Why do banks appear to be the villains?

The banking world is often portrayed as a grim and daunting sector of the economy, painted by broad strokes of skepticism and mistrust.

But is this portrayal accurate?

4 years ago, I ventured into creating a startup based entirely on providing accurate information about banks.

Little did I know that it would lead not only to an exciting entrepreneurial journey but also to a profound understanding of perceived villains.

A bank isn't just a financial entity.

It's an institution that serves as a pillar for many aspects of life - from personal savings to business investments.

Bankers are people too.

However, communication breakdowns and misunderstandings can foster animosity.

That's where our mission fits in - bridging the gap between banks and people. Banks and businesses.

I have seen first-hand how understanding the world from the perspective of a banker can empower individuals, businesses, and communities.

We need to remember the human element in finance.

Banks are not villains; they are complex organizations that require understanding.

So next time you hear someone vilifying your local bank or investment firm, take a step back to view it from another angle.

💡 Let’s stop just collecting data. Let’s start making it work for us. Let’s transform banking, together. 💡
