us more of their online world experiences and where things go from here.
In a world where credit has disappeared, and a market where credit has caused a crisis that has almost blown the banking system apart, what is the future for credit? Trevor Williams is the Chief Economist of Lloyds TSB Corporate. The Corporate Markets economics team supports the bank�s trading and sales activities, speaking to its clients and those of the Corporate Bank directly and indirectly through its many publications (daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly) and delivering seminars/presentations.
Trevor writes for various publications including Moneyfacts, City AM, the Express newspaper, Real Finance and trade journals. He regularly appears on radio and TV to represent the economic views of the bank, and to be interviewed on current economic issues. He is a member of the Shadow Monetary Policy Committee. The Shadow MPC is an elite group of independent leading monetary economists and from June, Trevor was voted in to become one of the nine voting members, and one of only four City-based members, with the remaining being academics.
Commissioner McCreevy has placed the blame for the credit crater at transparency’s doorstep. We at the CMC ask, "Is this fair?"
This will be a challenging debate about whether the European business landscape will ever be transparent and whether the efforts that leading technology and data professionals are making to fix the key issues are sufficient. Decide for yourself whether this house is right or not.
Participants will hear experts propose and discuss the motions for and against under The Chatham House Rule, then get to express their own views by voting on the key points:
The UK Government is a major player in the UK Marketplace and this is an opportunity to receive an update on their major initiatives in this space.
