As young entrepreneurs-- what would you want from your business credit card?
Also, does networking matter to us? I mean, do we have the time for it.
I guess it should matter...

I'm trying to figure out how banks are going to evolve over the next 10 years or so... what do you guys think?

I'm putting together a research study proposal and would LOVE your inputs.

ps- I am starting a trend-spotting business of my own.

Well banks in the next 10 years may not evolve but they will keep making break through profits yr after yr so my advice is put some shares in some

Networking does matter I have got work experience at a few companies which would not of gone through if I did not take time out to meet these people with my friends and family.

As for as a business credit card? ummmmm credit for my business

Have you ever been into the Washington Mutuals? There banks are pretty cool (I am sure other banks are doing it).

But they have seperated the desks into seperate sections for each banker and you can stand right beside them, see the screen if need. A much friendlier feel (at first, I thought it was not much different). But after waiting in line at an older style bank, I thought of WAMU (which is what they want I'm sure).

Credit Card wise, I think reward programs. Also online management.

I have checking and saving accounts with WAMU, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, ING Direct and US Bank.

I love that BofA lets me do bank-to-bank transfers online. I also love that I can see pictures of checks, with my signature and all that.

Online System wise (I would rate the following):
1. BofA
2. Wells Fargo
3. Wamu
4. US Bank
5. ING Direct

Personal bankers will also become more popular. With Wells Fargo I have a personal banker, meaning, if I need something she is my bank contact. She has all the account info. She will come and pick up my deposits or bring me money from my account if I ask. Fills out forms, picks what service is best... etc. This eliminates all that crap when you are having a problem and over the course of a week you are talking to 5 different people, explaing your situation everytime.

0% interest

for it to be connected to a bottomless pit of money

I agree that great interest rates and less hassles are number one in picking a credit card.
Also, Im thinking-- how cool would it be if my credit card company offers me the chance to network with other like minded entrepreneurs!! I'd have an additional reason to be with my bank.

Do you guys think something like that will ever happen? Or is it happening anywhere already...
