It still surprises me that Taxis are not making better use of the likes of PayM. Also, aren't mobile type payments cheaper in processing than cash?

When Sir Wim Bischoff attended the Financial Services Club dinner a couple of years back, he was asked about this and he confirmed that the banks would simply charge on any tax - ultimately, it would be another tax on the end user, not the banks.

It's interesting that there is another well know bank (starting letter closely follows that of yours, I believe), who undertake a credit check when an customer wishes to open a deposit account and if the credit check fails then the bank refuses the account. I may be thick (calm down all who know me), but I really don't understand the logic - surely, it is the customer who may wish to do a credit check on the bank as they are lending money rather than the other way round (notwithstanding the reassurances of the guarantees issued by HMG).
