Reuters – UK’s Nationwide Eyes RBS Branches

Posted on: November 27, 2012 by reuters-newsNo Comments »

UK financial services group Nationwide is interested in bidding for 316 branches being sold by Royal Bank of Scotland to speed up its expansion into lending to small and medium-sized businesses, writes Reuters. A 1.65-billion-pound ($2.6 billion) deal to sell the branches collapsed last month after Spanish bidder Santander said the process of carving out the business had proved more difficult than expected, writes Reuters.
