{"product_id":"9781448131723","title":"Bank of Dave: How I Took On the Banks","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe global financial system is in crisis, bankers are in disrepute and Britain is on the brink of a double-dip recession. Now one man, fed up with never-ending tales of greed and corruption, sets out to prove that there is a different way of doing things - by opening his own bank to help inject much-needed life into local businesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDave Fishwick is a self-made, straight-talking man from Burnley who hates the banks. Published to tie in with a Channel 4 series of the same name, this is the story of his attempt to set up a simple, no-nonsense bank that actually cares about its customers. Dave plans to put hundreds of thousands of pounds of his own money into the enterprise; he will offer his customers a far better rate of interest than they get on the high street; he will lend to struggling local businesses that the banks don't want to know about; and he aims to bring the Bank of Dave into profit within 180 days. If he succeeds, he'll give whatever he makes to charity. If he fails, he'll make a terrible loss and ruin his hard-earned reputation as a successful businessman.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCan one man really take on the banking giants and make a real difference to local businesses and his community? Dave Fishwick certainly hopes so.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ebury Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134720327920,"sku":"9781448131723","price":18.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781448131723_p0.jpg?v=1763826534","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781448131723","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
