You Know the Bank
-------- But Does—
The Bank Know you ?
Banks are often asked if such and such a person is reliable,
or entitled to credit. If you are a depositor, the bank knows
your worth and can give you a rating.
Otherwise a bank is
often compelled to withhold a favorable rating purely through
lack of information relative to your financial status.
A bank account is your best endorsement. It stamps you as
a man of affairs
