For small business owners, one of the most perplexing situations is a realization that there are now essentially “good banks” and “bad banks”. To make matters worse, it is rarely easy to distinguish between the good and bad ones. For many commercial borrowers, business finance consulting has emerged as a helpful tool to determine which banks are still effective. But overall, the world of banking has changed dramatically for almost everyone, and many business borrowers are angry and confused by a new commercial banking landscape that does not seem to be working very well.One of the more difficult aspects associated with the “good bank and bad bank” analogy is that there are so many competing explanations as to what constitutes a “good bank”. One popular analysis has focused on how much banks are really worth in view of the toxic assets that are so complicated to evaluate. With this analysis, “bad banks” are typically those with assets worth less than their liabilities and as a result such banks have been referred to as “dead banks walking” or “zombie banks”.Not surprisingly we have not yet experienced a bank which has openly agreed that their liabilities exceed their assets and therefore they should be considered to be a zombie bank. This would be tantamount to describing themselves as a bankrupt bank. If a bank is truly deserving of the bankrupt status (and there are a number which certainly appear to be in this category), the current banking laws do not permit such a bank to go through the kind of bankruptcy process being considered by General Motors and Chrysler.Instead the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is supposedly required by law to assume the operation of the bankrupt bank until a new management and ownership arrangement can be established. For a number of smaller banks, this has in fact occurred during the past few months. What has been missing so far from this legal bank takeover approach by the FDIC has been the inclusion of larger banks which appear to have problems that are much more serious than the smaller banks which have already been liquidated and transferred to new owners by the FDIC.The reason that the FDIC has not liquidated larger problematic banks has not been made public. It is certainly possible that the FDIC and key public officials feel that the public failure of a major bank would create a crisis of confidence for all banks regardless of their financial health. An equally strong likelihood is that the FDIC simply does not currently have sufficient assets to cover the failure of a big bank. This viewpoint is supported by the recent announcement that the FDIC is in the process of raising fees paid by banks in order to replenish the FDIC insurance funds.Small business owners need their own evaluation standards to determine what constitutes either a “bad bank” or “good bank” as it relates to the future financial health of their own business. Business owners should include an assessment that focuses on results as to which banks can provide the needed help for their specific business circumstances involving working capital financing and commercial loan needs. The banks themselves are not likely to be helpful in providing the needed data to produce a candid evaluation of their financial status, even though such information would go a long way toward establishing a good bank-bad bank distinction.There are possibly several large bankrupt banks that have not rushed to advise the public that they are in serious trouble and are still functioning normally. While most banks have been publicizing during the past few months that they are making SBA loans and small business loans in a normal fashion, in most cases these banks have actually reduced commercial lending dramatically. In many areas business construction lending and specialized commercial lending have been effectively frozen.In addition to the critical importance of identifying “good banks”, we have published a related report which describes the delicate issue confronting many business owners who might need to fire their banker. Just as there are “good banks” and “bad banks”, there are also “good bankers” and “bad bankers”.Business finance consulting has emerged as an important tool to help small business owners work their way through a complicated commercial banking maze. In the Bernie Madoff fiasco, one of the common questions asked repeatedly is why investment advisors did not evaluate the Madoff internal operations prior to placing investor funds with Madoff and his Ponzi scheme.Our candid final point is that the use of a commercial finance consultant should be at least considered by commercial borrowers in their search for new working capital loans and commercial mortgage financing. Businesses now need to act more aggressively than before in order to protect their own financial interests.

