This course exceeded my expectations. As a financial advisor, I thought I knew banking well, but David's insights on fee structure engineering and interest rate optimization revealed strategies I'd never considered. I've already implemented several techniques with my high-net-worth clients, who are thrilled with the results. The advanced bank comparison tools alone are worth the price of admission.

As a small business owner managing substantial cash flow, I needed sophisticated banking solutions. This course gave me the expertise to negotiate with banks from a position of knowledge. Using David's fee negotiation scripts, I secured waived fees across all our business accounts and improved our interest earnings by 1.2% annually. That's thousands in savings for my business! The multi-bank optimization module was particularly valuable.

I've taken several banking courses, but this one is truly advanced and worth every penny. The section on institutional stability analysis helped me avoid a bank that later had significant issues. David's background as an investment banker really shines through in the quality and depth of content. The interest rate optimization spreadsheet is now my go-to tool for managing my family's accounts. This course pays for itself many times over.
