Interesting… An issue with #publicBanking is how to choose who to lend to but a #nonLendingBank takes away that problem.

A novel idea!

We've been saying for some time that to remain relevant in 21st century #banks could act more as a #recruitment service. They can aim to help a person find meaningful work — good for bank and #jobSeeker.

Also we think they should become #keystores for public #encryption keys.

Would that fit with your vision? If you don't mind, what country are you in?

Please see (#)bankAccounts.

Almost two months ago we learned Cloudflare'd banks are blocking selected individuals from access. Its especially troubling given **most of our banks are now Cloudflare**!

We need #banks that respect people.

That starts with banks serving their data themselves and ditching #Cloudflare. It extends to banks becoming #keyStores for #publicKeys (for ssl *and* for #eepsites).
