Forster said the change follows the

traditions of the branch banking system,
developed over a period of more than a
century, don't lend themselves properly to
fulfilling the needs of our customers in this

computerized age."
"There was a day when the manager of a
bank branch could be all things to all people
but life in today's fast lane is a lot more
complicated and it has become too much to
expect a superior level of skills for each and
every face of today's banking needs."
Forster said it wasn't too difficult to
establish that there are two distinct seg-
ments to banking in Canada, the commercial
sector and, with vastly different needs, the
personal banking sector.
"At the Bank of Montreal, we reasoned
that by separating these two functions we
would be able to bring more expertise,
specialization and professionalism to the
banking service we provide for our custom-
ers."
But Forster pointed out that while
commercial and personal banking are separ-
ate, under the Bank of Montreal's CHU
concept customers do not have to change
branches for their day-to-day banking busi-
ness, a point. he said, that sets the Bank of
Montreal's program apart from others.
The CHU comes into play where commer-
cial credit, the annual account review, or
non-credit services are involved. Even then,
Forster explained, "the client retains the
choice -- he can either come to see us at our
Unit or one of our managers will visit him."
In the branches, one of the changes will
have the manager no longer behind closed
doors but out on the banking floor closer to
customers, where the manager can do
marketing of personal banking products in a
more professional manner. The manager's
private office will become a conference room
for customers with confidential business to
transact.
But Forster said "the biggest change you
will see in your bank branch is a perceptible
upgrading in the level of service and
individual advice from the manager and
from the customer service personnel to
which you will now have direct access,
"This is because, relieved of the commer-
cial lending and portfolio administration
chores, the branch manager and staff will
now be able to concentrate on providing you
with the best personal banking service in
Canada."
Lucknow branch manager is Dorothy
Brintnell.
