  • Can Technology Serve as a Positive Disruptive Force in Banking?

    Bank Systems & Technology

    The banking industry -- especially retail consumer banking -- has not experienced any significant disruption from technology. It can be argued that the last major disruptive force in the banking industry was the ATM, which is roughly 50 years old. The Internet, which in that same period has turned many industries topsy-turvy, has had a minimal impact on retail banking. For example, many banks have not fully embraced mobile banking with robust solutions that meet the lifestyles of their…
