An unexpectedly hilarious look at the banking industry, Banking Lite reminds readers that at the end of the day, financial institutions are really all about the people. Written by lifelong banker Bert Harris, this engaging memoir chronicles a career's worth of odd encounters, mild chaos, and forehead-slapping mix-ups. After swapping entertaining stories with a colleague, Harris realized the inherent appeal of workplace absurdities. This inspired him to write a book, which would ultimately remind audiences that, despite the never ending focus on giant banking conglomerates that seems to dominate the news in our current times, the business of banking is actually a very personal and people-oriented process. Because of this fact, it is only natural that a career in such an industry would yield such human-and hilarious-stories. A rare glimpse into the personal side of an often dehumanized industry, Banking Lite follows Harris's career from his time as a fresh college graduate working in bookkeeping at a local bank to his eventual purchase of First National Bank of Greybull in Wyoming at the tender age of twenty-eight. Forced to sell only fifteen years later, Harris went on to hold a variety of positions within the banking sector, including as a management agent and a government loan products specialist. Through it all, Harris managed to keep his sense of humor alive. The resulting compilation of amusing tales from the lives of both bankers and their customers makes for the most entertaining banking book audiences will ever read
