DC "The farend before the pandemic Lloyds peaked at 65pence December 2019 yielding about 5 per cent"

Evening DC, To be fare Brexit / no deal on the table playing out like blow football using a leave blower...now that the UK has a deal, vaccine the situation is different yet not. I can understand why some feel optimistic now as they have focused on past events that have to some extent been resolved, dealt with.

For me the Lloy SP is the canary in the mineshaft.....this is not over as the fall-out will be devastating for lots of businesses and families...

ASP1, NiRP - case arguments for and against this policy which is probably why it had hung in the air for so long now...
DYOR

NiRP had been on the table for a while and now the Banks had reported back with confirmation it can only be a matter of time before it is implemented...
DYOR

nomlungu, "COBOL still forms the basis of UK Core Banking Systems - the coding was done with no expectation of negative interest rates. It will be quite an operation to make changes to accommodate negative rates..."

The Banks have already confirmed they are ready...

DYOR

Georgewhitebread, Yes good luck....
fwiw i think Starling will IPO sometime this year and will be the first digital bank listed. I hear on a regular basis of someone or a business going over to Starling....definitely one to keep an eye on.

Jan 2020, last year but still..

Georgewhitebread, "For the B of E, Starling’s readiness is irrelevant in comparison to Lloyds"

Did Lloy, as well as others, not approach Starling...i'm not 100% not sure; anyhow i dont think BoE would be requesting this information / confirmation (by a deadline) regarding IT Systems & NiRP just to give them something to do...

...12 Feb.

I do hope travel bans are in place or being planned with the additional C-19 outbreaks taken hold in China once again..

DYOR

maybe the already accelerated path to going digital is about to gather even more momentum to force us to go cashless as mere mortals will not be able to hoard cash....
DYOR

Starling Bank already had systems in place to handle NIRP nevertheless other banks had now reported back to BoE acknowledging that the systems are now in place...

lots of scaremongering regarding NIRP; however there are two sides of the coin, forgive the pun..

"the title is heading to Manchester"...

Leicester City got more chance of wining the Prem before Man Utd.....

"Boris only does the animated hand gestures when he has a live audience. He's more contained when addressing 'the nation'. I've noticed that."

No, Boris does not just sit with his hands clasped, Clinton style, he moves his hands with his trademark fist pointing.....

""The strain, which has also been found in California, Florida and Colorado, is thought to be more transmissible but doesn’t appear to make people more ill or increase the risk of death from Covid-19, experts have said.

The case was identified in a 60-year-old man from Saratoga county who had no prior travel history, Cuomo said during a conference call with reporters. The man worked at a jewelry store where three other people have also tested positive for Covid-19. The state is investigating whether those cases were caused by the new strain.

Cuomo told reporters that the state has conducted about 5,000 tests in search for the new variant, known as B.1.1.7. Cuomo said he believes it’s “much more” widespread than people already know.""
