Despite the initial hype characterizing remote deposit capture (RDC) as
a “fast track to the information superhighway,” financial institutions
that were early deployers of RDC typically were slow to roll out the
new technology to their customer bases.
Most institutions adopted a
cherry-picking strategy, selecting only their well-established, solid
businesses as targets. But the times, they are a-changing.

 Three years ago IBM wrote a study entitled "The paradox of Banking 2015: Achieving more by doing less" (complete article). In this article a simple question was posed - "Will future customers still need banks?". It basically concluded that the outcome was totally dependant on the banks themselves. New technologies to safeguard and manage finances, customers will only continue to depend on banks as long as banks can provide service and value that cannot be found anywhere else.
A recent study by Unisys found that 71% of UK consumers don't trust their bank. The reasons most cited included: disrespectful attitudes, weak IT (such as web sites), poor corporate governance and a lack of investment in the local community.
Now in 2007, two years after the fateful 2015 prediction, IBM states that a growing number of consumers are becoming more and more mistrustful of their financial institutions. In a new twist on the issue, the trend is increasing in younger generations of consumers - (Gen Y) heard of them? This is quickly threatening banks' long established position of trusted financial advisers.
What are you going to do about it? How can your bank survive in the year 2015?

Several articles have surfaced regarding the need for banks to begin using the newest Web 2.0 technologies.

The most exciting thing most bank's offer is a "local weather" image on their home page. Trying to incorporate such technology often leads to frustration, confusion and depression. So, let's take a look at a couple of the items mentioned in these articles, what you can do, and how Bankwide can help.
