Wingspan exec leaves
from the Another-one-bites-the-dust dept
The CEO of Wingspan.com has announced his resignation at the end of the year. Wingspan.com is an off-shoot of BankOne, and is a totally "online" bank. The article points out that BankOne took a different tact than the likes of Wells Fargo and BofA by creating an entire new brand for online banking. This was their mistake as far as I'm concerned. I haven't spoken to a teller in years, but I love the fact that if I need to, a Wells Fargo branch is right around the corner. The online only banks can't compete with that.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
