Holiday Cheer from Glenbrook!

We're beginning to wind down for the holidays! We'll still be scanning for payments-related stories over the next two weeks - but expect the activity here will be much lighter than normal.

This is that special time of year to spend with family and friends! Best wishes for a wonderful holiday season from your friends at Glenbrook!

A Brazen Holiday Gift to the Banks?

That's what Ed Mierzwinski, consumer program director for the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, says about the implementation schedule (July 1, 2010 - 18 months away) allowed for the banks to adopt the new credit card rules adopted yesterday by the Fed, OTS, and NCUA.

The Finovate 2009 Conference Series

Jim Bruene has announced the Finovate 2009 Conference Series - with Finovate Startup planned for San Francisco on April 28, 2009 and Finovate 2009 planned for New York City on September 29, 2009.

"About 700 of the most innovative execs in banking, finance and technology attended a Finovate event in 2008. The events are fast-paced, just a single day, and allow you to network with the presenting execs along with the decision makers in the audience. Both attendees and presenters love the format."

At Glenbrook, we're big fans of what Jim and Eric do at these conferences. If you plan to attend, signup now for early discounts. If you're an innovator and want to present, get in touch early and tell your story!
