This is a a fair interview. I expected it to be more controversial in some senses - your views are clear and the focus on the opportunites that bankers have creates a real sense of energy. Thanks for the red hot ginger. While some might think you are being critical it is clear that actually you are quite rightly challenging us to do even better.
Thank you
The intention is not to wind up but to provide a constructive dialogue. Thanks for your observations

I think that more people in the banking industry should listen to this. Nothing that we don't know about already. All very reasonable form the customer's point of view.
This is a very interesting interview, not least because Craven actually understands the two sides of the coin. Maybe three sides.
1) He is a bank customer and has been for a number of years.
2) He has trained up bankers
3) He is someone who works with the banks now to help interface with thier clients.
This may be a unique position.
My point: Listen to what he has to say. Do not defend or poo poo his point of view. It is more than just a little but relevant and valid.
This is a fair description of the audio.
Yes there are huge opportunities that bankers need to take on board despite their background systems and processes. What Craven does is highlight how we can deliver even better value for our customers (and our shareholders).
Enjoyed the interview. Can't believe that bankers are ingnoring this basic stuff. Why do you think that is?
