The Fairer Finance podcast

What's going on at the Financial Ombudsman Service?/ The future of the UK banking sector

Season 1 Episode 3

In this episode, we take a look at what's been going on at the Financial Ombudsman Service - with both the CEO and Chair announcing their departure within a few days of each other. The recent FOS/FCA call for input into the UK consumer redress system has also just closed. What changes might we expect to see?

In the second half of the episode, we take a look at the recent corporate activity in the banking sector and take a look ahead to how the sector might evolve over the next few years. Nationwide recently bought Virgin Money, and Coventry Building Society has now completed its acquisition of the Co-operative Bank. Meanwhile, rumours abound that Santander is up for sale, and TSB may also soon find itself in play. So who's winning the battle of the UK banks?
