Customer Disservice ? Where Greed Is All Good
2012-02-03 01:05:00 Sathya Sai Baba, no differently to many other teachers in many traditions, inveighed against greed, anger, selfishness, and so on. This he did through constant harping in his discourses and interviews. There lacked imaginative, challenging and effective ways to transform society, which he had long said he would revolutionize within his own lifetime. He is dead. But then mere preaching is dead which fails to galvanise and transform. When I taught for two years in Sathya Sai Baba's Whitefield college (via Bangalore, South India), there was an almost utter dependence on rote learning. Nonetheless, I have always deeply appreciated that Sai Baba ensured that I was able to innovate, and that he and a small number of his senior staff protected what I was doing from certain 'education' neanderthals in that college. Not that the unregenerate staff members failed to produce results acceptable in Indian terms, which were much the legacy of Lord Macauley, no matter how much Sai Baba, fro...
Banks & Internet Companies Are Teaming Up Against Spam. Finally!
2012-01-30 12:59:00 Spammers are the party-poopers when it comes to the Internet. Yes, the web helps us in discovering new information, connecting with other people and increasing our productivity. This has been going for a long time since the advent of the Internet but no one has come close to removing this threat and annoyance from the web in its entirety. Cyber Criminals always seem to be one step ahead. Even Google has not yet perfected its algorithm to detect and filter spam which is why we still end up with some ‘Lottery Winner’ mail in my inbox. The cases of spam, e-mail scams, phishing and general online malpractices are on the rise in India and the world and for once everyone is concerned about it. Some of the biggest Internet companies are teaming up with banks and coming up with a new approach to battling spam online. Banks are involved in this because majority of these cyber-criminals pose fraudulently as banks when they are sending out their ‘phishing’ emails. A person’s bank a...

Banks Want To Completely Outsource ATMs. RBI Says Wait. Will It Help?
2011-12-29 09:42:00 Private Banks have re-initiated the bid to introduce completely outsourced ATM models in India. Banks’ earlier such proposal in 2006 was out rightly rejected by RBI. However, the fresh appeal should be accepted feels a key advisory committee of India’s finance ministry, chaired by DK Mittal. Further bad news is that the committee is also of the opinion that charges can be levied on all ATM transactions, irrespective of the type of ATM. What are these “Types” of ATMs? All Automated Teller Machines or ATMs are basically money dispensing machines which have a very secure linkage with the Bank’s accounting system. However they are segmented as per the operating procedures Banks adopt. So far, Banks have been forced to adopt the “Brown Label” method. In this method though most of the ATM-related operations are outsourced, banks are responsible for three core features: Putting cash in the machine, addressing customer grievances and branding at the ATM site. Currently, AGS T...

Central Banks Around the World Step In
2011-12-01 19:30:00 If you have an incurable disease, your only option may be to treat the symptoms and hope for the best. This seems to be the strategy underlying today’s coordinated central bank action. The U.S. Federal Reserve and five other central banks reduced their already-low overnight dollar swap rates to a near-microscopic level. The main beneficiaries are foreign banks, which have a new and cheaper source of short-term liquidity. A side effect is that the Fed is now lending dollars to non-U.S. banks at a lower rate than it makes cash available to domestic banks. This oddity will likely be resolved with a lower Discount Rate, probably within days. Such decisions are not made in a vacuum; recall what happened . . . → Read More: Central Banks Around the World Step In

Why Are Some Banks Eager to Grant a HAFA Short Sale?
2011-10-03 07:00:00 It might seem that you read a lot from agents who are complaining about Bank of America and AMS Loan Servicing as its processor for HAFA short sales. The thing is agents who are happy with short sales rarely write about those situations. It's much easier to point fingers, stamp feet and yell loudly when banks fail to live up to promises. I'm not saying that AMS does not deserve the bad press it gets. But I can also understand why the culture and structure of such corporate enterprises lends itself to disappointing performances. Much of it is pragmatic. The main criterion or measurement of success is whether the job was completed. The journey doesn't seem to matter much. In the end, there is a reason why banks want to do a HAFA short sale. More Articles by Elizabeth Weintraub: How to Do a Freddie Mac HAFA Short Sale Is the HAFA Short Sale Right For You?

2011-09-29 03:32:00 Risk on, then off, then on... Stocks surged Tuesday but gave back half of their gains in the final hour following reports of a split in the eurozone over terms of the next Greece bailout (more below). Treasury prices continued their slide, sending 10-year yields back to 2%. It was risk-on in commodities, as gold and oil rose sharply. Shaking off early weakness, futures point to a strong open.Troika audit to decide Greek fate. Greece faces a new test today as troika auditors head for Athens, which could lead to parts of Greece's ?109B rescue being reopened: "We have to wait and see what the troika finds," German Chancellor Merkel said, "it will tell us (whether) we will have to renegotiate or not." Greece's second bailout would impose a 21% loss on private bondholders, but many economists believe a 50% loss is necessary to make the country's debt viable. The FT reported yesterday that seven eurozone states are demanding private creditors take a bigger haircut on Gree...
