Bank stocks on a wild ride. Government aid for mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Testy customers lining up at the doors of a failed lender in California. The credit crisis slamming the financial industry is the all-too-real fallout from the nation's burst housing bubble, and it's greater than some recent upheavals, experts said Tuesday. The feeling of uncertainty isn't being helped by general economic angst and an electronic media world that blares that unsettling news 24-7, they said. On Tuesday, President Bush and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke made bids to soothe the waters. Charlotte-based Wachovia issued a statement that it was “strong and stable,” and the N.C. Bankers Association held a news conference to say the state's Banks entered the latest downturn with stockpiles of capital. “As painful as the low points of every economic cycle may be, and we are certainly at or near such a low point, each such valley has always been followed by the ascension to new heights,” association president Thad Woodard said in a statement. The problems in the economy are very real, said U.S. Rep. Mel Watt, the Charlotte Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee. Watt decided against a trip to the mountains last weekend because of high gas prices. However, he said in an interview Tuesday, “Runs on Banks are unjustified.” Analysts are increasingly comparing the current troubles to the 1990-1991 recession, although that ...

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose, By any other name would smell as sweet." With all due respect to William Shakespeare, Ed O'Boyle of Five Points Bank in Grand Island and Barry Sandstrom would like to disagree when it comes to those lines from "Romeo and Juliet." When it comes to Banks, there is a big difference between community Banks and a few of the Banks and brokerage houses that have been making all the recent headlines. O'Boyle and Sandstrom said those headlines have prompted their customers to ask about the financial health of Five Points Bank and Home Federal Bank here in Grand Island. Both men told The Independent that the health of both institutions is just fine. In fact, they said people have nothing to worry about when it comes to any Local financial institution that accepts deposits and makes loans. Although no one from Equitable Bank in Grand Island talked to The Independent, that institution coincidentally issued an Independent Community Bankers of America press release that praised the safety of customer deposits in community Banks. During his interview, O'Boyle stressed that Five Points Bank is a community bank. He said the financial institutions that are making the headlines made interest-only loans -- "statement-only" loans in which borrowers did not have to verify their annual incomes and negative amortization loans. Sandstrom said some people have developed a derisive term to describe what happene ... Source: www.thesheet.com --- 37 days ago

While dozens more are bound to emerge in the next few weeks, Australian Banks appear to have been the first Local organisations to get onto the iPhone 2.0 bandwagon. ANZ has rolled out a specialised version of its site for the iPhone, which should be auto-detected if you access the site via the phone. The feature set is currently limited to contact and branch location features; ANZ has promised balance checking and transfers in a future release. You can access the regular Internet banking features on the phone using the standard site via iPhone Safari, though how well that would work on the smaller screen is debatable. A more specialised application is the Commonwealth Bank's CommSec share trading application, which has been customised to use the touchscreen interface . We've not tested either yet; if you've got good or bad experiences to share, let us know in the comments. ...
