Maybe he can, but I've never seen or heard about a bank doing anything like this. I'd be fine with a bank tailoring their products to fit my needs better (I have spectacular credit scores, good salary and quite modest credit needs from time to time, which would be very easy and safe for a bank to serve if they were interested) - but that never ever happens. I get surveiled up to wazoo, get tracked on every site I visit - and the dream of "personally tailored services" that I've been told about for over a decade now is still nowhere here. What the heck are they doing with this information? Sell it to each other to serve me poorly targeted ads which I block anyway? Eventually leak it to criminals so that they can sell me credit monitoring services? Sell it to politicians which try to convince me to vote for some guy who I never heard of but immediately hate once they start talking about him? Seriously, what that whole industry is doing and could it do at least a little to provide some useful stuff? I mean, if you killed my privacy (or at least tried very hard to), can I please get at least some spoils from it?
