Interesting. I'm a UI/UX guy interviewing for positions. HSBC just presented me with a design challenge. Design and simplify the providian.com sign up process for an online account. Incorporating this into the process would go over well for the end user. One aspect of my UI/UX design is to allow the new bank to login and request all of the transactional data from the old bank, thus populating the new account right away with current data.

DiTech, Lending Tree, e-Loan, Quicken, and a slew of other ‘e-Lenders’ have created convenient web-sites to exploit and facilitate the deceptive nature and huge revenue streams of the mortgage industry.Selling inflated rates that pay huge premiums at the expense of the consumer is still the name of the game and these guys are doing it more efficiently www.chase.com than ever.E-lenders are likely to be much more expensive than a local mortgage brokerage or bank. Most of them are mortgage bankers (also called Direct Lenders), who have the very special privilege of not being required to disclose all fees associated with obtaining a mortgage.

Hey Josh,

Check out this site that a friend of mine started http://www.predatorix.com/. His family dealt with the banking world in a far too intimate way for far too long.
