Download or read book Integrating Europe s Retail Banking Market written by Stefanie Kleimeier and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report offers a comprehensive survey of recent empirical research on the state and development of retail banking integration in Europe. The authors, Stefanie Kleimeier and Harald Sander, document a broad consensus that retail banking integration is still limited, although it seems to have recently gained momentum. Kleimeier and Sander find, however, that there is less agreement on how to measure the phenomenon. They warn that the various types of integration measures should be interpreted with care, due to their shortcomings and in order to avoid jumping to the wrong policy conclusion. In their view, the recent acceleration in integration has been driven mostly by wholesale financial market integration and more general financial developments. The authors conclude that integration policies need to be supplemented by competition, financial development, and financial stability policies.
Download or read book European Retail Banks An Endangered Species written by Andreas R. Dombret and published by Wiley-VCH. This book was released on 2003-10-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's retail banking industry in Europe, the current situation is unsatisfactory: new technology standards have lowered the entry barriers and increased the reach of the various players within the industry. Market players face increased competition, margin pressure and low or even negative profitability. Banks face structural challenges (overbanked and a fragmented market, dominated by non-quoted banking institutions) as well as weak levels of customer loyalty putting pressure on banks to find winning strategies. Looking at the successes of "near- and non-bank" entrants, we start with the hypothesis that a superior sales capability lies at the root of increasing success and market penetration. Consequently, both production and infrastructure might become commodities, which the successful sales-focused players may want to outsource in the future. The consequence will be an increased technology-enabled specialization within the industry. The book analyzes the retail banking segment along its value chain and searches for success factors in each step. Additionally, we searches for possible new paradigms shaping the industry beyond the E-revolution. Examining benchmarks and best practices both within and outside the banking industry, we will challenge the traditional ways of doing business in each step of the value chain. Confronted with a pan European endgame situation and facing the danger of getting stuck in the middle between sales-oriented and technology-focused market players, today's banks will have to decide on their future business model, position themselves accordingly, and proactively develop respective core capabilities. New strategies incorporate not only internal changes, but also moves for external transformation. Alliances or M&A transactions offer the opportunity to successfully in- and/or outsource respective steps of the value chain and develop towards a focused and competitive market player . Hence, our report will discuss successful business models, transformation strategies, key success factors, transaction structures, and respective case studies. Only by positioning themselves carefully for the European retail banking endgame, retail banks will be able to improve their profitability and obtain a sustainable competitive advantage to survive in the future.

Download or read book A Day of Reckoning for European Retail Banking written by and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Europe's retail banks are now entering a period of regulatory reform that looks certain to put pressure on revenues, profits, and margins, and may alter these banks' core business models. McKinsey's latest research is described in Day of reckoning for European retail banking. We estimate that without any mitigating action by banks or material changes in the economic and competitive environment, recent global rules, especially Basel III and new regional and national regulations will help reduce retail banking's average return on equity (ROE) in Europe's four largest markets to 6 percent, from about 10 - a 41 percent decline. The analysis, based on 2010 financial-year data, assumes that the cumulative regulatory impact expected over the next several years will be realized immediately."--Extracted from McKinsey & Company website on 16 Aug 2012.
Download or read book Retail Banking written by A. Omarini and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-12 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world of retail banking is changing. While previously a purely money-making entity, the industry has brought social responsibility onto its agenda, and the ground rules for success have altered. Traditional convictions, rules and values that have influenced all banking business in the past are brought into question by this shift, and banks are adopting bold strategies in order to win out over competitors. Taking both multidisciplinary and holistic approaches, Retail Banking is a comprehensive analysis of how traditional retail banks can meet the challenges of the emerging competitive landscape. It outlines the importance of considering the traditional fundamentals of banking and fitting them into the modern times, where technology is pervasive and developments in the macro and micro scenarios have changed the landscape of the industry. It highlights that modern retail banking is a conscious step away from the past, and suggests that for banks to succeed in this field, they must step away from ad-hoc initiatives and instead encourage loyalty and a life-long confidence in each of their customers. This book will be of interest to those with in interest in retail banking, bank management, business models and strategies and financial services.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The retail banking sector has undergone immense change over the last decade, such that the industry is barely recognisable. The creation of the European Single Market has of necessity initiated deregulation, whilst the increase in telephone and internet banking has impacted on economies of scale. Financial services organisations are now able to compete in previously uncharted territory, to considerable effect. Taking the reader on a journey of discovery through the economic theory behind the practice and the consequences that follow, the authors have created a fascinating insight into the current state of European retail banking. The authors use their extensive research to display the rationale behind the increasing trend towards consolidation and efficiency. Well argued and well researched, this is a must read for all people with an interest in the European Banking market, from investors to bankers and students alike. "This outstanding contribution has everything a banking practitioner, academic or regulator would need to know about European banking, complete from theory to practice to data to background references. This is a must-have reference guide for anyone who wants or needs to know about our financial system." - Allen N. Berger, Senior Economist, Federal Reserve Board

