I have been exasperated in the last few years with the insidious efforts of Banks to hide behind computers, terrorism, bank fraud and money laundering to hide the fact that they want to do business online real time internet wise. They would like us to utilise our online terminal rather than our branch. In fact they would like our branch to disappear, and the internet to take over. I recently wrote to two bank Chairmen asking why their online rates for loans were lower than in branch rates for the same loan on the same day. This seemed like leading us by the nose to the internet as our online salvation. That is all very well when the time comes we are all completely online internet computer literate, know exactly which product we want, their online is infallible and your ISP does not have a gloom day, always assuming this steady source of electrics worldwide, not many variables there. Given adverse problems on any of the above and there are insurmountable problems. It is then necessary to walk into your local branch to get it sorted out. Given that it took me some three weeks a few years ago and letter from my Doctor stating that I was of sound mind and not your urban Guerrilla, right for one count anyway, simply to open a straight deposit account, I was a little worried when we had a new manager at my local branch in Birmingham, and I had to negotiate a joint current account opening.
I should have had more faith. A new Bank Account is only so good as the Manager you deal with, sadly I thought that was now solely a computer which told employees what to do, but in my case I actually have my manager like as in an, old style, Ill sort it for you, Branch Manager. Yes they still exist, albeit rarities. I count myself lucky to have the services of a proper Bank Manager, and recently thought I ought to let you all know about this, and if you want more details to email the address below, as Im sure there are many of you out there who remember the old adage, its not the Bank, or the Branch, its the Bank Branch Manager, or in short the Bank Manager is what helps you not the particular Bank.
In any profession there are always the good, and the bad and the other, for want of a better word, but in this case it takes a rare breed of modern manager to rise above the computer and triumph for the customer. I would urge anyone who liked the old style of Bank Branch Manager who helps you when there is a problem with your Bank Account, you know, old fashioned things like help, courtesy, and friendly professional and respected advice, to email the address below for more help on becoming a recipient of good service from a real live Manager, who actually Manages.

As you will be aware by now, I make absolutely nothing monetarily from this website, it is purely here to try and help people avoid charlatans and get in touch with real live honest people, professionals who will help.
When it is not mumbling on about my family of teddy bears.
So the above reference for a real live Manager is no spoof or joke, and I gain nothing directly or indirectly by it whatsoever, but you might well do worse than try out having an account with your branch where you can trust the Manager to fight your corner, and who knows the ins and outs of their computer system backwards.
In this day and age of technological advances taking day to every day things we all used to do out of arms reach, and available only via the telephone or your terminal, there is something quite refreshing about being able to go into your own branch and speak to your own manager face to personal face, without being rejected out of hand for something any ones common sense can tell is quite feasible, just because it is computer generated, operated, controlled and obeyed. I speak after twenty five years in the computer industry, where within current banking I now feel the tail is wagging the dog.
What would happen if the internet crashed due to serious long term electrical failure, either deliberate or due to archaic practices, or a returning ice age, as is predicted. What then all our dependence on the screen as god, and finance hanging on every bit and byte. It would certainly bite back with a real vengeance, and it would be too late now to lament the passing of the physical braches into oblivion. Just as our butchers, grocers, milkmen, scrap merchants and all the trades we are spurning in our rush online, are dead or dying breed, so the branch and the manager will decay and die. Sort of use it or lose it scenario. Personally, I try to use my shops, local trades and local amenities, otherwise they will be mooted as unprofitable and chopped. Then where is the freedom of choice, where is the alternative but electronic domination of our whole lives at monopolised prices. Soon there will be no petrol stations left due to people getting it all at supermarkets. When they are gone, will the supermarkets keep the prices down when they are your only suppliers. I think not, and so with banking. If you want to keep some things for ourselves you have to actively go out and support them, so I urge you to email the above if you wish a better service than your present one in the current situation. That is with a high street bank, but it matters little, it is the manager who is the key to it all, old fashioned integrity and professionalism in a modern person with a very quick, astute business brain, and unusually in todays world, time to listen.
I ran 3i technically as Senior Systems Programmer across the Uk for eight years and I never met anyone better than this manager in all that time, and 3i are no fools when it comes to managing money. Try out a totally new approach today, I did and have nothing but praise, maybe you can benefit too, and not sit fuming while the online tells you no, or a clerk in a branch refuses you because the Computer says so. Why not deal with a gifted human, and leave unstressed, sorted and smiling.
