4.0 out of 5 stars Foundation for Banking by Jameson Thottam

3.0 out of 5 stars Basic Banking
I purchased this book to gain a better understanding of the industry as a whole. It served it's purpose! I am new to working in banking and I will have to learn how my bank operates, but now I can ask the right questions to speed up the process.

This review is from: Business Banking (Paperback)
This is a starting foundation for entering banking (specifically when I joined IndyMac Bank). When I joined retail banking (previously only having worked in Investment Banking at Morgan Stanley) I was able to expand my knowledge on various areas of the retail banking beyond just what I-Banking had taught (e.g.,, valuation, SEC II & SEC III stat techniques, tax implications and flippying and insider trading tips of how to find/negotiate the best properties).

I would highly recommend this book to others in this field.

4.0 out of 5 stars Basic introduction to banking, April 30, 2002
This review is from: Banking (Barron's Business Library) (Paperback)
Includes a lot of information about banking but not in much detail. A handy reference afterall. But for the folks who want more in depth knowledge into banking, go for a larger volume.

This review is from: Business Banking (Paperback)
This little book is a treasure of practical information for the small business owner in finding the right bank and the right banker and then pitching the right loan on the right terms. Has instructions on everything you need to do and takes the mystery out of how bankers think and make decisions.
