OakStar Bank’s Post

Being part of the Commerce team is something I’ve been thankful for (and proud of!) time and time again. The culture of Commerce is really something special and I would love for you to join me. There are so many opportunities for you to learn, grow and be the best version of yourself here. If you consider yourself a “people person,” there’s a place for you at Commerce! Being a Personal Banker could be a perfect fit if this sounds like you: • Curiosity: Interacting with people in all walks of life is easy and you can talk to anyone and find common ground. • Solutions Oriented: You take on new opportunities with a can-do attitude. • Customer Focus: You can build strong relationships, ask questions, and listen attentively. • Collaboration: Partnering with others, meeting shared goals, and sharing knowledge is how you thrive. • Flexibility: You excel when every day is different. If that sounds good to you, come grow with me and the Commerce team!

Tesco is not exiting financial services, it is merely letting its bank go. One thing in particular caught my eye: 'The Tesco Bank brand is not expected to form part of any transaction, with the rights to use the name licensed by the supermarket giant which owns the business.' It looks like Tesco remains in love with the concept of 'Tesco Bank' but not so much with actually owning and running a fully regulated bank within the group. Why? One reason is that Tesco Bank is a legacy bank with all that comes with it. Anything new financial product the retail arm would want to test before launching to the entire market can actually cost millions and take many months to bring to life. Tesco lives in a world that moves much faster than that. Working with an #embeddedfinance provider, Tesco would be able to be much more nimble and creative in response to market needs. They can still create new revenue streams without the burden of the license and growing capital needs (think CRR3...) You don't need a bank to provide for your customers' unique banking needs #banking #innovation #retail https://lnkd.in/ewmeWBKh

Actions truly speak louder than words. I've worked as a senior manager at the top banks in both the US and UK. As part of the onboarding, you are told about the bank ethos and how much the bank values its clients but it doesn't always show on the frontline. I have always ensured that my team live and breathe a customer-centric mindset. As a business owner, your customer focus needs to be more than just words; you and your employees need to live it. When Metro Bank first entered the UK market, I was skeptical about their stated values. I can honestly say that in my experience, they have demonstrated a true commitment to local businesses. Every year, the local Metro Bank has gone above and beyond to support the East London Business Expo. This shows that from the top down, they are serious about being a disruptor in the banking industry. Thank you Mark Davies for your keynote speech a few years back. 80% of consumers say the experience a company provides is as important as its products or services. Businesses that lead in customer experience outperform those that don't by nearly 80%. #CustomerCentric #BankingInnovation #Leadership #BusinessEthos #UKBanking #USBanking #MetroBank #EastLondonBusinessExpo #DisruptiveBanking #LocalBusinessSupport

This is a real threat to rural #America. Take heed. Where the local and community banks are concerned. The American people should --- Keep it small. Keep it all. Large money center banks "safety and soundness" is merely a taxpayer bail out - yours theirs and everyone else's. That isn't safety and soundness.... that's legalized extortion. It's always easier to steal money from people you have never met and have zero risk of ever meeting in the street or anywhere else for that matter. You're just a number putting up other numbers for an entity that doesn't even know your name, outside of the occasional data breach. The Banks are recruiting Earners. Americans are drinking the Kool Aid and filling these jobs in record numbers. Good little Earners.... the Mafia should be so lucky..... America and Americans lose. Bank local.

PNC consolidating more branches across 5 states — here's where, here's when, how the 2024 cuts add up during the first half of the year and how that compares to 2023. Most in this round are in legacy markets but one state is a newer one and PNC's HQ region is spared. https://lnkd.in/eyBttDGX

Interesting prospects for the challenger banks in the supermarket sector, while Sainsbury's is also looking to exit finance! It'll be intriguing to see how this shift impacts their travel money services. Seems like supermarkets are refocusing on their core food and retail operations. #finance #travelmoney #cashisking
