Advantages of Banking

Bank is a financial institution whose primary activity is to act as a payment agents for customers, and to borrow, lend, and, in all modern banking systems, create money. The banking industry is a highly regulated industry with detailed and focused regulators.

Banks safeguards the money and valuables of the people. They also provide loans, credit and payment services like checking accounts, paying cheques drawn by customers on the bank, and collecting cheques deposited to customer’s current account. Banks also enable payments method like telegraphic transfer and ATM.

Banks provide a valuable service above and beyond just our basic banking accounts, and our economy would not be able to function correctly without them. Banks charge some nominal fee with the every service they provided to their customers. Banks are widely available at each and every place, and they are the first option that comes to mind when dealing with finances. But due to extensive use of internet the scenario is getting changed.

Now a day’s online banking is getting very popular. Online banking makes things extremely convenient for people and saves their precious time. It allows you to quickly manage your bank account and see where your balance is. Reputed banks have introduced their sites which are strictly devoted to explaining the measures they employ to protect you and your bank account from internet hackers.

Job in Banking — is Yours at Risk?

Job in Banking — is Yours at Risk?

Even if you are an unpaid banking intern, consider your job in the banking industry of being under risk. There are very few businesses that will be immune in the world wide economic recession and banking jobs sure aren’t going to be one of them. According to the financial research form Celent, there will be at least 200,000 layoffs of banking jobs from September 2008 until June 2009.

What Jobs Are Affected?

Since jobs in banking covers such a vast territory in the financial landscape, let’s look at what the economic experts are predicting to be the banking jobs most at risk:

- Anything to do with real estate. It’s not only the homeowners who are hurting – it’s also brokers, banks that hold the mortgages and anyone who works in TIC (tenant in common) investing or helping clients to invest in real estate. – Investment bankers in general – Loan processors (especially if the banks continue to freeze credit) – Bank tellers. If no one has any money to use a bank, then there’s no need to keep more than one teller line open on a business day.

Unless you are in higher management of are the CEO of a bank, consider your job at risk. Be sure that you have your resume updated, your references updated and put off any major purchase until after June 2009. You need to do this if you are looking for graduate banking jobs or are a branch manager.

What About The Wall Street Bailout?

Although Wall Street executives and the Bush administration pledged over 0 to banks and major financial firms to keep them from going under, they did so with hardly any strings attached and no guarantee to stop any layoffs. Two months after the huge bailout, banks in America are holding onto the money rather than letting it go to give credit to struggling American businesses. There have also been reports that bank executives have pocketed the some of the money and do not plan on any major reconstruction whatsoever – except for laying of many lower-rung banking jobs.

And not all big American banks and investment firms benefited from the bailout. Although business like AIG and Bank of America received blank checks, investment firm Lehman Brothers was allowed to go bankrupt with debts of over 3 billion. Clearly, even if you know your company got some Congressional cash, it doesn’t mean your job is secure.

If you are a banking intern, get a paying job to cover the bills and ride the tide of the economic tsunami until things settle down again. Although you may be constantly reassured that good interns get good jobs at the company you’ve interned for, don’t believe it. They’re just trying to get as much unpaid work out of you as they can. They have no intention of paying you.

Jobs that are expected to ride out the economic recession include service jobs, jobs in the health care industry and freelancing.

what legilation did the Deomcrats passed that forced bank to give loans to people that could not afford them?

Question by Mr. Wolf ©: what legilation did the Deomcrats passed that forced bank to give loans to people that could not afford them?
On another question I saw that claim multiple times. All legislation passed or voted on is listed on sites like the Library of Congress Thomas or Govtrak.us so if there is one it is easy to find.

what will it be?
a straight answer, rhetoric or deflection

Best answer:

Answer by Welcome to Costco I love you
There is no such legislation. There is legislation which encourages that banks loan to people with “less than stellar credit” and to minorities.

BANKS are solely responsible for doing the verification of income, employment history, etc.

During the Bush Regime, we saw the phenomenon of bundling sub-prime mortgages together and selling them as “securities” — skyrocket and explode.

I really get a kick out of the people trying to pin the economic meltdown on “subprime mortgages”.

Subprime mortgages have been around for over three decades, and the mortgage industry PIGS have made billions upon billions of PROFIT off of minorities, people of color, people who didn’t know any better, and people who were struggling with “iffy” credit.

But this past decade, people got reeeeeeally greedy. They wanted to make even MORE profit off of this really sweet deal called “subprime mortgages”. So they put lots of them together, and sold them and REsold them and REsold them and REsold them.

And lots of people made LOTS of money.

However…. when people started losing their jobs, and were unable to make those mortgage payments, we saw a hellacious ripple effect. What SHOULD have been a simple issue between the homeowner and the mortgage company became an issue many times over – because so many people had their fingers in the pie.

Greed and no regulation or transparency in the banking industry is WHOLLY responsible for the meltdown.

