Banks scrambling to serve tablet users

AMAZON/

Devin Davis wanted to use his tablet for his online banking. But after one too many botched transfers from account to account — because of the imprecision of using the touchscreen without an application designed for the tablet — he went back to his laptop.

“I found myself going to my computer because it was faster, easier and more exact,” the Oakland, California resident says. Then a new app came out. Now, he says, the experience is far better.

With the success of Amazon’s new Kindle Fire tablet on the heels of Apple’s pioneering iPad, the growing number of tablet users like Davis who want to do their banking on the device are likely to notice something lacking in the experience.

Of the nation’s biggest banks, only 30 percent offer a tablet-specific app, says Mary Monahan, the head of mobile devices research at Javelin Research & Strategies. And that’s just for iPad users. So far, none of the banks have a specific application for iPad’s Android-based competitors that are gobbling up market share, including Kindle Fire.

For tablet junkies, that means an often frustrating experience. They can either do their online banking through the less-visual mobile portal or through the less-functional website.

Monahan says banks need to serve this space because of demand from tech-savvy consumers. “It’s going to revolutionize banking in the same way the smartphone did. The banks have to be ready for this,” she says. And there are signs that many will be be moving there within the next year. Software developers hired by financial institutions say they are under pressure to quickly put their clients into the tablet marketplace.

Big banks currently offering iPad apps include Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Citibank and USAA. Bank of America officials say they’ve tried to stay at the front of the pack when it comes to mobile applications. “It is about providing our customers with a safe and secure way to bank while at the same time providing them with convenience, choice and flexibility,” says Marc Warshawsky, a mobile channel executive for Bank of America.

Being something of a cross between computers and smartphones, tablets benefit greatly from applications being written specifically for them so users can easily move through touchscreen menus.

“It’s an entirely new kind of device, and needs a new type of user experience to go with it,” says Carl Tsukahara, vice president of Clairmail, which designs mobile programs for banks. “It can’t be smartphone banking, but bigger, and it can’t be a shrunken version of online banking.”

Already, Monahan says, 8 percent of consumers have tablets and this holiday shopping season is sure to grow that figure significantly. “There are going to be a lot of Kindle Fires under Christmas trees this year,” she says.

One of the main differences with tablets vs. smartphones when it comes to banking is the time users have. Tablet users are more likely to be at home. They tend to be less rushed and expect a richer visual experience.

“We’re seeing the opportunity coming alive right before our eyes,” says John Flora, director of product management for mobile for Intuit Financial Services. “The demand for it is very high. We have a backlog of customers were are working on.”

There are no real limitations for tablet usage, Flora says. It’s just a matter of designing the applications to take advantage of all that the tablet can deliver. “They’re going to become part of everyone’s everyday life,” he says.

Life credits put a price tag on experience, help older workers

USA/

Jeff Gentz, a pilot for United Parcel Service, wanted to get his college diploma if he was going to keep lecturing his teenage daughter about the importance of a university degree.

So Gentz, a 42-year-old father of four in Neenah, Wisconsin, joined a growing number of mid-career students who are seizing new opportunities from universities and employers to receive college credit for their experience outside the classroom.

The Obama administration is pressuring universities to offer more help to these adult students in order to boost graduation rates and to improve the quality of the nation’s workforce amid persistently high unemployment. More schools are embracing these “life credits” for competitive reasons, too, since adult students are projected to make up a growing share of undergraduate enrollment in the coming years.

The number of colleges that award credit for life experience has increased 35 percent since 2004 to more than 2,000 schools last year, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.

And a growing number of employers, such as Verizon and Starbucks, are offering to pay for workers’ prior learning assessments in order to make their tuition reimbursement dollars go further.

“This saves students time and money, and it allows employers to save money by not having to pay for courses their workers don’t need,” says Mark Campbell, vice president of learningcounts.org, a credit-advisory site launched by the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL) in March.

The idea of getting college credit from prior learning has been around since the 1970s, and it’s a staple at many community colleges, state universities and for-profit schools. Still, only half of colleges offer some form of prior-learning assessment, according to CAEL, and many of those are limited to certain programs or difficult to access.

