Anonymous Answer
My exposure to the banking industry has come from conversations with my father, who spent 25 years in the investment and banking industries, and through articles he has shared with me. I also have banking connections on Linked In, and I stay up to date on the information posted there. Most of all, my experience as a consumer has shaped my views of the banking industry. I am a PNC customer who uses a debit card, but I am also a heavy user of Venmo. Sometimes I find myself asking friends about their experiences with banking, and it is interesting to see how young people view banking and money

This is a strong beginning, and I appreciate the personal aspect of your response. However, it focuses primarily on opinions or informal information. Consider strengthening your response further by telling the interviewer about any specific formal publications, regulatory sources, or industry associations you read, monitor, or participate in to ensure you're staying current as the industry evolves.
