Book excerpt: Winner of best book by a foreign author (2019) at the Business Book of the Year Award organised by PwC Russia The future of banking is already here — are you ready? Bank 4.0 explores the radical transformation already taking place in banking, and follows it to its logical conclusion. What will banking look like in 30 years? 50 years? The world’s best banks have been forced to adapt to changing consumer behaviors; regulators are rethinking friction, licensing and regulation; Fintech start-ups and tech giants are redefining how banking fits in the daily life of consumers. To survive, banks are having to develop new capabilities, new jobs and new skills. The future of banking is not just about new thinking around value stores, payment and credit utility — it's embedded in voice-based smart assistants like Alexa and Siri and soon smart glasses which will guide you on daily spending and money decisions. The coming Bank 4.0 era is one where either your bank is embedded in your world via tech, or it no longer exists. In this final volume in Brett King's BANK series, we explore the future of banks amidst the evolution of technology and discover a revolution already at work. From re-engineered banking systems, to selfie-pay and self-driving cars, Bank 4.0 proves that we're not on Wall Street anymore. Bank 4.0 will help you: Understand the historical precedents that flag a fundamental rethinking in banking Discover low-friction, technology experiences that undermine the products we sell today Think through the evolution of identity, value and assets as cash and cards become obsolete Learn how Fintech and tech "disruptors" are using behaviour, psychology and technology to reshape the economics of banking Examine the ways in which blockchain, A.I., augmented reality and other leading-edge tech are the real building blocks of the future of banking systems If you look at individual technologies or startups disrupting the space, you might miss the biggest signposts to the future and you might also miss that most of we've learned about banking the last 700 years just isn't useful. When the biggest bank in the world isn't any of the names you'd expect, when branch networks are a burden not an asset, and when advice is the domain of Artificial Intelligence, we may very well have to start from scratch. Bank 4.0 takes you to a world where banking will be instant, smart and ubiquitous, and where you'll have to adapt faster than ever before just to survive. Welcome to the future.

Book The Invisible Hands of U S  Commercial Banking Reform

Download or read book The Invisible Hands of U S Commercial Banking Reform written by Margaret M. Polski and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a product of my commitment to developing both theory and practice in political economy. I first became interested in economic and institutional change in the commercial banking industry when I took a seminar on financial insti- tions led by Robert Glauber in the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University in the spring of 1995. In my experience, Bob is one of a handful of teachers who has the verve to challenge and inspire both esoteric and practical inquiry: the seminar grappled with practical business and policy problems in a way that posed a significant challenge to existing theories. In addition to dem- strating the need to better integrate theory and practice, it provided a perspective and an approach that I continue to find useful in research, consulting, and teaching. Conducting the research for this study has taught me many things about banking, regulation, and policy making, and I am grateful to a very large number of people for their assistance. Bob Glauber continues to be generous in discussing the ch- lenges of change in the financial services industry.

Book The Bankers    New Clothes

Download or read book The Bankers New Clothes written by Anat Admati and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2024-01-09 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, and Bloomberg Businessweek Book of the Year Why our banking system is broken—and what we must do to fix it New bank failures have been a rude awakening for everyone who believed that the banking industry was reformed after the Global Financial Crisis—and that we’d never again have to choose between massive bailouts and financial havoc. The Bankers’ New Clothes uncovers just how little things have changed—and why banks are still so dangerous. Writing in clear language that anyone can understand, Anat Admati and Martin Hellwig debunk the false and misleading claims of bankers, regulators, politicians, academics, and others who oppose effective reform, and they explain how the banking system can be made safer and healthier. Thoroughly updated for a world where bank failures have made a dramatic return, this acclaimed and important book now features a new preface and four new chapters that expose the shortcomings of current policies and reveal how the dominance of banking even presents dangers to the rule of law and democracy itself.

Book Slapped by the Invisible Hand

Download or read book Slapped by the Invisible Hand written by Gary B. Gorton and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-03-08 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally written for a conference of the Federal Reserve, Gary Gorton's "The Panic of 2007" garnered enormous attention and is considered by many to be the most convincing take on the recent economic meltdown. Now, in Slapped by the Invisible Hand, Gorton builds upon this seminal work, explaining how the securitized-banking system, the nexus of financial markets and instruments unknown to most people, stands at the heart of the financial crisis. Gorton shows that the Panic of 2007 was not so different from the Panics of 1907 or of 1893, except that, in 2007, most people had never heard of the markets that were involved, didn't know how they worked, or what their purposes were. Terms like subprime mortgage, asset-backed commercial paper conduit, structured investment vehicle, credit derivative, securitization, or repo market were meaningless. In this superb volume, Gorton makes all of this crystal clear. He shows that the securitized banking system is, in fact, a real banking system, allowing institutional investors and firms to make enormous, short-term deposits. But as any banking system, it was vulnerable to a panic. Indeed the events starting in August 2007 can best be understood not as a retail panic involving individuals, but as a wholesale panic involving institutions, where large financial firms "ran" on other financial firms, making the system insolvent. An authority on banking panics, Gorton is the ideal person to explain the financial calamity of 2007. Indeed, as the crisis unfolded, he was working inside an institution that played a central role in the collapse. Thus, this book presents the unparalleled and invaluable perspective of a top scholar who was also a key insider.

Download or read book Intelligent Money written by Chris Skinner and published by Marshall Cavendish International Asia Pte Ltd. This book was released on 2024-03-01 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHO cares about the money of the future? WHY should I care about money of the future? This book explains and shows that, by 2030, as money becomes digital, it will revolutionise everything. Digital money will make money personal; individualise currency and its usage; secure it; enable it to automatically grow to meet our personal goals; manage risk automatically; and make life simpler and easier for all. The most critical aspect of this book is HOW money becomes intelligent … digitally … and artificially. For over ten years, liberterians have said that bitcoin will be the currency of Planet Earth. Chris Skinner has always argued that you cannot have money without government. Who is right? For over ten years, libertarians have accused people like Chris of being a Statist – someone who support national government states in implementing law – and saying he is wrong. What they didn't ask is: who is the government? Is the government the State or the network? This issue has been at the heart of a debate for over ten years, and may finally be coming to some resolution thanks to the collapse of FTX, Celsius, ThreeArrows, Terra-Luna and many other cryptocurrency market trading platforms in the last years. The core of this argument is what is the future of money. Is it decentralised or centralised. Is it DeFi – decentralised finance – or CeFi – centralised finance? This book argues that it's HyFi or, in other words, hybrid finance. The future of money requires regulatory oversight but can operate in a decentralised form. Why? Because if you lose all of your money to a decentralised exchange, platform or currency, there needs to be a way to get it back.

Download or read book Bankless Banking written by Svetlana Baranov and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-02 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bankless Banking describes the changes that the banking sector is currently facing, and provides leads to accompany (or even pre-empt) the current mutation, rather than just endure it. Deliberately provocative, the title does not support the hypothesis that banking players are going to disappear, far from it. Rather, it pays particular attention to how technology will cause a fundamental shift in banks and banking, rendering them completely invisible to customers. This is the idea of "banks without banks". In this context, banks' competitiveness will depend on their ability to integrate their services into newly built value chains and thus best meet customers' needs.These changes will profoundly affect the foundations of the bank's internal model. In order to remain competitive in the contemporary business environment, the author identifies five key factors: technology, information management, strategy, organisation, and most importantly, people.