The Outsourcing Potential Growth In The Indian Banking Industry – Bharatbook

The Outsourcing Potential Growth In The Indian Banking Industry – Bharatbook

Outsourcing in the Indian Banking Industry For Indian Customers Report ( http://www.bharatbook.com/Market-Research-Reports/Outsourcing-in-the-Indian-Banking-Industry-For-Indian-Customers.html ) elucidates about Indian Banking Indian Industry and its Outsourcing services.

The Indian banking industry is witnessing robust growth under the influence of a changing regulatory environment, rapid technological advancements, heightened competition and consolidation. This changing landscape in the banking industry is driving banks to explore the outsourcing option to achieve efficiencies.

Apart from the growth in the industry, centralization and penetration of IT systems, need to focus on core services, rapid scale up and introduction of new services are driving outsourcing in this industry.

Outsourcing revenues from the Indian banking industry are estimated at Rs. 4 b for FY08 and are expected to grow at a CAGR of 47% to touch Rs. 19 b by FY12. According to Arun Jethmalani, CEO, “The outsourcing potential in the Indian banking industry will increase rapidly as banks strengthen their IT systems. Large international BPOs with their experience of serving global banks and an end-to-end services portfolio are better poised to capture this market in the long term.”

The vendor landscape has over 50 large and small vendors. Large BPOs like WNS and Genpact traditionally catering to the international market are focusing on building their domestic BPO divisions. We have classified the vendor landscape in the domestic banking BPO into four categories:

* International leaders (established BPO vendors with strong presence in international BPO market like MphasiS)

* India leaders (primarily focused on domestic market like Aegis, InfoVision and Omnia BPO)

* Emerging companies (companies building capabilities and currently offering specialized services on a small scale like Caretel, vCustomer)

* ‘Me-too’ players (offering undifferentiated low value services)

In the absence of cost arbitrage, creating value from outsourcing will be a critical challenge in the domestic BPO. Building and maintaining meaningful differentiators will be critical to growth and profitability. Says Pranav Dixit, analyst and co-author of the report, “With high growth in this space, international multi-service BPOs will leverage on the expertise gained from global banks to garner business from Indian banks.” Large scale multi-city operations, partnerships, ability to quickly ramp up operations while maintaining quality and developing advisory capabilities will be key success factors for outsourcing vendors focused on the banking industry. According to Neeraja Kandala, analyst “With further de-regulation in the banking industry and entry of several new private and foreign banks, the addressable market for banking BPO is expected to grow to 10 times the current revenues.”

This report provides an in-depth analysis of the buyer as well as the vendor landscape. This study is based on extensive interviews with banks as well as vendors. The report is designed to help:

* Banks looking to outsource their services
* Existing vendors to assess the competitive environment in India

* Other potential vendors to assess opportunities in India

* Venture capital companies looking for investment opportunities in BPOs

* Researchers looking for information on domestic BPO industry

The Global Banking Industry

The Banking Industry

Through the introduction of the banking industry, all transactions and financial services have been completely revolutionized over the years. The developments made in banking services are at the consumer’s disposal at all times, anywhere and at anytime. The banking industry is mainly about most of the banking related services gaining more an more access, like verifying account details, going with transactions, etc.The banker is defined as a person who carries on the business of banking, namely conducting current accounts for customers; paying checks drawn on him, and also collecting checks for customers.
In today’s society online services have also developed and are now available to all customers of a particular bank, as the information can also be accessed as long as you have a computer and an internet connection, thanks to nowadays, online Banking facilities, the majority of banks are making use of.

Banks conduct checking on current accounts for their customers, paying checks withdrawn by customers, or collecting checks deposited to customers’ accounts. At the same time, banks also make possible customer payments through other payment methods such as telegraphic transfer or ATM.

Also, by accepting funds deposited on accounts, they borrow money with term deposits and issue debt securities such as banknotes and bonds; also by making installment loans, and investing in marketable debt securities, they lend money.

Almost all payment services are conducted throughout banks. The majority of businesses, as well as individuals and governments now see bank accounts as indispensable. Unquestionably, bank stocks are among the hardest one to be analyzes. Millions of dollars are held by banks with subsidiaries in a variety of industries.

Banks as well as financial institutions have become important landmark in all our economic sectors for a few reasons. Not only to they transfer money, but they also transfer risk, providing liquidity and facilitating major together with minor transactions while giving financial information to individuals and businesses.

There is one great distinction that an act to separate banking industry from other types of business, and that is the government’s involvement in its doings. The government, while setting restrictions on the how much one can borrow, and the amount of deposits a bank has to hold in the vault, the government, or more specifically the Federal Reserve largely influences the bank’s profitability.

Aside from the timesaving benefits obtained from using an Internet bank, the whole process of visiting a bank can be tedious.

Hence, you can opt to use an Internet bank in order to avoid the hassle involved with paying your bank a visit. If you find that you have a busy working schedule or you simply do not find it convenient to visit your bank, then you might want to consider an Internet bank.