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation. The regulation of network industries has emerged as a key issue on the European policy agenda, yet there is little high-quality research capable of informing the European policy debate. The Monitoring European Deregulation (MED) series was launched by CEPR and SNS in 1997 and features new, policy-oriented research on the liberalization of the European markets of the major network industries (previous reports have focused on telecommunications and electricity). Addressed to a wide audience of both academics and European decisionmakers in the private-sector and policy communities, at both the national and EU level, the new reportwhich focuses on the deregulation of the European banking systemwill play an important role in influencing current thinking on these issues and contributing to the policy debate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Introduction: Based on the findings of the correlation analysis described in chapter 7.1, factors of influence and variables statistically not related to financial B2C e-commerce can now be distinguished. While the focus of this part of the analysis lies on factors showing significant correlation coefficients in relation to the research topic, this does not mean that the non-correlated factors are not of importance or somewhat connected. The statistical measurements may not be suitable for this type of analysis, survey results may be misleading or the situation will have changed in the last two years after the investigation. On the other hand, the observed correlations do not necessarily equal a causal relationship and the high complex matter can not be explained by single variables as influence factors. The conducted correlation analysis only serves as an indicator for potential influence factors or accelerators and has to be carefully evaluated. Keeping these considerations in mind, the statistical analysis within the scope of this masters dissertation will support the following conclusions and interpretations. First of all, computer usage and skills as well as internet usage and skills need to be on a high level in a country to facilitate financial B2C e-commerce. Residents of countries with higher levels for the subject of examination will probably already have gained adequate skills, as indicated by a medium strong negative relation to computer courses taken in the last three months and other online activities such as online information search and online banking positively correlated. While online banking is partially included in the variable e_comm representing financial B2C e-commerce through customer s usage of online financial services, this particular result may not be totally conclusive. However, it seems logical that consumers with good computer and internet skills also spending a lot of time with advanced activities on the internet may also engage in financial B2C e-commerce. This assumption narrows down the target group and excludes a certain clientele from online product offers of financial institutions - banks will need to adapt their web portals accordingly, set up initiatives improving computer and web skills of their consumers and meet their consumers on the internet, e.g. with advertising while they are using search engines. Practical evidence supporting these interpretations can be found in several examples of [...]

This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The creation of the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) has accelerated the harmonization process of regulation and governance in Europe. However, the integration of fragmented retail banking markets still represents a difficult task for regulators. This book investigates the role of EU policy in creating a single market, addressing explicitly questions on the choice of policy measures to overcome barriers to integration persistent in these markets. Based on an analysis of different regulatory theories, the author develops a conceptual framework and illustrates its applicability to the case of the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) initiative. The fact that a single market has not yet evolved is less a sign of market or coordination failures than of government failures. The author concludes that, despite the political resistance from national interest groups, regulatory barriers need to be removed first to provide a level playing field for banks and a safe legal environment for consumers.
