Your banker works 66. .AS a depositor or borrower, you value privacy in money matters. Your banker protects that privacy. Your banking transactions are not open to the eyes and ears of your competitor, your neighbor, your community. In other words, the Manager of your branch bank and his whole staff are working for you. Contrast this Canadian way with conditions in lands where freedom is denied—where every bank is a political tool, every banker a public official working for the State! State monopoly of banking, proposed by Socialists here, would open your banking transactions to political intrusion. SPONSORED BY YOUR R BANK
