Rob MacGregor, Unite national officer said: “This move by Santander to buy 318 Royal Bank of Scotland branches is yet another nail in the coffin of the diverse financial services sector which consumers have long benefited from. Simply on the basis of market competition on the high street this sale is bad news.



“Santander already owns branches of Abbey National, Alliance & Leicester and Bradford & Bingley, there is a danger that soon British customers will only have one provider to choose from. Where does this daily consolidation in the sector leave the Con-Dem government’s commitment to a diverse financial services industry?”
