...inesquecíveis, coisas inexplicáveis e pessoas incomparáveis" como vocês! Obrigado por tudo, Filipe Abstract The Retail Banking Industry has been severely affected by fraud over the past few years. Indeed, despite all the research and systems available, fraudsters have been able to outsmart and deceive the banks and their customers. With this in mind, we intend to introduce a novel and multi-purpose technology known as Stream Computing, as the basis for a Fraud Detection solution. Indeed, we believe that this architecture will stimulate research, and more importantly organizations, to invest in Analytics and Statistical Fraud-Scoring to be used in conjunction with the already in-place preventive techniques. Therefore, in this research we explore different strategies to build a Streambased Fraud Detection solution, using advanced Data Mining Algorithms and Statistical Analysis, and show how they lead to increased accuracy in the detection of fraud by at least 78% in our reference dataset. We also discuss how a combination of these strategies can be embedded in a Stream-based application to detect fraud in real-time. From this perspective, our experiments lead to an average processing time of 111,702ms per transaction, while strategies to further improve the performance are discussed.

...Retail Banking - Opportunities and Challenges Shyamala Gopinath* The issue of retail banking is extremely important and topical. Across the globe, retail lending has been a spectacular innovation in the commercial banking sector in recent years. The growth of retail lending, especially, in emerging economies, is attributable to the rapid advances in information technology, the evolving macroeconomic environment, financial market reform, and several micro-level demand and supply side factors. India too experienced a surge in retail banking. There are various pointers towards this. Retail loan is estimated to have accounted for nearly one-fifth of all bank credit. Housing sector is experiencing a boom in its credit. The retail loan market has decisively got transformed from a sellers’ market to a buyers’ market. Gone are the days where getting a retail loan was somewhat cumbersome. All these emphasise the momentum that retail banking is experiencing in the Indian economy in recent years. What is Retail Banking? Retail banking is, however, quite broad in nature - it refers to the dealing of commercial banks with individual customers, both on liabilities and assets sides of the balance sheet. Fixed, current / savings accounts on the liabilities side; and mortgages, loans (e.g., personal, housing, auto, and educational) on the assets side, are the more important of the products offered by banks. Related ancillary services include credit...

...BANKING IN INDIA Banking in India originated in the first decade of 18th century. The first banks were, The General Bank of India, which started in 1786, and Bank of Hindustan, both of which are now defunct. The oldest bank in existence in India is the State Bank of India, which originated in the "The Bank of Bengal" in Calcutta in June 1806. This was one of the three presidency banks, the other two being the Bank of Bombay and the Bank of Madras. The presidency banks were established under charters from the British East India Company. They merged in 1925 to form the Imperial Bank of India, which, upon India's independence, became the State Bank of India. For many years the Presidency banks acted as quasi-central banks, as did their successors. The Reserve Bank of India formally took on the responsibility of regulating the Indian banking sector from 1935. After India's independence in 1947, the Reserve Bank was nationalized and given broader powers. Early history The first fully Indian owned bank was the Allahabad Bank, established in 1865. However, at the end of late-18th century, there were hardly any banks in India in the modern sense of the term. The American Civil War stopped the supply of cotton to Lancashire from the Confederate States. Promoters opened banks to finance trading in Indian cotton. With large exposure to speculative ventures, most of the banks opened in India during that period failed. The depositors lost money and lost interest in keeping deposits...

... Introduction Over the last years, there has been a debate on whether commercial and investment banks should be separated or not. Especially after the crisis in 2007 when taxpayers had to pay billion in the US to bail out the banks, the need for a “ring fence” around retail banking operations became urgent. Universal banks use the retail deposit for their investment operations which engage great risks. When their investments fail, the states have to rescue them. These mega banks emerged after the Great Depression when such a mergence became possible mainly because of the deregulation of western financial services. However, if global capital markets agree in a ring fence or total separation, it is a procedure that will take place over a period of years. In this project a brief review of the debate that takes place around this matter will be presented, mainly by stating some of the ideas that are commonly discussed. The Glass-Steagall Act and how we got here Recently President Obama proposed the separation of investment and retail banks, as it is believed that they were the main reason of the last financial crisis that started in 2007. Avgouleas (2010) points out that the mega banks were created after 1990’s due to the deregulation of the financial industry and they engaged great risk in their investment activities as the deposits (that were used for these purposes) were guaranteed by the government. Benston, G.J. (1994) points out that these mega banks became so large,...

