WHICH SERVICES ARE AFFECTED?

Ring-fencing Rules: Which Services are Affected?

UK Bank Structural Reform is taking place right now in time for the January 2019 ring-fencing legislation deadline, but which bank services are affected?

The ring-fencing legislation requires that the largest UK banks ring-fence or legally separate their essential retail banking services from the rest of their banking group. These core services include:

- Accepting deposits or other payments into an account;

- Offering facilities for withdrawing money or making payments from an account; and

- The provision of overdraft facilities
