OVERVIEW
Australia's banking and financial
services market is highly competitive. A 2007 survey of 69 economies
ranked it third in the Asia Pacific for e-business capability, and
tenth world-wide. The sector includes Australian and international
monetary and financial systems and markets and involves the preparation
of records for corporate and personal financial purposes.
To sharpen their competitive edge and manage corporate strategies
and growth - as well as address the challenges of security, compliance
and regulation - local firms rely on technology. This provides great
opportunities for smart ICT graduates in an endless range of areas such
as: electronic products like smart card technology and credit and debit
cards; mobile phone applications (for checking balances or transferring
funds between accounts via SMS); bill paying; managing identity and
access; and stopping spam and viruses.
For those interested in investment there is the need for analytics software
for investment managers, banks, insurance companies and hedge fund
administrators; online banking and broking services; and accounting,
office administration, marketing and management for commercial, retail,
Government and Local Government sectors. The opportunities are
boundless!