Central Bank of India chairman and managing director <strong>S Sridhar </strong>’s 11th floor office at Nariman Point offers a lovely view of the sea. The interiors of his sprawling office are, however, quite spartan, but what really stands out is an array of statues of gods and goddesses, besides a replica of the Golden Temple. If Sridhar is looking for divine intervention, he perhaps has got it.Ever since Sridhar took charge in March 2009, the bank’s net profit has nearly doubled to Rs 1,066 crore (as of March 2010) from Rs 570 crore a year earlier. This came on the back of a 20% rise in the total income to Rs 13,821 crore from Rs 11,541 crore from a year ago.An alumnus of IIT Delhi and Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management, Mumbai, Sridhar has about 36 years of commercial and developmental banking experience, having worked with the State Bank of India, Exim Bank and the National Housing Bank (NHB), among others. And he now dons two hats. Apart from being the top boss at the Central Bank, he has been the CMD of NHB since April 2006.The Central Bank was set up in 1911; and in 1926, it was merged with the Tata Industrial Bank. At that time most banks were set up and run by expatriates. However, the idea behind Central Bank was to have a lender set up and run by Indians – the first bank in India with a true Swadeshi flavour.So from the very beginning, it was projected as a Swadeshi institution. At the time of bank nationalisation in 1969, it was the No. 1 nationalised bank (the Imperial Bank became State Bank of India, a nationalised bank, in 1955).In its centenary year, Sridhar wants the swadeshi focus to continue while he introduces new technologies and processes to make banking more pleasurable, broad-based and with an appeal for the youth. Besides, he is also championing rural housing and affordable housing as the head of NHB. Excerpts from the interview..<strong>The bank will soon turn 100. What’s your vision for the bank in its 100th year? </strong>I want it to be a full service bank, for every type of customer. It has to be a contemporary bank, an expertise-oriented bank. Our customers should be at the heart of all our businesses.Besides, I aim to bring young customers into our banking fold. We are taking several steps to that end, which includes leadership training for our mid-to-senior level managers. We are de-layering the bank by having a large corporate vertical and a mid-corporate vertical.We have also created a bad loan recovery vertical where we are using legal moves as well as negotiating settlement of NPAs. In this area, we have done some major work, mainly in the field of corporate debt restructuring. Last year we had the best yearly recovery figure ever. We recovered Rs 650 crore worth of bad loans.<strong>What have you planned for the centenary year? </strong>We have just started our annual lecture series – Sir Sorabji Pochkhanawala Memorial Lecture – by eminent Indians.The first lecture was by Kamalesh Sharma, the Commonwealth secretary-general. We also have two main themes for our centenary year – youth & sports and health for the disabled.Central Bank is considered an old-age bank. My idea is to change that perception by getting a large number of youth as our customers by using the centenary celebrations platform to reach to them.We have also signed up as the official banking partner for the Commonwealth Games in Delhi this October.Besides, we are also associated with football in Kolkata, the Nagpur Marathon and SPICMACAY (Society for Promotion of Indian Classical Music and Culture Amongst Youth). For the second theme, we are working in association with Sankara Nethralaya<strong>A number of banks are raising Tier-I capital. What are your own plans to raise capital? </strong>The bank will get Rs 2,060 crore from the central government for its contribution in our forthcoming rights issue, and another Rs 500 crore from the public shareholders.So nearly Rs 2,600 crore will be infused in the bank in the form of equity. So, with that our capital adequacy and capital position of the bank will be considerably stable.As of March 2009, the bank’s capital adequacy ratio was 12.84%. The rights issue will happen in the current financial year but the dates have not been fixed yet.<strong>You also head the National Housing Bank. What is your focus area at NHB now? </strong>For NHB, affordable housing is one of the main focus areas. Way back in 2006, at a CREDAI (the Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Associations of India) conference, I had proposed the need for affordable housing and the need to have a Rs 1-lakh house.For India, the need of the hour is to have affordable housing. We contribute to the area of affordable housing through banks and housing finance companies (HFCs).The rural housing and financing of rural housing are the other focus areas. For housing in rural areas, we have the Rural Housing Fund, under which we give low-cost loan refinance at 6-7% (per annum), depending up on the type of loan.This is meant for the weaker sections in rural areas, as per the RBI definition. Because of the Rural Housing Fund, a number of HFCs are now entering the rural housing financing space. NHB also holds a 15% stake in Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services (one of the leading companies in the rural housing finance area).We are willing to take such equity in more private companies, which are into rural housing and rural housing finance. However, 75% of their financing should be in the rural housing segment. We are also trying to get RRBs (Regional Rural Banks) interested in rural housing. And after several years of initiatives, about 15 RRBs are now in rural housing.

