“Drawing deep into his immense experience, Edwin was able to distill a typically dry topic into its simplest form, keeping with his intent on reaching an audience new to the workings of a bank. Although simply presented, Edwin fleshed out for the readers the core functions of the different roles, and the essential qualities needed for success as an Ultimate Banker. He shares ‘war stories’ to entrench the principles he presented in the book. I will recommend this book to fresh graduates or folks seeking a mid career change into banking.”
