Executive blog
Welcome to my blog. I am GM of RaboPlus, the DIY Online Banking service from Rabobank and I am writing this blog to hear from you about how we are going, any gripes you might have, things that we are working on (it is always good to hear your views) but particularly things that we may be able to do better.

So don't be shy, please post back your comments to my regular ramblings and send me any questions you have about online banking, investments, investing and about RaboPlus, and I will respond regularly.
