This morning I went to my bank to get information about opening a business account. When I made the appointment I stated clearly that this was a fact finding exercise. The first thing I was asked when I arrived at the bank was to fill out a form. This is how the conversation went:
"Why?"
A slightly condescending reply: " We need your details in order for us to open the account."
"I'm not ready to open an account. I just want information."
A baffled: "Oh."
My question is this: When you get married and you pick out a wedding dress, do you walk into the first store you find and take the dress you are offered even though it sits a little loose on the waist and barely reaches your ankles? No, you go to at least five different stores and try on as many dresses as possible until you find the right one.
Why should opening a bank account be any different?
