In March 2009, I started tracking the financial institutions (FIs) on twitter(only 54 accounts back then!). It will always be a work in progress, soplease don’t hesitate to get back to me to flag any missing initiatives.

On regular basis, I share some of those key stats and insights with you, my blog readers, my twitter followers, and my facebook fans, and provide some second-to-none recommendations to my clients.
