Following last week's news that Origami Bank had folded, we are hearing that Sumo Bank has gone belly up, and Bonsai Bank plans to cut back some of its branches. Karaoke Bank is up for sale and is (you guessed it) going for a song.
Meanwhile, shares in Kamikaze Bank have nose-dived and 500 back-office staff at Karate Bank got the chop. While Mitsubishi and Kawasaki Banks seemed to be accelerating promotions and engineering a new sales vehicle, analysts report that there is something fishy going on at Sushi Bank and the staff there fear they may get a raw deal.