Thanks to significant advancements in technology, today you can use your mobile phone to send email, surf the Internet, download music, take pictures, shop and more. In fact, you can use a cell phone to accomplish almost anything you can on a PC – even conducting your banking! Next time you’re standing in line, or waiting on a friend, rather than killing time surfing the Internet, why not be productive and try mobile banking to review your finances? According to a study by financial consultant Celant, 35 percent of online banking households in America will be utilizing mobile banking as early as next year. Before you decide if mobile banking is for you, however, take a few moments to review this information and some handy tips about mobile banking.What is mobile banking?If you have never used mobile banking, you may be unfamiliar with what it is, how it works, and how it differs from Internet banking. Mobile banking is an extension of the online banking services offered free by most major banks. Still in its infancy, mobile banking can be a convenient, efficient and secure way to manage your finances. According to a study by accounting firm KPMG, 9 percent of U.S. consumers have tried mobile banking. However, about two-thirds of U.S consumers are regular users of Internet banking. Both are technology-based solutions, usually offered free as a value-added service, by most major banks. Internet banking requires you to use a computer that is connected to the Internet. Mobile banking allows you the freedom to bank from anywhere, anytime – without having to lug around a laptop and hunt for a WiFi connection. As an example, Fifth Third Bank offers a traditional Web site (www.53.com), as well as a mobile site (53.mobi). Both can be accessed using a Web browser, and both allow you to manage your finances. The mobile banking site, however, was specifically developed for cellular phone users. TIP: There are three different platforms used in mobile banking: Web browsers, downloadable applications and text messaging. Depending on your bank’s offerings, you may have a choice of platform. Why mobile banking?Banking by cell phone may seem a bit intimidating at first. Like anything new, there’s always a learning curve. However, mobile banking offers a variety of benefits, including convenience and freedom. As you are waiting in the checkout line at the grocery store, you can review your account balance and recent transactions. You can request a text message every time your checking account balance dips below a pre-determined amount, and then transfer funds from your savings account. Most mobile banking systems will help you locate the closest ATM or branch, too.TIP: Be sure to check with your cell phone service provider. There may be additional charges to use Internet-based services and text messaging features on your cell phone. Depending on your plan, you may find it more economical to use one over the other. Check with your carrier for more details.Is mobile banking secure?Some fear that using mobile banking services exposes them to greater security risks. However, the idea that mobile banking is less safe than other transactions is unfounded. In addition to other security measures, the browsers used in most of today’s cell phones have built-in security, just like your computer’s Web browser does. All transactions that pass through these systems are fully encrypted.TIP: Never store your mobile banking account username and password in your phone.Still not sure if you’re ready to try mobile banking? Watch this mobile banking demo for more information. Soon, you’ll be joining the 35 percent of Americans leading the mobile banking revolution – and have even better control over your personal finances.Fifth Third Bank, Member FDIC.

Can be a bank bank loan a resolution for the problem

In usual scenarios you should sustain a very excellent credit history line in order being equipped so you can get a traditional bank bank loan. In some scenarios, your a bad credit score score can forestall you from receiving the financial loan you’re requiring and because from the existing personal condition, banks turned stiffer when it can come down to granting unsecured loans. At that position quite unfavorable credit ratings loans are deemed the most effective possibility.Banks and lending establishments use the credit history rating to help them figure out if your borrower goes to shell out on time or not. Credit ratings rating exhibits whether or not it’s risk-free or not to lend that man or woman cash and also the interest rate is at all times calculated on that rating. So, if you’ve got a better credit history score then you’ll be able to get reduce rates of interest and bigger volume of cash because the credit rating rating is telling the lender that you will be in a position to pay out on time so you will not delay installments and month-to-month obligations so, these banks are keen so you can get you as a new consumer on board.If you’ve very low or bad credit score then you can deal with high interest rate and most banks would refuse to grant you the bank loan you desire. But, you’ll find some institutions specialized in really poor credit loans and for which they incur higher interest rate because they are really risking lots by way of not regaining their cash.Really low credit score loans can be really useful if utilized from the suitable way. These loans are only momentary and shouldn’t stay up for in excess of few of weeks or a single thirty day period as maximum. In case you roll them around after the designated time, you can stack a great deal of interest on you therefore you will end up that has a bigger personal debt than the 1 you obtained been struggling from in the beginning.Be certain which you only get what you require not, what you are able to get. In other text, when you have to have $ one thousand to repair your car or truck and which you will spend the quantity with the up coming paycheck then usually do not accept an present from a bank telling you that you just certified for $ 2000. People today believe that much more is better but, this is not the way in which it operates when it comes to loans.Additionally to this, be sure which you only get the personal loan that it is possible to go over via your next paycheck. Feel twice just before taking a personal loan that you just will not be able to pay out for it due to the fact cash withdrawal may be very simple though paying out it back is very much harder.If you will be not able to find the money for really poor credit loans and their substantial rates then contemplate talking to your relatives close friend and see if he or she can manage to pay for lending you funds or not. The answer isn’t usually without a doubt so, do not be around optimistic mainly because individuals have their own emergencies. It is far better to ask many persons and hopefully you’ll let you know the answer you want.

