The government has shared its plans for banking reform, following its much anticipated report into banking culture. But will the Chancellor’s reforms make sure banks work for customers, not bankers?

Are George Osborne’s plans to fix banking enough?

29
Picture of a pound coin

George Osborne has officially branded 2013 ‘the year of change in our banking system’ in his speech launching the Banking Reform Bill. But do the reforms really go far enough?

Under pressure: the stark reality of your bank’s sales culture

76
A large target with an arrow in the middle

Many banks have promised to focus on their customer services over sales. So we surveyed more than 500 front-line bank staff to find out if the pressure to sell still pervades the culture in the big five banks.

The state of banking culture – what do you think?

The banking industry needs to make a Big Change if it’s going to regain your trust. To highlight the depth of the problem, I’ve rounded up some of your comments and suggestions on Britain’s broken banking.

Would you like a [loan] with that [transaction]?

2

Picture this. You walk into a fast food restaurant, ask for a tasty burger to sate your appetite, and the assistant asks you if you want fries with that? Upselling like this is pretty harmless, until it’s done badly by your bank.

In bankers we’ve lost trust

11

Consumer trust has all but gone from the banking industry as our research shows you’d put estate agents, builders and accountants above bankers in terms of trust. What can the banks do to regain your trust?

Could this be the turning point for real change in banking?

30
Bank signs

The government will today respond to the Independent Commission on Banking’s (ICB) recommendations to reform the banks. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity, but banks shouldn’t wait to treat their customers well.

Banks – keep our money out of your risky investments

7
Wall of money

Would you prefer banks didn’t intertwine ‘your’ money with risky investment banking activity? We think your money should be protected, and today the government backed our idea.

Your voices were heard at our banking event

6
Speech bubble drawn in pencil

Last night we sat down with consumers as they shared their views on banking. One comment got a huge round of applause. Was it ‘scrap bankers’ bonuses’, ‘give us £100 to switch accounts’ or something else?

Banks should stop complaining about tough reform

11
Banker asking for help

We want to know how your bank could be better

23
