The hard reality of Brexit

Interesting you mention that SOME banks and brokers are taking action on planning for a range of options That means that some are not. One wonders when the Banks, Insurers and other Financial companies will be up front with the state of play in their businesses. I'm sure investors would be interested, along with a few of the politicians. Or do they know something we don't?

The pound will not be round, or maybe around, for much longer

What a hoot! I've been in retail payments in one form or another since the early 1970's and I have read with decreasing interest and belief of the 'death of cash' and the 'cashless society' during this time. It's a pipe dream. And who was the sample? probably all Londoners and under 30 years of age. Out here in the wilds of west Wales cash is still important, either as notes or coins, and is likely to stay so for a long time yet. You'll probably have to dig me up to tell me that the 'cahless society' has arrived.

Brexit good for UK FinTech

About posting anonymosly, sorry, I did not intend to. I still think this [article] is just a political diatribe of worthless merit. And it seems like nobody in the know supports it.
