I've never particularly liked bankers.

People in retail banks are not smart. They have a business model that's quite difficult to not make money out of - but still they somehow manage it.

Of course, bankers were always interested in making money. But when bankers had clients, they bore some responsibility for the clients' welfare.

I think bankers will always get away with whatever they can get away with.

Banks are run by executives, and executives protect themselves, and that does not always mean that banks are going to behave rationally.

I avoid banks and I've never been in any sort of corporate environment at all.

When I started the business, only banks operated at airports, only banks issued travellers' cheques, only banks issued international payments, only banks serviced their own branch networks.

Is there anyone I wouldn't take as a client? Well, I'd never represent a banker.
