Financial Services Business Group created

The Financial Services Business Group has been launched:
  http://www.w3.org/community/financialservices-bg/

--------------------------------------------------

The mission of the Financial Services Group (“Financial Services BG”) is
to foster ongoing participation by members of the financial services
industry and the overall ecosystem in developing the Web for financial
services and to serve as a conduit for feedback between the financial
services ecosystem and W3C. 

The group’s primary activity is fostering and advancing the adoption and
continued development of relevant W3C Working Groups, such as Payments,
Privacy, Identity, and Security. The group will primarily collaborate on
developing use cases and adopting new technologies specific to the
financial services industry. 

The  Financial Services BG also collaborates with W3C Members, Chapters,
and Staff to sponsor and advance additional activities that help lead
the Web to its full potential for Financial Services (events, webinars,
training, marketing, and promotion, etc.).

Group participants and key stakeholders in the financial services
ecosystem include banks, credit unions, insurance companies, investment
firms, and non-bank financial institutions. Additionally, regulatory
bodies, fintech companies, customers (individuals and businesses), and
employees of these institutions play critical roles in shaping the
ecosystem.

This group will not publish Specifications.
