Nate Tobik - Investing in Banks

Eric Schleien interviews Nate Tobik who built http://www.completebankdata.com out of a desire to create actionable insights and new revenue opportunities for banks and investors.

If you are a growing bank that is ambitious and wants to grow market share in your region, completebankdata.com can help you.

Nate is also the author of a great book I just read called: The Bank Investor's Handbook (available in paperback and on Kindle): http://a.co/3qSNjpx
