#4
More questions will be asked by your bank(s) and the flow of information will become more transparent.

The year 2015 was a challenging one for the banks to work in a new world of regulations while working to serve their clients. For entities, low-interest rates made it a good time to borrow money but tough to make any on their deposits.

The year 2016 will be sure to bring even more regulations, which could be challenging, but the opportunity to capture higher rates on deposits could increase bottom-line income. January is an ideal time to start reviewing your cash flow and preparing a roadmap for the year.
