Going for brokerage in cyberspace
Article Abstract:
Internet users can access a range of execution-only online stock dealing services. US broking houses offer very price-competitive online dealing, but trading on the Internet in the UK is not as price-competitive. The lowest price available to customers in the UK appears to be that of Cave & Sons, at five pounds sterling plus 1% up to a deal value of 5,000 pounds sterling. However, this is an e-mail service only. Barclays Stockbrokers, which claims that its service is the easiest to join, anticipates that it will have more than 10,000 customers before the end of 1999.

Netting the customers
Article Abstract:
The introduction of telephone- and Internet-based banking services has created a significant challenge for traditional banking institutions. There are now many different online banking services, and cost savings in using online services are starting to be passed on in the form of higher interest rates. The main drawback of Internet banking is that some sites are very slow to load. New Internet banking services are being developed, with Halifax, for example, planning a discrete brand.
