Community banks by: E_Finance (M/Fairfax, VA) 12/15/1999 11:25 pm EST Msg: 11145 of 11145 This is in response to a message on SI about CKFR and community banks. I work with a lot of companies in the financial service arena. Two in particular sell directly to a lot of community banks. These companies are nFront and ORCC. CKFR will not have to sell directly to each community bank. Rather its services will be provided by companies like nFront. As nFront adds more an more community banks to its fold it will help CKFR. Many other companies, like mine, are aggregating best in class providers of technology to the mix. Everyone wants the Holy Grail of one-stop shopping: Banking, Brokerage, Bill Payment/Presentment, Financial Advice, Money Management. Most want to partner with firms who lead in any of those categories because it is too time consuming to develop in house. Time to market is key. Most are partnering with CKFR for EBPP, but don't forget that CKFR also provides advice through the Mobius acquisition. P. Kight is clever and has a great handle on the big picture. Look for CKFR to leverage their WRAP products into more and more brokerage firms and don't be surprised when a major online brokerage firm announces EBPP for their clients. HINT: very soon.
