Book excerpt: Excerpt from Banking in Australasia: From a London Official's Point of View, With Some Remarks on Mortgage and Finance Companies The use of the word "debenture" in a pamphlet recently published by another bank officer and myself having given rise to considerable misapprehension, it was necessary to give some explanation, and the present form has been adopted. In justice to my co-pamphleteer I ought to add that he was unwilling that the word "debenture" should appear without explanation; but brevity being of importance in a pamphlet, it was not thought necessary to explain a matter, which, from the writer's point of view, admitted of no construction other than that he intended it should bear. Although from its comparatively modem growth the details of Australian banking history are familiar to us, there are not a few incidents which have passed out of recollection. A case in point is the Royal Bank of Australia, and its remarkable chairman, Mr. Benjamin Boyd, a sketch of whose career is given in the concluding chapter of this work. The Bank of Queensland, Limited, also, though of more recent date, has well nigh faded into oblivion. It is hoped that the brief historical accounts of the various banks, which have been carefully compiled from authoritative sources, will be useful and interesting, and perhaps instructive, to those connected with Australian commerce. No attempt has hitherto been made to bring into a tangible form the history of the Australian banks. Indeed, beyond two papers read before two of the learned societies, Australian banking literature may be said to have no existence whatever.

Excerpt: ... rather to obtain an advance from his banker and realise in London. The selling of his wool is purely a commercial transaction, and if the grower sees fit to run the risk of securing a better result by selling in London, it is unjustifiable on the part of the merchant to attempt to dictate to him to sell it in the colony. Of course, houses who advance on wool shipped to London, in such transactions are simply acting as private bankers. We shall now enquire whether the grower of wool is likely to suffer by placing his produce in the hands of his bankers. How Do Advances By Banks On Wool Shipped To London AFFECT THE SQUATTER. It is necessary to see whether the grower's interest will be sufficiently protected by this course, or whether he would secure a better market for his wool by placing it in the hands of some of those firms who advertise that they are prepared to make "liberal advances on wool consigned to their London houses for sale." The simplest plan by which to arrive at a satisfactory solution of the question, will be to follow the wool from the time the shipping documents are handed to the bank in the colonies, until it passes the hammer in Coleman Street. If anything arises on the voyage to cause a claim under the Insurance Policies, it is self-evident that the claim can be attended to as well by a banker as by a merchant. It is not necessary to inquire into the mysteries of General Average and Particular Average; it is part of the training of a clerk who has to handle document bills, to get some knowledge of insurance, but it is the business of the professional average stater to make up all claims, and it may safely be said that Particular Average is a question too subtle to be thoroughly grasped in all its details by...

Book excerpt: The Global Financial Crisis made its first appearance in Britain towards the end of 2007 with the failure of the Northern Rock Bank. It then reached an unparalleled intensity a year later when the government was forced to intervene to prevent the collapse of Lloyds/HBOS and RBS/Natwest. Before these events the British banking system possessed a long established reputation for resilience and competence that made it one of the most admired and trusted in the world. The financial crisis of 2007/8, and the subsequent revelations about the behaviour of bankers, destroyed that reputation and drove a desire for a complete reform of the British banking system. Forgotten in this headlong rush towards radical restructuring were the reasons why the British banking system had become so admired and trusted. The aim of this book is to explain why the British banking system gained its reputation for resilience and competence, maintained it for over 100 years, and then lost it in such a rapid and spectacular fashion. To achieve that aim requires a study of the entire banking system. Banks are key components of a complex financial system continually interacting with each other, and constantly changing over time, This makes the conventional distinctions drawn between different types of banks, including those specialising in international finance, savings and loans, corporate lending, and retail deposits and borrowing, inappropriate for any long-term analysis. The distinctions between different types of banks were neither absolute nor permanent but relative and temporary. Banks were also central to both the payments system and the money market without which no modern economy could function. What this book is about is the development of the British banking system as a whole over more than three centuries. Only with such an understanding is it possible to appreciate what the British banking system achieved and then maintained from the middle of the 19th century onwards, why it was lost in such a short space of time, and what needs to be done to return it to the position it once occupied. Without such an understanding the mistakes of the recent past are destined to be repeated time and gain.
Download or read book Banking Regulation of UK and US Financial Markets written by Dalvinder Singh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dalvinder Singh provides an interdisciplinary analysis of the legal aspects of prudential supervision. This gives the reader a broader understanding of the core processes of banking supervision. By using the UK as a case study, a comparison is made with the US to illustrate the different ways of approaching the issues. The author examines the legal as well as the theoretical, economic, political and policy issues that underpin the purpose of prudential supervision, such as corporate governance, enforcement sanctions, the role of external auditors and accountability of financial regulators. These are considered in the context of broad-policy considerations which render prudential supervision necessary, namely financial stability and depositor protection. The book will be of interest to academics, policymakers, regulators and practitioners, and equally will serve specialist undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in law, management and economics which focus on financial regulation.
