CITY VIEWS: DO YOU WELCOME THE SELL-OFF OF RBS AND LLOYDS’ BRANCHES?
SANJAY RIJHWANI TOKIO MARINE
“Competition is always a good thing, but I’m concerned as a taxpayer about the price we’ll sell the branches off at. I’m also worried that the big banks might just buy them back in five or so years, after the slump is over.”
ROBERT WEBB CHAUCER
“I’d certainly consider changing my bank – I’ve stayed with the same one for years just due to inertia. I welcome this shake up. When banks get too big to fail it calls into question the whole concept of the free market.”
STEVE RIDDELL CANOPIES
“I like my bank – and am actually still with the last big building society, so wouldn’t be personally affected by the sell-off. That said, reducing the power of the big banks is always a good thing, and I welcome competition.”
