  • Will Digital Payment Systems Replace Paper Currency? by Hannah H. Kim July 19, 2019 – Volume 29, Issue 26 Intr
    7/19/2019 The Future of Cash: CQR Will digital payment systems replace paper currency? By Hannah H. Kim July 19, 2019 – Volume 29, Issue 26 Sections Introduction While cash continues to circulate widely in the United States, many consumers, as well as many business experts, believe paper money will soon become antiquated. Advocates of a cashless society point to countries such as Sweden and to some Chinese cities where mobile payment applications are supplanting paper currency. In the United States, digital payment systems are helping to change consumer habits, and some businesses have stopped accepting cash. Advocates of a cashless society argue that credit and debit cards and digital payment methods are efficient and transparent and inhibit financial crimes. Because cash is anonymous and largely untraceable, it can facilitate illicit activities such as tax evasion and money laundering. Critics of the cashless trend raise concerns regarding privacy, security and equality. They argue that cash lacks the fees associated with cards or electronic money transfers and that cashless businesses discriminate against people who must, or choose to, rely on cash. In the face of this criticism, some businesses that went cashless are reversing course. Street musician Peter Buffery, with his custom guitar that allows him to accept cashless donations, performs in London's Soho Square. (Getty Images/PA Images/Lewis Whyld) https://library.cqpress.com/cqresearcher/document.php?id=cqresrre2019071900 1/49 7/19/2019 The Future of Cash: CQR Overview Jamie Birdwell­Branson does not remember a time when she regularly used cash to buy things. “I've always just used my debit card,” says the 30­year­old freelance writer and editor who lives in Toledo, Ohio.

  • Financial Freak Show
    Financial freak show September 15, 2008 – The S&P/TSX Capped Financials Index has not retested its mid- July low of 154. In fact, the index, which tracks Canada’s major financial services companies, closed last Friday at 184, up 19.5% from July’s low. It’s a sign that investors believe that the worst could well be over for the big Canadian banks, most of which have taken sizable writedowns of US subprime mortgage-related debt. A price floor seems to have developed for the financials, and compared with the financial freak show unfolding south of the border, Canadian banks now appear as bastions of financial probity. But that’s no reason to gloat. Most Canadian banks’ balance sheets were fouled with the same sort of junk that’s bedevilling much of the US financial sector just now, but not to the same degree. They cleaned it up in a hurry, but let’s not forget that with one or two exceptions – Scotiabank and Toronto-Dominion Bank leap to mind – Canadian banks fell into the same trap that their US counterparts did. So no kudos for these guys – at least not until they restore shareholder value and demonstrate a return to the principles of solid bank management. On the other hand, the financial drama that continues to unfold in the south 49 has taken on the epic proportions of high Shakespearean tragedy. With much rending of garments and falling on swords the fourth-largest US investment bank, Lehman Brothers Holdings, descended into the banker’s hell of non-confidence last week, as the Korea Development Bank abandoned a possible deal that would have kept Lehman afloat.

  • TD Bank Agrees to Acquire the South Financial Group
    TD Bank Agrees to Acquire The South Financial Group May 17, 2010 CautionCaution regardingregarding forward-lookingforward-looking statementsstatements From time to time, the Bank makes written and oral forward-looking statements, including in this presentation, in other filings with Canadian regulators or the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and in other communications. In addition, representatives of the Bank may make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, the media and others. All such statements are made pursuant to the “safe harbour” provisions of applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws, including the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.Forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding the Bank’s objectives and priorities for 2010 and beyond and strategies to achieve them, and the Bank’s anticipated financial performance. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “will”, “should”, “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “plan”, “may” and “could”. By their very nature, these statements require the Bank to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, general and specific. Especially in light of the uncertainty related to the current financial, economic and regulatory environments, such risks and uncertainties – many of which are beyond the Bank’s control and the effects of which can be difficult to predict – may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. Risk factors that could cause such differences include: credit, market (including equity, commodity, foreign exchange and interest rate), liquidity, operational, reputational, insurance, strategic, regulatory, legal and other risks, all of which are discussed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) in the Bank’s 2009 Annual Report.

  • To the Stockholders of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and Bank One
    To the stockholders of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and Bank One Corporation A MERGER PROPOSAL Ì YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT The boards of directors of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and Bank One Corporation have approved an agreement to merge our two companies. The proposed merger will create one of the largest and most globally diversiÑed Ñnancial services companies in the world and will establish the second-largest banking company in the United States based on total assets. The combined company, which will retain the J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. name, will have assets of $1.1 trillion, a strong capital base, 2,300 branches in 17 states and top-tier positions in retail banking and lending, credit cards, investment banking, asset management, private banking, treasury and securities services, middle-market and private equity. We believe the combined company will be well-positioned to achieve strong and stable Ñnancial performance and increase stockholder value through its balanced business mix, greater scale and enhanced eÇciencies and competitiveness. In the proposed merger, Bank One will merge into JPMorgan Chase, and Bank One common stockholders will receive 1.32 shares of JPMorgan Chase common stock for each share of Bank One common stock they own. This exchange ratio is Ñxed and will not be adjusted to reÖect stock price changes prior to the closing. Based on the closing price of JPMorgan Chase's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (trading symbol ""JPM'') on January 13, 2004, the last trading day before public announcement of the merger, the 1.32 exchange ratio represented approximately $51.35 in value for each share of Bank One common stock.