...Abstract The retail banking industry in the United States has undergone intense change due to regulation since 2008. Retail banks are continually looking for ways to set themselves apart from their competition, as well as retain and grow their customer base. Banks now understand the value of building relationships with their customers and that they need to provide excellent customer service to them as a means of profitability and survival. Understanding the factors behind customer service and its effect on customer loyalty is an important issue for the retail banking industry. This brings up the question “Does customer service influence customer loyalty?” With that question in mind, the following review acknowledges the importance of customer service to customer loyalty and also looks at what factors influence loyalty. The examination takes a look at service and its quality, and the overall effect it has on customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. The findings conclude a direct association among customer service, service quality, customer satisfaction and consumer bank loyalty. Introduction It is generally agreed that the top 3 constructs of building loyalty are: customer service, service quality, and customer satisfaction. This is especially true in people centric service businesses such as retail banking. In today’s competitive business environment many banks are focusing their efforts on having a loyal customer base. Thus, the question arises, “Does customer...

...Is it necessary to combine Investment Banking and Commercial Banking? Separation of Retail Banking and Investment Banking was a hot topic with President Obama’s proposal in January 2010 regarding a ban on US Banks on retail banks from using their own funds in investments and limiting to invest their customer’s funds. This news made many to wonder whether the world is going back to replace Glass Steagall Act which was abolished in 1999.(BBC,21January2010) Glass-Steagall Act(GSA)commonly known as Banking Act 1933 made the investment banks and Commercial Banks to function separately in order to refrain Commercial Banks from greater in securities business activities. This Act prohibited Commercial Banks to underwrite securities to public while it prohibited Investment Banks to accept deposits from customers. (Investopedia,2003). Many argue that commercial banks should not involve in securities(stock/bond)market investments as commercial banks divert funds in investment banking. In other words internal transparency of movements of funds not very clear when operating as a ‘Universal Bank’. Prior to 2007-2009 financial crisis Commercial Banks were greedily involved merely because of profits in securitization business where subprime mortgages were involved. During the rise in property market in 2006,banks created and traded in securitized assets, backed by subprime mortgages. Banks became greedy of making more money through SPV(Special Purpose Vehicle)taking high risks. When...

...Mountain Bank 1. Discuss the strategies that Mountain Bank should implement to achieve a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Changes are occurring in all organizations. Mountain Bank is no exception. Mountain Bank has a strong presence in retail banking and limited presence in the consumer lending, real estate and mortgage banking, and corporate banking lines. It is recognized that corporate banking is profitable. Since Mountain Bank has such a small presence in the corporate banking market, it has to position itself to communicate this business line to a new audience. To achieve a competitive advantage in the marketplace, Mountain Bank should implement the differentiation strategy. Mountain Bank will set itself apart from its competitors by offering a unique twist to its services. It may offer an added benefit to its customers who are already receiving the basic services. The employees at Mountain Bank hold the key to achieving the competitive edge. Mountain Bank’s employees would hold an advantage over their competitors as they tend to be cordial and highly skilled which makes customers feel trusting. A personal greeting such as “Good morning, Mr./Mrs. Jones” from the bank employees when customers enter for services would be a tremendous plus for the bank. Along with that greeting, employees would make the customers aware of the availability of the new services that the bank now offers and they are not yet taking advantage of. 2. Describe the types of practices...

...should follow this strategy because few organizations can successfully use the cost leadership strategy. One problem with a cost leadership strategy is usually only one organization can be the lowest-cost provider in any industry. The organization that is often successful at the cost leadership strategy is an organization that has a large share of the market (p. 48). Mountain Bank does not have a large share of the banking market. Mountain Bank is located in the northwest United States. According to current estimates Mountain Bank has about fifty percent of the market for retail banking, about twenty-five percent of consumer lending market, less than ten percent of the real estate and mortgage banking market, and less than five percent of the corporate banking market in its area (p. 69). ii. Another reason that Mountain Bank should follow this strategy is one of the best methods for achieving gains in the real estate banking and corporate banking is cross-selling. Cross-selling occurs when tellers and customer service representatives convince customers with retail accounts to open corporate accounts or to obtain home mortgages from Mountain Bank. Recent studies have found that bank tellers are critical to the success of Mountain Bank. One study found that customers’ experience with tellers is the single most important driver of customer satisfaction (p. 69). Mountain Bank should focus their area of differentiation on providing excellent customer service. They should emphasizing...
