Ex-Bank of America from
the banking sector.
Due to regulatory restrictions, Bank Am was not
permitted to open additional branches at will.
Traditional banking wisdom was that in order to
grow, they needed to open more branches. How,
then, could this dichotomy be reconciled? How
could they grow with just the four branches that
they currently had?
Led by Tony Singh, the Bank Am retail business
team successfully challenged a plethora of market
paradigms to register phenomenal growth. They
focused their sales efforts on small businessmen
with large dealings in cash. They initiated the
‘cash channel’, whereby small businessmen
could deposit their daily collections in the bank
at the end of business hours everyday, seven days
a week. As a result of this initiative, Bank Am
registered quantum growth in business from 1995–1998.