BVI Banking One Of The Best Developed Tax Havens In The World

The banking sector of the British Virgin Islands is strong and dynamic with the availability of modern international banking services. It offers access to clients 365 days a year and though it also offers internet banking with a USD account, other major currency deposits are also accepted.However BVI banks do not issue corporate debit cards and companies involved in ecommerce are not accepted but it offers customers USD corporate chequing accounts. On the other hand BVI banking services offers debit cards on personal accounts.The first Caribbean International bank (FCIB), First bank BVI and VP bank (BVI) are the prominent banks of British Virgin Islands with FCIB specializing in international banking, offshore banking services for IBCs, internet banking facilities and international credit cards.Certain documents are required by the banks prior to opening an account in BVI.

Once the bank related documents are submitted to the concerned bank the particular BVI bank account should be activated within two working days from the receipt of the documents by depositing the minimum initial deposit which is 2,500 US dollars. Though documentary requirements may vary from bank to bank generally, they will need to know and identify the actual owner/owners and everyone else who has been given account signatory rights.Although personal appearance of the owner of the company is not necessary while opening an account in a BVI bank, still laws regulating the banking industry make it mandatory for banks to know their clients background thoroughly, and they also require an account introduction through an approved intermediary. Approved intermediaries are in the form of professional incorporation service providers based in the British Virgin Islands.Banking secrecy is a fundamental cornerstone of BVI banking services and under no circumstances can a clients background information be leaked to a third party. This is the reason why BVI banks are very particular with documents prior to opening an account because while protecting a clients background they never want to be caught on the wrong foot.However there are instances when a clients information may be divulged by a BVI bank and these may be under a proper criminal investigation carried out by local police authorities in-land or when ordered by a court in BVI.BVI Information: British Virgin Islands is one of the most beautiful territories in the Caribbean.

Now governments, in the name of anti-terror laws have started usurping authority to look into anyones personal information for no strong reason.* Its not just about privacy and taxes, banking BVI Offshore gives you all the luxuries that you can get in a world class bank.* World class infrastructure, communication systems, modern day facilities like credit cards, internet, online banking and courier services are available in British Virgin Islands.* You will also be saved from the tensions of legal issues as someone rarely thinks of filing a suit in a far away country and even if someone does plan to, there is legal protection provided to you in the British Virgin Islands, as in other offshore tax havens.

Business Internet Banking – A Fundamental Requirement For Your Business

Now you can do anything and everything with your online event from anywhere and at anytime. You have 247 access of your bank account. The advantages of internet banking for personal as well as business requirements are obvious. Business internet banking is a fundamental requirement to start, grow, and manage your business. It is very crucial to offer internet banking services to your clients as it adds to their convenience. If you’re still thinking on shifting to online business banking, it’s high time that you just join the tide. In today’s competitive times, getting the right business internet banking services plays a crucial role in your business success. If you’re a small business owner, looking for a bank, financial institution, or credit union partner can sometimes be very frustrating. For small business owners, it is quite difficult to find a bank that can finance your operations as and when you need. Locating in a small town or far-flung area simply adds insult to the injury. In such a scenario, online business banking services can actually solve your problem and help you in getting required finance to grow and manage your business. Why to Set Up a Business Bank Account?Setting up a business bank account is the first and foremost requirement of small business banking. Using a personal bank account has its own disadvantages, as it does not help run the business as a business. It may reduce your expenses, bank fees, and efforts, but mixing personal and small business banking is certainly not a good idea. This may create many problems for your business in the long run. If you’re using your personal bank account for business transactions, it would be very difficult to convince financial institutions that you’re actually running a serious business. Banks, financial institutions, or government may think that you’re running a hobby business and that too on a part-time basis. This is one of the biggest disadvantages of not setting up a business bank account and using personal account for executing business transactions. Starting a new business is risky. Most people start it on a part-time basis and use personal bank accounts for making transactions. Later on, when they take over full time, then also they find it safe to transact from personal accounts which is not good. At the times, when you need to declare your income and expenses from the business, personal transactions cannot be shown. Here is when you get trapped. Accurate records can be shown only when you have a business bank account. If you don’t have one, get ready to experience tax-time nightmares. Importance of Business Internet BankingOnce you’ve set up your business bank account, it is wise to avail internet banking services. Business internet banking is a good option for those who have to make frequent transactions. Visiting a nearby bank again and again is not practically feasible. Along with this, having an online business account is beneficial as you can easily get loans from banks to manage your business as and when you want. It is easy to receive funds online than to actually cashing a check or draft. Even if setting up an account and availing online banking services takes time, have patience. It will simplify your business records as well as your life.

