    Business Banking Service Quality - Great Britain

    Business banking service quality - Great Britain Independent service quality survey results Business current accounts Published August 2019 As part of a regulatory requirement, an independent survey was conducted to ask customers of the 14 largest business current account providers if they would recommend their provider to other small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs*). The results represent the view of customers who took part in the survey. These results are from an independent survey carried out between July 2018 and June 2019 by BVA BDRC as part of a regulatory requirement, and we have published this information at the request of the providers and the Competition and Markets Authority so you can compare the quality of service from business current account providers. In providing this information, we are not giving you any advice or making any recommendation to you. SME customers with business current accounts were asked how likely they would be to recommend their provider, their provider’s online and mobile banking services, services in branches and business centres, SME overdraft and loan services and relationship/account management services to other SMEs. The results show the proportion of customers of each provider who said they were ’extremely likely’ or ‘very likely’ to recommend each service. Participating providers: Allied Irish Bank (GB), Bank of Scotland, Barclays, Clydesdale Bank, Handelsbanken, HSBC UK, Lloyds Bank, Metro Bank, NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland, Santander UK, The Co-operative Bank, TSB, Yorkshire Bank. Approximately 1,200 customers a year are surveyed across Great Britain for each provider; results are only published where at least 100 customers have provided an eligible score for that service in the survey period.

    Peter Sands Group Chief Executive 5 June 2012 Governor Erkki Liikanen High-level Expert Group on Bank Structure By email: [email protected] EC Representative Register ID number: 16595501800-80 Dear Governor Liikanen Consultation on the structure of the EU banking sector Please find enclosed Standard Chartered‟s response to your call for evidence on bank structural reform. Our response seeks to answer the questions from your consultation and sets out our concerns about the idea of bank structural reform, especially in the current economic climate, and how this could pose a significant risk to the European banking sector. In particular we would like to highlight the following three points: a. There is no compelling case for structural reform and some strong counter- arguments. Large and universal bank structures do not necessarily equal complex and risky structures; indeed there is no empirical evidence to suggest that the existence and structure of universal banks contributed to the financial crisis. Risky business models which failed encompassed retail banks, universal banks and investment banking models. Structural reforms that create more concentrated business model and risk profiles and greater homogeneity across the sector are likely to increase systemic risks. Structural reforms organised around national or EU boundaries will encourage „financial protectionism‟ and create impediments to cross- border trade and investment. b. Proposing further structural reform will increase the stress and systemic risks in the European banking sector. There are significant risks associated with seeking to undertake a reform of the structure of the European banks, whilst economic crisis is gripping the Union and when banks are already grappling with the most significant regulatory reforms in decades.

    Change of Name Faqs

    Change of name FAQs On 14 February 2020, The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc (the Group) announced its intention to change the Group’s company name from ‘The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc’ to ‘NatWest Group plc’. It’s anticipated that the name change will become effective later in 2020. 1. Why is the Group changing its name? Given the Group’s progress, the solid financial footing it is now on and the forward- looking customer focused strategy it is implementing, the Board considers this the right time for the Group name to reflect the brand under which the majority of its business is delivered: NatWest. 2. What will happen to the ordinary and/or preference shares I currently hold in the Group? The ordinary and/or preference shares you currently hold in the Group (‘RBS shares’) will continue to exist once the name is legally changed, but the RBS shares will become shares in NatWest Group plc. There will be no change to nominal value or structure of your shareholding as a result of the change of name. 3. What will happen to the share price? This is a legal name change. The share price is influenced by many factors and can go up as well as down. 4. Will I receive a new share certificate? If you hold your RBS shares in certificated form, you won’t receive a new share certificate in the new company name; your existing share certificate(s) will remain valid. Any share certificates issued following the legal change of name will be in the name of NatWest Group plc.
