Bigger, stronger, more trustworthy banks

THIRD LIBREA

I attended a seminar last week where one of the topics was about integrity. The speaker presented a slide showing a public survey that placed bankers among the bottom ranks in terms of perceived integrity, just above politicians and below lawyers. It is, indeed, a strange state of affairs when the people you trust with your money are perceived by many to be lacking in integrity. Perhaps, there is too much focus on profit and return-on-investment rather than on building trust.
