I tried this method and it did freeze the application until it finished
as expected. I think in the long run I will have to make some progress
dialogue that can get displayed while fetching banks - unless anyone
knows a driver that does this already tbat I can steal the code from?
But I don't want to do this yet while Joe is still working on his UI
refactoring. So I think for now I will leave the bank driver alone and
come back to it in the future.
