ITA SAFE not only helps banks best address regulatory compliance, but enables them to provide the most secure online transactions for their customers. By doing this, banks can recognize reduced operational and customer support expenses, mitigate risk in a proactive manner, and most importantly, increase customer trust online.

ITA S.A.F.E. not only helps banks best address regulatory compliance, but enables them to provide the most secure online transactions for their customers. By doing this, banks can recognize reduced operational and customer support expenses, mitigate risk in a proactive manner, and most importantly, increase customer trust online.

I think it's clear that the banks that are more tied to the retail sector are going to have a much tougher quarter compared to those with diversified positions. The banks in the retail sector have to deal with interest rate compression, loan volume will be tougher, and they don't have the trading or investment banking that are hot now.

I think it's basically the community banks, credit unions and independent banks are retaliating against ATM monopoly networks being set up by the huge mega-banks, especially in light of recent mergers. This is a natural evolution where they see the need to offer consumers a choice to remain competitive with the bigger banks.

It could be, ahead of earnings, the market is trying to separate out the banks it thinks will actually do well even in the higher interest rate environment,

I think the market should reward banks that have been transparent in recognising their problems. I think the tendency of banks to hide the problem assets over a period of three or four years should not be allowed.

I think the difference in the discussions that have taken place in the last month ... is that the push now is more towards what is in the long term interests of Formula One. That is where probably the acquisition from the banks of the equity by CVC has been most positively felt because they want stability, they want growth and now we participate in that growth so everybody has a very common interest.

I think the banks will make the revolver available if they get collateral. Collateral covers a multitude of sins.

I think the banks have confidence in our ability as a going concern, hence the waiver. The banks certainly are not going to grant a waiver to a company it feels does not have ability to pay its debts.

It is good news to me and the other plaintiffs that MasterCard is resorting to drastic measures such as attacking our lawyers instead of disputing the facts of the case. The credit card companies and banks have been deafeningly silent about the case, which I think proves that they know the facts speak for themselves.

It is possible, that more competition among banks and credit card companies would diminish interest rates, but more of the competition is needed among the banks rather than among the networks,

I think we've learned that the S.B.A. plays a critical role in providing access and opportunity when the market is not providing that access. We help banks get that money out into the hands of important and viable businesses, particularly those owned by minorities, women, immigrants and veterans.

I think what's happening is that with Japanese banks wanting to clean positions by March 31, we're hearing that they have been big sellers in North America.

I think beach nourishment is used to help sell housing projects and protect the towns' tax base. People have this idea of the Outer Banks as a wild, wind-swept destination and an artificial beach will take away that lure which in turn could hurt the economy.

It gives the impression Koizumi wanted someone who has political clout and who can support his structural reforms. Merging or privatizing government-affiliated banks will be positive for commercial lenders and brokerages because it will mean more business for them.

It goes from flooding its banks to getting very low.

I think we are taking after the markets in Europe, most of them are down today. I think the guys are just taking profits on banks because there's still good news especially with credit demand figures this morning.

I think that the smaller banks are probably going to have more difficulties in the upcoming six-to-12 months simply because they have relied on loan growth to drive EPS growth to meet consensus expectations. And loan growth is not where you want to be. Bread-and-butter banking is not that great of a business. And you're also the ends in terms of margin pressure. The Fed has raised rates 175 basis points, which usually translates into a much more difficult margin environment. And I think that that is going to hurt the bank below the top 15 in market cap for the near term. I would say the larger-cap banks, once they get over the capital markets issues they're experiencing over the second quarter, should see a little bit more strength.

It is likely that the results of special inspections of banks will be available by March 31,

It is important to note there is no specific threat being communicated to any specific institution, ... We are not changing our assessment of the overall national threat level, and we are not asking banks to close or urging people to stay away from banks.

I will not talk about this experience. But, as I wrote before today, a signal of intervention by central banks can be an extremely effective move. I am not disapproving in certain situations of joint single intervention.

Our Government is committed to pursuing policies and programs which facilitate a further lowering of the interest rates in order to fuel investment and growth. We call on the commercial banks to partner with us in this effort.

Overpaying the banks for their toxic assets could contribute capital, but that may not be politically feasible or attractive.

Our primary competition is still domestic banks. But we are certainly aware there is going to be competition from foreign banks directly and indirectly because every day you read about another investment in a domestic bank and they will be bringing in risk management, better processes and more capital.

Our view hasn't changed. It appears that this ruling sets a powerful precedent that might allow additional banks to enter areas that were prohibited by law in the past. We're concerned there may be other projects.

My plan was to stay in it until the end, then steal it. And we were doing that. Then the guy banks in the 3.

Marcus Banks had three years here, to play, and he had three coaches (Jim O'Brien, John Carroll, Doc Rivers) that weren't real excited about him. I think Marcus is a good player, but I don't think (there was) impatience, certainly not like a Joe Johnson or Chauncey Billups situation, you know, rookie players that were very high (draft) picks.

Like the rest of the economy, banks are feeling the effects of the recession, as well as the aftershocks of the terrorist attacks on America in September,

I think shipping companies are no longer facing difficulties in seeking loans since banks have accepted their vessels as collateral. I think it will take some time for banks to study the shipping business (before lending the money).

I think his calculation is we have some further distance to go in the correction and banks need to be careful

Julius Baer's business model is very similar to that of the three private banks and GAM. The sale of the complete unit pays special attention to the preservation of continuity between clients and their advisers creating value for all parties.

That would increase unemployment and hurt our economy, and commercial banks could also face a difficult operating environment.

That would be happening here as high-techs and banks were sold heavily in the past few days.

Most of the major banks have already been giving the data anyway, so comparability won't be a problem, because we already have the data.

Merging city banks can allow them to boost product innovations, tighten risk controls and explore business in bigger geographic regions.

Midwestern banks are accustomed to shifts in the local economies. They plan for it. However, they do not avoid it. They get hurt. Their loan losses rise. Their earnings tumble and their stock prices are impacted. It will happen again.

Michigan food banks are linked to the national food bank network, and we share with other food banks when there is a disaster. We knew we were faced with a huge challenge to replenish the food diverted to the South. Our donors met that challenge and contributed generously.

We haven't received any formal application from banks to start their own insurance companies yet.

We continue to be very pleased with our loan growth numbers and the ongoing demand among borrowers for our loan products in all of the markets we serve in Nevada and Arizona.

We drove to several banks and someone said they found her behind New River Shopping Center,

We drove the ball some in the second half but a fumbled option pitch and another fumble both killed drives when we were moving the ball. Our defense played great in the second half and shut Banks down. We stopped them on fourth down at the three-yard line.

We have carefully evaluated our options and decided that -- as one of the nation's leading retail banks -- we will issue credit cards directly.

Two weeks ago we issued an alert to blood banks

To have an effective monetary policy, you have to have a robust borrowing and lending cycle.
