But at the same time it often turns out to be meaningful and even insightful. Russian banks are becoming correct and boring. The first generation of self-taught people is leaving the banking business, and with them goes the mystery of how those who did not study banking or studied it incorrectly managed to do a successful business without experience, knowledge, regulations and corporate culture. “Banking Secrecy” not only reveals the secrets of some aspects of the bank’s activities that are unknown to its clients, but also shows that a bank is not only a place, but also the people who work in it and with whom a wide variety of stories can happen - simple and meaningful , educational and fun. The main character of "Banking Secrets", vice-president of the bank Andrei Gardezi, considers his main concern not money, not services, not papers, not technology, but people with whom any manager needs to learn to deal first of all.
