Tim Macer's research technology blog The Economist recently ran an article on “Big Data” in its special report on International Banking.

The newspaper explains this paradox thus: banks with a denser branch network tend to do better, so adding more branches is rewarded by more business. But it’s business on the bank’s terms, not necessarily the customer’s.