These life credits cover a wide range of work experience, corporate training, military service, volunteer activities and even travel. Many programs require students to compile lengthy portfolios, including essays on what they learned, letters from bosses and co-workers and other supporting documentation that professors then evaluate. Students should do their homework on prior learning because rules and procedures vary widely as do the costs involved. And keep in mind there’s no guarantee a school will grant these credits even if students assemble the evidence.

The first step is to contact a specific college to see what type of assessment they provide. For instance, LaGuardia Community College, part of the City University of New York, offers a one-credit, 13-week course on how to build a portfolio that costs $150. It’s no additional cost to submit a portfolio for evaluation for students already enrolled. At the University of Wisconsin in Superior, students are charged $350 for a similar, one-credit class and they pay $75 for every three credits that are requested. source: www.reuters.com/finance/personal-finance

Vulture funds scour Greek opportunities

Distressed debt funds are building up blocks of Greek government bonds with an eye to holding out against, and ultimately profiting from, a restructuring of Greece’s debt.

So-called “vulture funds” have had success in holding out against past sovereign restructurings, including those carried out by Argentina and Peru. Now, as negotiations have intensified in recent weeks over the private sector’s offer to restructure Greek debt voluntarily, some funds are once again preparing to cash in on a major sovereign debt exchange.

“There have definitely been some distressed funds expressing interest in buying significant portfolios of Greek bonds at a high discount. It seems for now there is not much trading, though, because the bid price is low compared with the price where sellers would be willing to get rid of their position,” said a head of rates trading at a European bank.

Funds thought to be active in scooping up GGBs include Elliot Associates – which successfully held out on Argentina’s and Peru’s sovereign restructurings – and Fir Tree Partners, which has become embroiled in a dispute over restructuring of Irish bank debt. Neither firm responded to requests for comment.

Market-makers said GGB trades that had gone through had often been executed in periods when the market became particularly distressed and prices dipped.

“I’ve seen a lot of buying in Greek bonds in the past few weeks. When stuff starts trading at 30 cents on the euro, people are looking to get involved. The market is very illiquid though, so it takes time to build up a large stake,” said a head of European rates at a major bank.

BLOCKING STAKE

Traders declined to reveal exactly which series of GGBs were being targeted by potential hold-outs, but certain issues look likely to have been targeted. If a Greek restructuring followed the pattern of the recent restructuring of Irish bank debt and a coercive tender was put forward, 75 percent of holders of any particular series of bonds would need to accept the haircut in order to bind all holders to the agreement.

If an investor wanted to block a tender, it would therefore look to accumulate more than 25 percent of a given series of bonds, according to Steven Friel, a litigator with law firm Brown Rudnick, which specializes in representing funds in these types of cases and has been speaking to a number of parties interested in Greece.

It would also make sense for funds to target bonds governed by English law – a trend that some traders have observed. These tend to be the foreign-denominated bonds, which make up around 10 percent of Greece’s outstanding debt.

“If bonds are governed by Greek law, it’s going to be easier for Greek legislature to pass a law that simply amends the bonds, which would be much more difficult to do for English law-governed bonds,” said Friel.

English law-governed GGBs have been trading at a premium in the market for a while now as a result of this apparent advantage; for instance, a June 2013 US dollar-denominated GGB trades 15 cents on the euro higher than comparable tenors of domestic GGBs. Foreign-denominated bonds also tend to be smaller issues, potentially making it easier for funds to build a blocking stake in them.

“There’s been a view for a while now that English law bonds trade differently to Greek law bonds as they’d be judged upon in UK courts,” said another senior rates trader at a European bank.

WIDE POOL OF SELLERS

There is potentially a wide pool of sellers of GGBs, and not only long-only investors such as asset managers. Following the original so-called PSI agreement in July, there was thought to be some pressure on European banks – which had to disclose their holdings to regulators – not to sell their Greek bonds. source:www.reuters.com/finance/personal-finance
