ECB, Barclays, and RBS in banking this week
- ECB has warned British banks planning to relocate operations to another country in the EU before Brexit that it will not grant licences to ‘empty shells’. Sabine Lautenschlager, a senior regulator, also said banks were falling behind schedule in making preparations
- Barclays has launched SmartBusiness Dashboard, a tool that harnesses open data to allow SMEs to manage their own data all in one place. Barclays has collaborated with a number of app providers, including Office 365, Intuit QuickBooks and Twitter, to enable businesses to import their everyday business data and information into one dashboard within its online banking site
- Barclays has begun using devices with heat and motion sensors to track when members of staff are at their desks. The bank is using the OccupEye black boxes to assess office space usage. Lloyds Banking Group uses similar technology
- Royal Bank of Scotland Group has invited tech entrepreneurs from across the world to its Edinburgh headquarters for an event called Disrupt 17
