Abstract
In the last years many solutions have been presented as the silver bullet to enhance the IT - Information Technology - of the financial institutions.

The work analyzes the potential benefits and the challenges involved in the adoption and diffusion of web services in the financial industry, utilizing academic research and examples of current use of web services, to try to derive the basis to their adoption in the next years.
