Executive Summary
Brief Excerpt from Industry Overview Chapter:

The US banking industry includes about 6,800 commercial banks, 1,200 savings banks, and 8,000 credit unions with combined annual revenue of about $700 billion. Major companies include Bank of America, Citibank, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, and Navy Federal Credit Union. The industry is concentrated: the 50 largest firms generate 70 percent of revenue. Commercial banks account for about 80 percent of industry revenue; savings banks, 15 percent; and credit unions, 5 percent.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Demand for banking services is closely tied to economic activity and the level of interest rates. The profitability of individual banks depends on marketing skills, efficient operations, and good risk management. Large economies of scale exist in some segments of the industry, which has encouraged industry consolidation. Smaller banks can compete successfully in segments where customer service or knowledge of the local market is more important.
Many banks and thrifts aggressively offered adjustable rate and subprime mortgages during the housing boom of the early 2000s only to find themselves saddled with loan defaults and extensive losses when the housing bubble burst. Deep exposure to subprime mortgages and mortgage-backed securities caused bank failures, government takeovers, and involuntary mergers. Although the financial climate has improved, slow demand for loans and increased government regulation may result in a long recovery period for the banking industry

Posted on: Mon, 30 Aug 2010 07:53:37 EDT


San Antonio, Tx., Aug 30, 2010 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) --
Industry experts estimate the Prepaid Debit Card market will grow by 20% per annum to a record $400Billion by 2017 in the USA. SmartCard Marketing is an established company in the Prepaid Debit Card segment with 30 years of management and industry experience with a fully deployable Card Management & E-wallet platform marketed under the Velocitymoney trade name and Velocitymoney.com site to Financial Institutions, Merchant Banks, Businesses and Consumers.

SmartCard Marketing Systems Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SMKG | PowerRating) CEO Massimo Barone stated "We have successfully created a niche opportunity for our company in the Prepaid Debit Card market with the ability to implement and deploy card programs within a minimal time frame, which has been our core strategy. Our primary objective is to capture the shift from Credit facilitated cards which has been a traditional financial model for most banks to underwrite credit- to a shift worldwide toward Prepaid Debit Cards. The significance of developing an International Portfolio will allow us to capitalize on future industry consolidation from major banks when the Financial Industry has found its footing again. We feel strong that a portfolio of world class card programs and a solid active base of customers will lead to an eventual merger or acquisition."
