Murdoch,1 M. Angela Sasse,1 and Gianluca Stringhini1 1Computer Science Department, University College London, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT; 2 University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory, 15 JJ Thomson Avenue, CB3 0FD; 3Foundation for Information Policy Research *Corresponding author: E-mail: [email protected] Received 7 May 2017; accepted 17 November 2017 Abstract The study presented in this article investigated to what extent bank customers understand the terms and conditions (T&Cs) they have signed up to. If many customers are not able to understand T&Cs and the behaviours they are expected to comply with, they risk not being compensated when their accounts are breached. An expert analysis of 30 bank contracts across 25 countries found that most contract terms were too vague for customers to infer required behaviour. In some cases the rules vary for different products, meaning the advice can be contradictory at worst. While many banks allow customers to write Personal identification numbers (PINs) down (as long as they are disguised and not kept with the card), 20% of banks categorically forbid writing PINs down, and a handful stipulate that the customer have a unique PIN for each account. We tested our findings in a survey with 151 participants in Germany, the USA and UK. They mostly agree: only 35% fully understand the T&Cs, and 28% find important sections are unclear.

Primarily they’re working to develop an economically and environmentally sound mountain ecosystem to improve the livelihoods of mountain populations. They needed a new brand, website, photography and a solid set of guidelines in order to generate publications, books and web pages themselves. I developed an extensive set of templates and guidelines which can be used in an endless variety of ways to keep the them appearing fresh and different, but at the same time consistently looking and behaving as one organisation. The identity subtly highlights two of their key areas: Mountains and Water. 2 ALEX TREADWAY / DESIGN & PHOTOGRAPHY ICIMOD PASSING THE BATON ICIMOD publish a large amount of materials which are almost exclusively produced themselves by their in-house design team. They needed a set of guidelines which would cater for a vast array of different formats and content. I gave them an intuitive system which could adapt as necessary but at the same time be ever-so- simple to use. Now they’re doing it all themselves. 3 ALEX TREADWAY / DESIGN & PHOTOGRAPHY ICIMOD 4 ALEX TREADWAY / DESIGN & PHOTOGRAPHY ICIMOD ICIMOD PHOTOGRAPHY As well as re-establishing ICIMOD’s branding I also travalled to all of their member countries to generate an entire port folio of photography. The result was such a success ICIMOD decided to publish a coffee table book called ‘Life in the Himalayas’ to showcase the photographs and tell their story.

  • 22 Bishopsgate London EC2N 4BQ Construction of A
    Committee: Date: Planning and Transportation 28 February 2017 Subject: Public 22 Bishopsgate London EC2N 4BQ Construction of a building arranged on three basement floors, ground and 58 upper floors plus mezzanines and plant comprising floorspace for use within Classes A and B1 of the Use Classes Order and a publicly accessible viewing gallery and facilities (sui generis); hard and soft landscaping works; the provision of ancillary servicing and other works incidental to the development. (201,449sq.m. GEA) Ward: Lime Street For Decision Registered No: 16/01150/FULEIA Registered on: 24 November 2016 Conservation Area: St Helen's Place Listed Building: No Summary The planning application relates to the site of the 62 storey tower (294.94m AOD) granted planning permission in June 2016 and which is presently being constructed. The current scheme is for a tower comprising 59 storeys at ground and above (272.32m AOD) with an amended design to the top. The tapering of the upper storeys previously approved has been omitted and replaced by a flat topped lower tower. In other respects the design of the elevations remains as before. The applicants advise that the lowering of the tower in the new proposal is in response to construction management constraints in relation to aviation safeguarding issues. The planning application also incorporates amendments to the base of the building, the public realm and to cycle space provision which were proposed in a S73 amendment application and which your Committee resolved to grant on 28 November 2016, subject to a legal agreement but not yet issued. The building would provide offices, retail at ground level, a viewing gallery with free public access at levels 55 and 56 and a public restaurant and bar at levels 57 and 58.

  • MEXICO Executive Summary
    Underwritten by CASH AND TREASURY MANAGEMENT COUNTRY REPORT MEXICO Executive Summary Banking Mexico’s central bank, Banco de México (Banxico), is an independent body under the country’s constitution. It is responsible for monetary policy and is lender of last resort and provider of treasury services to the federal government. Banco de México shares responsibility for exchange rate policy and regulatory supervision of the finance sector with the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público). Mexico does not apply central bank reporting requirements or export controls. Resident entities are permitted to retain both MXN (Mexican peso) and foreign currency bank accounts domestically and abroad. Non-resident entities may hold domestic and foreign currency bank accounts within Mexico. Local currency accounts are not convertible into foreign currency. Mexico’s stable and well capitalized banking system is dominated by large foreign-owned institutions following a period of privatization and consolidation in the early 2000s sparked by legislation permitting foreign investment in the sector. Banks currently operating in Mexico include 23 financial groups, 50 multiple banks, six development banks, 84 credit unions and 39 representative offices of foreign banks. Payments Mexico’s high- and low-value clearing systems (SPEI and SICAM) are owned and operated by the central bank. CECOBAN, a consortium of banks, owns and operates CCEN, a clearing system for retail payments. Electronic credit transfers are widely used by large companies, while debit and credit cards are very popular for retail payments. Cash and checks are still commonly used by smaller firms and households. Internet-based electronic banking services are offered to both corporate and retail customers.
