...INSTITUTE OF COMPETETIVE STUDIES Bank PO & Clerk Understanding Banks In today’s world, banks have become an indispensable part of our daily lives. They have grown beyond their core functions and have their presence in almost every aspect of our lives. Banks were originally designed to be providers of loans to people for personal or business use and to safeguard the money of individuals and corporates.

(C) for failing to comply with a federal law that requires banks to establish protections against money-laundering but didn't impose a fine. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency said that Citi's U.S. banking unit showed deficiencies in its compliance with the bank-secrecy act, which requires banks to report on suspicious activities and maintain other protections against money laundering. Citi neither admitted nor denied the regulator's allegations and entered into a consent order with the regulator to fix the problems. Though the regulator didn't issue a fine, it still has the right to do so. The regulator said the bank had numerous weaknesses, including problems identifying and monitoring high-risk customers. In response, Citi said that the bank has "taken significant steps" in developing plans to manage the risk of money-laundering risks. "Because of these actions, many of the issues highlighted in the OCC's order have already been remediated or are in the process of being remediated," the bank said. "Furthermore, we are developing a plan to address the remaining OCC requirements.

... Pavel Kireyev is a Ph.D. student and Sunil Gupta is the Edward Carter Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School, and Koen Pauwels is Professor at Ozyegin University, Istanbul, Turkey. 1 Do Display Ads Influence Search? Attribution and Dynamics in Online Advertising Abstract As firms increasingly rely on online media to acquire consumers, marketing managers feel comfortable justifying higher online marketing spend by referring to online metrics such as click‐through rate (CTR) and cost per acquisition (CPA). However, these standard online advertising metrics are plagued with attribution problems and do not account for dynamics. These issues can easily lead firms to overspend on some actions and thus waste money, and/or underspend in others, leaving money on the table. We develop a multivariate time series model to investigate the interaction between paid search and display ads, and calibrate the model using data from a large commercial bank that uses online ads to acquire new checking account customers. We find that display ads significantly increase search conversion. Both search and display ads also exhibit significant...
