Big Banks Can't Match the Benefit of Customized Financing at Advantage Capital Business Loans
PR Newswire - Thu May 08, 12:56PM CDT
As any small business professional is well aware, there's no such thing as easy business loans from large banks and traditional lenders. In recent years, the hostile climate for small business loans has finally begun to improve, as is evidenced by a recent announcement that Wells Fargo will begin a new initiative that is dedicated specifically to small business lending. However, intelligent and experienced professionals will likely recognize that big banks like Wells Fargo are always focused on the bottom line, and any program they offer is certain to benefit the lender to a far greater extent than the recipient. The fact remains; there is still no lender as effective at providing valuable lending as Advantage Capital Business Loans for bad credit-holders and other ambitious professionals seeking to grow their companies for long-term sustainability and success.

Banks have redefined branch banking following the financial crisis in order to maintain operational efficiency and to improve overall financial performance
M2 - Thu May 08, 6:52AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/pg2jbn/2020_foresight) has announced the addition of the "Banks have redefined branch banking following the financial crisis in order to maintain operational efficiency and to improve overall financial performance" report to their offering. The number of ATMs deployed in key countries increased during the review period (2008-2012), making them the most widely-used self-service banking model. In the US, the total number of ATMs increased from 425,010 in 2008 to 444,872 in 2012. The adoption of new technology enables banks to upgrade their branch banking models with advanced banking features and to distinguish themselves from competitors. Such features include biometric ATMs for secure banking transactions and contactless ATMs for faster transactions. Furthermore, the use of videoconferencing in ATMs enables interaction with bank employees for banking assistance. Retail banks around the world seek to expand their business footprints in unbanked and under-banked areas to target new customers and gain market share. However, the establishment of full-service branches is not always feasible for banks due to the costs associated with it, driving banks to adopt the self-service branch banking model to remain cost-effective. Banks set up these types of branches in remote locations and at places with high customer footfall such as stadiums, shopping malls, railway stations and marketplaces. The penetration of self-service branches has increased as banks are more reliant on offering quality service and enhanced customer experiences through facilities in these branches such as automated self-service kiosks, flagship branches, contact-less ATMs and in-store self-service branches. Key Topics Covered: 1 Executive Summary 2 Global Snapshot on Self-Service Branch Banking 3 Self-Service Branch Banking Models 4 Emerging Trends and their Impact Assessments 5 Implementation Strategies and Case Examples 6 Appendix Companies Mentioned: - Absa Bank - Banco Bradesco - China Minsheng Banking Corporation - Development Bank of Singapore - JP Morgan Chase - La Caixa - Royal Bank of Canada - Royal Bank of Scotland - UniCredit - Wells Fargo For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/pg..._foresight
Mortgage Market Trends in the US, UK, Ireland and Australia 2014-2018
M2 - Thu May 08, 5:08AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/t6d692/insight_report) has announced the addition of the "Insight Report: Mortgage Market Trends in the US, UK, Ireland and Australia" report to their offering. The value of outstanding mortgages in 2013 was at around US$1.98 trillion The subprime mortgage crisis of 2008 severely impacted numerous world economies. Reckless lending practices by banks and rising house prices led to an increasing number of foreclosures in mortgage markets around the world. While economies such as the US and UK have shown signs of improvement in the overall mortgage market, Ireland has recorded a negative trend in the mortgage market as its economy continues to struggle. Australia, on the other hand, remained resilient and was less impacted by the crisis, supported by strong banking and consumer protection regulations in the country. The US mortgage market has shown signs of recovery following the financial crisis, supported by strong regulatory measures and an economic stimulus package by the Federal Reserve. GDP growth, increased consumer spending and falling unemployment have also contributed to the mortgage market's recovery. In terms of outstanding mortgages value, the overall US mortgage market reached US$13.2 trillion in 2013, with annual growth recovering from -4.4% in 2009 to just -0.08% in 2013. Delinquencies and foreclosures in the mortgage market have improved since 2009: delinquencies improved from 4.6% in 2009 to 2.4% in 2013, while the number of foreclosures fell from 3.5 million to 1.7 million. The improved housing market and enforcement of stringent regulatory measures are expected to result in positive growth in the overall mortgage market over 2014-2018. The UK mortgage market is showing signs of improvement, but downside risks emanating from the European sovereign debt crisis remain a key concern. The UK's economy is showing signs of improvement, although growth remains sluggish. Nevertheless, positive economic growth and the implementation of strict regulations are helping to curb the effects of the global financial crisis. There has been substantial growth in the number of mortgages lent over the years, following the European debt crisis. The introduction of new mortgages is made available for the Muslim population of the country. First time buyer and buy-to-let are the most preferred mortgages among borrowers in the UK market. Improvements in the job market among the young population increased demand for first-time-buyer mortgages.
