https://transfin.in/what-are-neobanks-in-india-revolution-in-banking-in-india

Neobanks are primarily digital-first branchless banks providing a host of financial services.

The concept first surfaced in the UK after the 2008 financial crisis. Historically, the banking sector in the UK has been dominated by a very small number of large banks. Prior to the crisis, setting up a bank in the UK was an extremely expensive and long-winded process. So much so that when Metro Bank was issued a license in 2010, it was the first to do so in a 100 years!

Openwork Holdings has appointed Anne Grim and Rosanne Murison to its board as non-executive directors.

"Grim, who will also chair the Risk and Compliance Committee, again subject to regulatory approval, has recently joined Metro Bank as a board director and brings more than 30 years’ experience in senior financial services leadership roles at Barclays, Wells Fargo, American Express, Mastercard and most recently as chief customer officer at Fidelity International. Her expertise is in customer experience, strategic planning and execution, technology innovation and business transformation.

Andy Smart, chair of OHL said: “The appointments of Anne and Rosanne strengthen Openwork’s leadership team at a strategically important time as we continue the development and growth of the business over the coming months and years. I look forward to welcoming both to the board and working closely with them to continue the Openwork success story.”

Grim added: “It is a great privilege to be joining the OHL board at such an important time. I have been enormously impressed by the business and look forward to working with Openwork’s management to ensure they can deliver their ambitious growth strategy.”

Mr JimD Sir, do you suggest the scent of treats has brought in the ways and strays to mooch off the crumbs which falls from the master's table?

lol - keep flogging the dead horse.

2 x PMEs

arrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, the mut of auld syphilis cyber? had we not deserted the pooch in the valley of broken bones? the socks must have revived its spirit with a flagon of voleon's best.

a fate worse than death awaits at the end of the long plank for those walking short with hands tied on volume

Aaaarrrrgggghhhh, mind yer timbers don't shiver like a mankini clad snowman. exotic climates you say? set sail ! set sail, I say !
Avast ye , scallawag deckhands have escaped from the bowels of the lower green box plotting a mutiny. their hands appear to bare the mark of the great bear's beastly doubloons.

arrrrr, me old ship Metro has but five (maybe six) anchors to lift, and methinks that new propulsion system might just snap the chains. who knows, in the current covid mist, there might be another poirate crew lurking in yonder caves of the 52 week ave which might climb those chains and drop anchors in one mighty fight.

aarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, yon stories of auld tell ye "x" marks the spot. according to my glass eye, our rum stained chart puts us upon the golden cross and across the trend river to the point of no shorter may return. our fair maiden metro has been to davey jones locker and now time to put three spreadsheets to the wind.

for further short reduction. talk about opportune moment.

Take yonder look over starboard bow and call if 500p shivers yer timbers

finishing a NZ Sauvignon blanc , so sorry, just teasing.. ..

sorry, i am playing the idiot card, but how could the SP reach £10 under "new ownership"? surely new ownership implies that the company is off market ?? or do you mean share4share reverse takeover or something like that ??

matlot, surely you are not advising leaving 100o view oooout ? ;)

why they don't just put the squeeze on the shorts.

- aside from them being in on it!

big blue day?

think odey has done well to get 0.3% out sub 110p
