For businesses with the objective of serving the changing needs of customers, accepting credit card payments is essential. For small businesses and start-ups, however, setting up a merchant account is often a complex process, not to mention beyond their resources. Business owners seek for better deals, but are faced with the difficulties of navigating their choices in the merchant account industry.

For businesses aiming to provide customers the convenience of cashless payment, investing in the right merchant account provider is of paramount importance. Too often, however, such merchant account holders face the common issue of excessive credit card processing payments, particularly when partnering with providers that do not fully disclose their rates. There are also problems relating to poor customer support and network down time, which can tremendously affect business.

Richard Dragotta, Branch Manager of “The Paramus Branch” is proud to celebrate the 10th year with LPL Financial. Having founded the branch a decade ago, Dragotta left the wirehouse model he knew and loved for his first 10 years in the industry and ventured to the mysterious, obscure and unknown model of the independent platform of that time. “A decade sure goes fast when you’re having fun. As a manager and an advisor at some of the largest wirehouses on Wall Street I felt a crack in the dam. Culturally things seemed to be changing for the industry and for many firms, so I went with my gut and took a chance. I guessed right not just on the future of the industry but finding a great partner in LPL Financial” says Dragotta.

Building a 'winning' retail bank demands significant investment in three core areas: branch banking, core modernisation technology and mobile money. Allied with a long-term vision, commitment from senior management and an environment that fosters innovation, a retail bank can outsmart and outperform its competitors. The single most important attribute that unites winning banks is the expansion of branch banking because they recognise the branch is the foundation of the customer experience, and when they get this right, they can start to achieve operational excellence and grow market share. Core modernisation technology comes in second place and this requires considerable investment. For example, Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA), one of the 'winning' retail banks in the report, invested A$1.1bn ($1.18bn) in its new core banking platform. However, core modernisation technology delivers efficiencies. Already, CBA expects cost savings by the end of FY2012 because of its investment. Finally, the world's winning retail banks have harnessed innovation in contactless payments and targeted the mobile channel as a battle point between them and their competitors.
