Spreadsheets are out: addressing the challenges of income recognition

Saffron Walden Building Society’s Maurice Mills and Whistlebrook’s David Webber discuss how to approach the challenges of income recognition in the face of changing customer behaviour.

Customer behaviour is changing in retail banking as customers switch their current accounts, mortgages and credit cards more frequently.
