I watched Dave's programmes and thought 'What a legend'. He is prepared to take on the banking system single handed, when they are all so determined to go against him. Not to mention that he is doing what he is doing, for the good of his local community. Rory Kinnear, as Dave, was spot on – from his accent to his mannerisms, with Dave even saying, “he looks more like me than I do”. Dave's argument is that banking works when it does what it was created to do centuries ago: help grow local economies through direct evaluation of value and risk. He claims, implicitly and sometimes explicitly, that despite "Big Data" and computational analysis, global banks simply don't care about the data that makes solid value/risk decisionmaking possible and useful. He makes a pretty solid evidentiary case, as he describes taking on a series of small businesspeople who'd been rejected for financing by their banks. In his bid to set up a simple, no-nonsense bank that actually cares about its customers, Dave plans to use hundreds of thousands of pounds of his own money. His enterprise 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. Mangan, Lucy (1 March 2013).
