It wasn’t long ago that banking customers would remain loyal for life. That’s not because they were happy with their service – many just didn’t have a choice.

In a post a few weeks ago , I argued that the disclosure process had lost its moorings, as corporate disclosures (annual filings, prospectuses for IPOs) have become more bulky, while also become less informative.