In periods of globalisation, financial crises, increasing inflation and the reorientation of the system that is commonly being called for, reliable partners are extremely worthwhile who on the one hand represent stability and on the other hand combat inflation and the risks of volatile markets with progressive concepts. The latest developments have demonstrated that spreading assets between several institutions is imperative as financial crises can also cause larger market players great problems at any time.

Our customers reap the entire benefits of these values and competencies – both in terms of the building up of their assets and maintenance of liquidity with special terms and conditions, and also in the field of investment banking.The target group of businesspeople and wealthy private individuals views the private banking concept of FARGO BANK LIMITED as an intimate and discreet solution of their individual wishes and problems in terms of the key banking functions. Restricting to the aforementioned target group of businesspeople and well situated private individuals excluded the foundation of a public bank in principle as these product solutions are unaffordable for the majority of clients. The essential business fields of FARGO BANK LIMITED result from this:1. Trade financingTrade financing offers the option of obtaining cash to conduct business at better terms and conditions than you have when using an overdraft credit. Trade financing involves the conversion of domestic and export receivables into cash shortly after they have been handed over. Insured receivables have a stipulated date when they are put into service and are easy to convert into cash compared to real estate. The sale of receivables benefits the balance sheet and makes it possible to access additional financing sources.Guarantees (BG) / Standby letters of credit (SBLC)FARGO BANK LIMITED provides bank guarantees (BG), standby letters of credits orwarranties in the name of the customers. They are generally importers, exporters or contractors whose business partners demand a promise of payment in some form. A BG or a SBLC is a written undertaking by the bank that in the event the customer does not meet a certain obligation the bank will pay the amount of money to the party in question in the name of the customer. BG’s/ SBLCs or bonds can be conditional or unconditional. If the BG /SBLC is conditional this means that the party who wants to claim a guarantee must fulfil a few conditions before the guarantor is prepared to pay the corresponding sum to the party entitled to the claim. If the guarantee is a simple receivables guarantee this means that the party entitled to the claim in the document can demand the claim listed in the guarantee by means of a simple request.Letters of credit (LC)Letters of credit have existed since the first banks were founded. They are based on the principle that the creditworthiness of an unknown purchaser is replaced by the creditworthiness of a known bank. FARGO BANK PLC takes the place of its customer to meet payment undertakings provided the customer meets some conditions. This mechanism is called a credit or letter of credit. The conditions of the import or export letter of credit are generally known. These conditions apply if FARGO BANK LIMITED represents the import or export customer.2.

Best Bank Rates – Which Bank Has the Top Rates on the Market

What are the best bank rates? Which bank will give you the most bang for your buck?
Obviously, today with the very low interest rates being offered, finding a bank that will give you the highest rates possible for your checking and savings account is very important. Some banks have higher rates than others, so finding the top one is important to maximizing your return on investment.
So how do you go about finding the best rates available? First of all, you need to know what you are looking for rates on.
Today, there are very few banks that still only offer checking’s and savings accounts-almost all of them have branched out into things such as certificates of deposit, IRA’s, loans, etc.
Therefore, what you are looking for will affect your choice, because some banks offer the beset rates for one of these, and are at the bottom of the list in other departments.
First off, if you are looking for checking and savings accounts or certificates of deposit, check on the internet. Typically, banks that do business solely online offer the best bank rates, and usually about one or two percent higher than most other banks, simply because they have fewer expenses than banks with a physical presence.
They don’t have to worry about keeping up physical branches, which is why they can give you the better interest rates. I’d highly recommend you look into these banks, as you can get the most bang for your buck. Just do a search on banks that are solely online, and many will come up.
Also, many of these banks actually offer lower interest rates on loans and mortgages, again for the reason that they have fewer expenses, and therefore can afford to. Of course, if it was this cut and dry everybody would go with an internet bank, right? Correct.
There are drawbacks as well, such as the fact that you often times can’t get to it when out and about, for the simple fact that most of these banks don’t have ATM machines. However, as long as you remember to bring your credit card wherever you go, you should be in business.
Also, of course, if you receive checks from either other businesses or personal checks, you are out of luck when it comes to cashing these in, since the only way to get money into your account is through a direct deposit.
Therefore, you want to be sure virtually all of your money comes from direct deposit or bank transfers before going with a solely online bank. Should you go with one of these banks?
That really depends on your individual needs. Yes, they will offer you the best rates, but at a price. The bottom line is, the bank should be just a temporary holding spot for your money until you find a better investment, and believe me, there are many available out there.
