💡 According to a UK survey, banks close 142,000 new accounts annually. ⏩ According to an ongoing #investigation by the cross-party Treasury Committee in Britain, eight of the major banks in the nation closed around 142,000 small company accounts in the past year due to worries that certain enterprises were having trouble obtaining #financing. ⏩ According to data provided by Barclays, HSBC, TSB, Lloyds, Santander, NatWest, Metro, and #Handelsbanken, 2.7% of the 5.3 million business accounts owned by small businesses were closed due to risks associated with taking on new ventures and worries about financial crime. ⏩ Treasury Committee Chair Harriett Baldwin stated in a statement, "We can see from these figures that thousands of small #businesses fall foul of their bank's risk appetite definition, leaving them without access to a bank account." Out of 4,214 cases, just three banks cited "risk appetite" as a rationale for account closure. To share your startup story write us on - contact@startuprise.co.uk #bank #uk #financialcrime #bussiness

#Shares in Lloyds Banking Group PLC (LSE:LLOY) are up around 1.1% after #MorganStanley named it as its top UK banking pick. “Deposit mix migration has slowed down during Q3, which could make 4Q [net interest margins] less bad than feared and provides better visibility for 2024.” “We re-iterate our positive view on UK banks, and see Lloyds Bank as Top Pick.” For #Lloyds, the broker forecast [net interest margin] would fall 6 basis points quarter-on-quarter to 3.02% in-line with company guidance and consensus. For 2024, it predicts a 2.94% NIM which is also consistent with the guidance of "below 3%". It estimates a £500 million provision release related to the write-back of the Telegraph debt in December, which leads it to raise its share buyback expectations from £2 billion to £2.5 billion, higher than consensus at £2.2 billion.

💡 The Bank of England's latest stress test reveals that the UK’s top lenders, including HSBC, Barclays, Lloyds Banking Group and NatWest, can be safely dismantled in a crisis without taxpayer #bailouts. “Our assessment gives further reassurance that if a major UK bank were to fail today, it could enter resolution safely,” said the BoE. 🏦 However, there are areas for improvement, particularly for Standard Chartered. As BoE Deputy Governor Dave Ramsden emphasised, “resolvability will never be done.” 🔗 https://lnkd.in/efyya4Us 🔍 #Banking #Finance #Leadership #Resolvability #RiskManagement #UKEconomy

It's never the large corporations and institutions the ones affected by crisis, either financial or cost of living 'Major banks made a profit of more than £9bn from the Bank of England’s money-printing programme last year. Four large high street lenders were paid £9.3bn in interest on reserves parked at Threadneedle Street last year, more than double the £3.9bn they were handed in 2022. Losses suffered by the Bank of England are ultimately borne by the taxpayer. The payments are largely a legacy of quantitative easing, where the Bank pumped newly created money into the economy during the financial crisis and Covid pandemic. Threadneedle Street used this money to buy bonds, typically from high street banks, who then parked the cash in Bank of England accounts where it earns interest.' Rising rates have driven up profits for the banks as a result. In correspondence with MPs on the Treasury Select Committee, NatWest revealed it was paid £2.9bn last year, Lloyds Banking Group £3.6bn, Santander £1.9bn and Barclays £1.9bn.
