>>> Bankers have this goofy notion that "control" of the customer is what's important. IBM used to think this way. Control, if there is such a thing, comes only from selling a needed product at a good price today, tomorrow and every day after that.

You are exactly right.

The control concept is illusory. Even the military has abandoned the autocratic control for individual empowerment and mutual respect concept. Microsoft empowers the user. IBM's arcane approach of changing the operating system for mainframes every two years and keeping it from the software developers was their undoing in the computer arena as much as anything else.

CKFR needs to do the same thing; empower the consumer to have personal control over account transactions. Bring the tools to manage their account right to them over the web.
