While the Italian people have been on lockdown, its digital businesses have been spared the brunt of the recession, as companies continue providing vital services to the quarantined.

Lehman Brothers went bankrupt. Merrill Lynch, AIG, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, HBOS, Royal Bank of Scotland, Bradford & Bingley, Fortis, Hypo and Alliance & Leicester all came within a whisker of doing so and had to be rescued.

This is crunch time for the big U.S. banks. They have steadily taken market share from their smaller brethren over the past decade and built large capital cushions with record earnings.

The bank's interim chief executive, Noel Quinn, said HSBC would scale back its headcount from 235,000 to about 200,000 over the next three years.

The global financial system sits on a precipice at the moment where the future is quite uncertain.

One of the negative backspins of this is that saving gets sacrificed in these policies.

Google and Apple are pushing into consumer banking without taking on the regulatory restraints that come with being a bank.

When I heard there’s a new banking app starting to trend, I had to take a look.I’ll be the first to admit, I haven’t looked at banking options for awhile I figured “they‘re all bad if you really look into it, so why bother?”. Actually… they’ll pay you AND a charity $25 each if you try it, so now you kinda have to for the sake of the children (or whatever).

It is the stuff of financial nightmares. You get one digit wrong on the sort code, and send a huge amount of cash to the wrong person.

Deutsche Bank isn't known for its gold bugs, but that hasn't stopped its strategist Jim Reid from writing a paper that discusses "the start of the end of fiat money." Reid's basic contention is this: The dominance of the fiat currency system since Richard Nixon decoupled gold from the dollar in 1971 "is inherently unstable and prone to high inflation," and an offsetting disinflationary shock that kept it afloat since 1980 is now slowly reversing.
