FEDEX SCAM
2012-01-26 18:29:00 We were recently informed about a scam involving FedEx that's been making rounds and alerting watchdogs. The scheme involves getting a hold of a person's checking information and swiping $500 to open up a new FedEx account. Then there's another jux (possible supplement) that involves receiving an anonymous check for a large sum that's addressed to and from unknown parties. The goal is to entice the receiver to cash it so that it bounces and their account info gets snagged. Watch out for both!

Baltic Banking Crisis Widening; Bank Depositors Cashing Out!
2011-12-21 18:36:00 I’m reporting this week from the Eastern front of the euro-zone meltdown, where an unfolding banking and confidence crisis could be signs of far worse things to come. It’s hard to believe it was almost one year ago today, that here in Estonia, the small Baltic EU nation I call my second home, we accepted the euro as our primary currency. Twelve months ago the changeover from the kroon to the euro was heralded with enormous fanfare and celebration, and a great deal of hope and hype. Parades, festivals, PR campaigns, free euro coin holders were everywhere I turned. However, many people back then also had underlying fears of the change too. And it seems those fears . . . → Read More: Baltic Banking Crisis Widening; Bank Depositors Cashing Out!

SBI Initiates Mobile Banking For Rural Areas
2011-11-29 15:20:00 State Bank of India unveiled its mobile banking facility for the rural areas in India. This was inaugurated by SBI Managing Director Krishna Kumar as he passed on the “Bank on Wheels” vehicle to Meghalaya Rural Development Society at the Shillong SBI branch. This is another great leap in India that is moving towards empowering the rural areas in enjoying the benefits of mobile banking. This has been launched in order to reach out to those unbanked areas with the aim of educating people in financial awareness and encouraging banking habits. People in the village areas will now be able to take better financial decisions. Kumar said that 662 unbanked villages was the target given to SBI and almost 496 have already been covered. So no longer will village people have trouble in opening up bank accounts and this would also rule out the age old tradition of getting a certificate from village headman. Recently, UPA has announced a scheme to provide broadband connectivity throu...

The European Banking Crisis: Assessing the Damage and a Look Ahead
2011-10-31 20:07:00 In my letter earlier this week, our guest writer, Grant Williams, gave Europe about the same odds of escaping crisis as a pitcher throwing a perfect game in baseball. That’s 40,000 to 1. Take a look at this decision tree on Europe (below) from STRATFOR, a private intelligence company. Looks like they give Europe something more like the odds of a major-league pitcher leading in home runs. Not gonna happen. With a serious impending crisis on our hands, we need to understand it from all angles, starting with geopolitical risk.

If White Sox are really banking on the fans, that could be bad
2011-02-06 23:44:00 It's been pretty well-covered that White Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf's celebrated opening of the pocketbook came with a corresponding plea for an equally generous response from fans. "$130 million doesn't just get printed off in a secret room in the basement, you half-wits!" they seemed to plead. From "Talkin' Baseball" on ESPN 1000, and subsequently on espnchicago.com: "If we draw what we drew last year, we will lose a lot of money. We decided to make a bet that if we put this team together the way we have, that it'll contend and that people will come out and support it. Otherwise, we are definitely going to lose money. Fortunately over the years we've made a little here, we've made a little there and we can cover it if we lose. We won't be able to lose money two years in a row." -Jerry Reinsdorf Whoa, Jerry, that level of scary language is usually reserved for convincing people not to pour vodka in their eye.
Danks banking on a big year, Milledge desperately clawing for one
2011-02-06 01:49:00 What happens if two topics don't seem big enough to merit an entire post? Combine them into one shotgun-wedding of a post. For cogent analysis of the White Sox picking up 1st round bust OF Lastings Milledge, there's plenty to find from Jim Margalus, J.J. Stankevitz, and even David Golebiewski from FanGraphs. The theme for the Milledge signing is a common one for White Sox minor league deals; pick up a failed stud for dirt cheap, and take an essentially no-risk flier that the initial hype for him had some merit. It's the approach that brought in Matt Thornton, fellow failed Mets prospect Philip Humber, and even--albeit in a different way--Sergio Santos.
CHASE Bank Still Refuses To Meet With Community Banking Coalition Over Thei

Mobile Banking – Will It Be Ever Be Bigger Than E-banking?
2010-07-26 09:50:00 Mobile banking has been knocking on our doors since quite some time now. In India, one of the first entrants were BOKU, who along with Airtel, were one of the first to introduce mobile banking solutions to their customers which allowed them to make purchases on their favorite gaming, entertainment, and social networking websites. Then came a radical new mobile payment solution through Accells and mChek that showcased a revolutionary patent pending technology which can make contactless payments possible with the help of mobile phones. Then Citibank got into the game with a trial mobile banking project with Vodafone and Nokia. Syndicate Bank and Paymate entered and mobile banking world, followed by Nokia, who tied up with Obopay, to introduce Nokia Money to their customers who could use to pay merchants for goods and services, pay their utility bills, or recharge their prepaid SIM cards.

Banking Through Social Media – Is It Possible?
2010-05-28 15:29:00 Banks try to woo customers in every possible way. Hence, it was not surprising to see them enter into the social media space. But recently, Forrester came out with a report saying that 71% of people surveyed have little or no interest in accessing their bank accounts through social networking sites like facebook and myspace. Now, the main reason why this is so is because of one prime reason – fear. People are worried about hackers and privacy. Now this is a reasonable fear in today’s time as privacy is not one of the social networking sites’ forte. I had written about the privacy control of facebook here. Online banking, once thought to be not safe at all, is finding customers nowadays. People were skeptical about mobile banking too, though now, many have started using the service. All this doesn’t mean that banks should not use social media. In fact, banks are indeed using social media to connect to their customers. A survey found out that 20% of U.S. consu...
