GRGBanking Launched iPhone App “ATM Finder”

November 25, 2011 in General

GRGBanking Launched iPhone App “ATM Finder”

Download “ATM Finder”?http://itunes.apple.com/cn/app/atm-finder/id468307846?l=en&mt=8

Looking for somewhere to withdraw money? Looking for banks nearby? With the expanding of banking service and the increasing usage of self-service equipments, ATM and bank branch now become one of the regular places to visit in people’s daily life. But where to find the nearest ATMs or banks, especially in an unfamiliar environment, becomes a bothering issue. In respond to that, GRGBanking, the world’s leading provider of currency recognition and cash processing solutions, recently launched its first iPhone application “ATM Finder”. Simply by using your iPhone, you can easily search and locate ATM and bank branch.

ATM Finder supports “Search ATMs” and “Search Bank branch”, to enable users to search different branches and ATMs located in restaurants, shopping malls, airports and so on. Information such as work hours, contacts and amount of handling charges are also available in the app. Not only you can search for local ATMs and its network information, but also conduct your search by a specific bank’s name or a specific location. The searching result will be shown on a list, ranked according to the distance between users and ATMs/Branch, and then its navigation system will guide you there. Besides, ATM Finder provides user with cartoon security tips in a very interesting and easy way to understand.

According to GRG’s R&D engineer, there are some similar applications in the market, but most of them are designed by individuals, others like map/navigation applications may support ATM search as well, but lack accuracy and regular update. And the increasing presence of “phishing scam” website also brings safety problems to banking financial services. ATM Finder was developed base on GRG’s rich developing experience and the mutual trust and sound cooperative relationship between GRG and other banks to ensure ATM Finder’s accuracy, updating and security.

A number of iPhone users downloaded the app and commented “accurate search”, “good user interface” and “interesting security tips, very considerate”.

GRG’s R&D engineer said, GRGBanking will continuously expand their cooperative relationship with banks and keep perfecting ATM Finder, to make it more compatible for different mainstream smart phone operation systems and different languages.

Stock futures higher after Apple results

July 20, 2011 in Banking Industry News


NEW YORK |
Wed Jul 20, 2011 7:24am EDT

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Stock index futures rose on Wednesday as continued strong earnings, including from Apple Inc (AAPL.O), underscored the growing sense that companies were faring well despite the recent soft patch in the economy.

* Equities have struggled against a number of headwinds recently, including concerns about sovereign debt problems in the United States and Europe, but on Tuesday posted their best day since March, helped by strong results from such bellwethers as International Business Machines Corp (IBM.N) and Coca-Cola (KO.N).

* Tech giant Apple late Tuesday posted third-quarter revenue that was far above expectations, helped by blockbuster sales of its iPhone, as well as its Asian business. The stock gained 4.5 percent to $393.80 in premarket trading.

* Yahoo Inc (YHOO.O) late Tuesday reported a slight decline in net revenue in the second quarter, as efforts to restructure its sales force caused disruptions that crimped revenue.

* Earnings will continue to be in focus, with American Express Co (AXP.N) and Intel Corp (INTC.O) among the many set to report on Wednesday.

* Among the early reporting companies on Wednesday were Textron Inc (TXT.N), which reported a second-quarter profit that beat expectations, and United Technologies Inc (UTX.N), which raised its full-year profit view.

* Investors will also be looking for June existing home sales data, due at 10:00 EDT, which are seen rising from the previous month. On Tuesday, housing starts that were much stronger than expected contributed to the market’s positive tone.

* SP 500 futures rose 7.5 points and were above fair value, a formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account interest rates, dividends and time to expiration on the contract. Dow Jones industrial average futures added 62 points and Nasdaq 100 futures rose 23 points.

* Ecolab Co (ECL.N) said it would buy Nalco Holding Co (NLC.N) for $5.4 billion.

* The growing optimism over earnings season comes as market participants also had more confidence with the ongoing talks for a debt deal in the U.S. Markets gained momentum late in the day on Tuesday after President Barack Obama suggested progress was being made toward a $3.75 trillion deficit reduction deal centered around entitlement reform.

* The White House and Congress need an agreement that includes an increase in the federal debt ceiling by August 2 or the United States could default on its debt.

* Obama’s comments, along with the earnings, sparked a sharp equity rally on Tuesday, with all indexes rising more than 1.6 percent and the Nasdaq climbing more than 2 percent.

CORRECTED-German main barrier to euro zone bonds -France

July 20, 2011 in Banking Industry News


Wed Jul 20, 2011 7:25am EDT

(Corrects quote in lede, to say “German reticence”, not “German
resistance”)

PARIS, July 20 (Reuters) – The main obstacle to the idea of
common eurozone bonds is “German reticence” and Germany and
France are the key to creating a lasting solution to the Greek
debt crisis, French government spokeswoman Valerie Pecresse said
on Wednesday.

Pecresse, who is also France’s budget minister, said French
President Nicolas Sarkozy wants a deal done as soon as possible.

A “durable solution goes via the Franco-German couple,” she
added.

Sarkozy, who is due to travel to Germany later on Wednesday
to meet with Chancellor Angela Merkel, wants euro zone countries
to agree on a deal for Greece by the end of a summit in Brussels
on Thursday, Pecresse, who was giving a readout after a weekly
cabinet meeting, added.
