A few days ago, by advice of my accountant, I made an appointment with TD Waterhouse Private Client Banking. I had some borrowing needs, and was hoping to get a good rate and a painless application approval. Once we were past the usual social pleasantries, the conversation didn?t quite go the way I was expecting. Two very professional, elegant young women through their inquiring tried not only to learn about my income and net worth but were genuinely interested in my goals, circumstances and future financial health. To my bewilderment they used the term ?holistic banking? to describe their services. Wait a minute ? shouldn?t the word ?holistic? be used in reference to aromatherapy, yoga and herbal teas? Well, if you think of it, not really.

According to Webster dictionary holistic means: relating to or concerned with wholes or with complete systems rather than with the analysis of, treatment of, or dissection into parts.

In today?s society of fast food, shopping malls and 24hr banking, there is a growing segment of the population seeking personalized attention and quality of service rather than a bargain, free parking or cookie cutter approach.

More and more individuals are looking for attention to their unique needs and feel they deserve more ?holistic? treatment. This is especially valid when it comes to service as opposed to commodity. Let me explain the difference in little more detail.
