Let's just hope this transfer goes a lot more smoothly.

    I would like to hope RBS have learnt some valuable lessons from the last time.

    This has been on the cards a while. Thankfully nothing like the doomed Santander deal and hopefully something genuinely new on the High Street. We shall see....

    I assume the failed Santander transfer.
  • I have never heard of Williams and Glyn's they were last on the high street over 30 years ago. Did anyone ever bank with them?

    They were my first bank after school. They were one of the best around at the time. I only moved from them as there were so few branches, and back then without ATMs that as more of a problem then now. Sadly, as with TSB, reviving an old name doesn't mean a revival of the old standards.
