The writing is on the wall. The bank branch wall that is. In a world of ubiquitous smartphones, bank branch ROI continues to plummet. That leaves many financial institutions wondering how to replace the branch's historic role as the center of customer acquisition. There are many strategies: Substantial digital marketing and sales efforts Relationships with major local employers Lending, and banking, small businesses Leadership in K-12 financial education Affinity programs with local retailers Social media and PR champion None of those are particularly novel. But one you may not have tried recently is becoming the go-to financial institution in your area for homeowners and apartment renters. Being the local bank that helps people meet one of their top priorities in life, having a roof over their head, puts you in an enviable position.

Lloyds Banking Group will be the first European institution to use "phone printing" technology to help fight fraud. The technology comes courtesy of Pindrop Security, which has developed a solution that creates an "audio fingerprint" that makes it easier to spot the kind of unusual behavior that can be the first clue that fraudulent activity is taking place. "Our Phoneprinting technology is highly resilient and very quickly identifies and analyses a call's audio to indicate if a caller is suspicious," says Matt Peachey, Pindrop's VP and GM International. "This shines a spotlight on fraudulent activity before it becomes an issue—both for the organization and the customer—and also helps ensure a positive customer experience." CEO, CTO, and founder Vijay Balasubramaniyan demonstrated Pindrop's Fraud Detection System at FinovateFall 2012. The technology uses 147 unique call features such as location, number history, and call type to defend against many common fraud tactics such…
