A Culture of Compliance…sure we have that. That’s what everyone says. But do you really? It’s not just about talking the talk, but walking the walk too.

My love affair with Santander began many years ago when I started meeting some of their amazing people at the start of my journey of selling them Meniga's PFM. Over time many of those people became friends because it's hard to resist bankers with such astoundingly large hearts. Don't get me wrong, most banks have a contingent of great minds and fi...
