Many of us take it for granted, but accessing basic financial services is fundamental to our economic and social development. It is hard to ‘get on’ if you are forced to hide life savings under the mattress, or rely on predatory loan sharks for credit.

Machine learning (ML) is one of the most discussed technological tools, and if in the past only a few companies could use it due to high cost and lack of resources, today many industries use ML. The financial sector is not an exception and embraces all possible advances in digital transformation. The main trouble of the financial domain is fraud detection. ML is the number one technology that helps Fintech companies detect fraud. Let’s find out how.

Over the years, the IT landscape has changed dramatically, and while CA Telon’s efficacy has endured, several increasingly impactful factors have driven users to look for alternatives. First, developers familiar with CA Telon are increasingly difficult to find, as most have reached retirement age. Second, due to its run-time elements, CA Telon’s licensing costs continue to accrue, while at the same time its development benefits decline.

To combat this, a doctor might suggest taking a daily multivitamin as an insurance policy, to guarantee the body gets all the minerals and vitamins it needs, avoiding any shortfalls. Makes sense, right?

It’s no news that the retail industry has been flipped on its head by the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the lockdown, most in-store operations have been shut down, and nationwide furloughs, reduced pay and steady streams of income at risk have fuelled a change in consumer spending priorities and trends.

We need to band together to determine how retailers can strengthen current operations, support their loyal customer base, and continue to grow in the midst of the virus and unpredictable changes to purchasing behaviour.

Gauging the impact on the retail sector

In the latest development in the IBOR transition, on the weekend of July 25th, we saw the major CCPs perform the much-anticipated Euro discounting and price alignment transition from using EONIA to EuroSTR (a.k.a. €STR) for all Euro OTC interest rate products. We understand that all compensation payments have now settled.
