The fallout continues following the resignation of NatWest CEO Dame Alison Rose.
She has stepped down after admitting to being the source of an inaccurate story about Nigel Farage’s finances.
Dame Alison said she made a “serious error of judgement” when she discussed Mr Farage’s relationship with private bank Coutts, owned by NatWest Group, with a BBC journalist.
The affair has opened a rare door into the workings of high-end finances, raised questions over how banks handle controversial customers, and ultimately led to the resignation of the most powerful woman in a male-dominated sector.
Speaking on The Leader podcast, the Evening Standard’s Financial Editor Simon English discusses whether there will be more resignations in the wake of Nigel Farage’s bank account closure, what the debacle means for Dame Alison and banks in general, and whether we should have a right to a bank account.
