With new entrants and the emergence of new groupings of banks, the UK banking sector is becoming increasingly fragmented.
This is being countered by the continuing trend towards consolidation into larger units through significant M&A activity.
Banks are also increasingly diversifying into new product areas which were fomerly the preserve of seperate institutions.
This coupled with the sector’s use of new technology has created the ‘one-stop-shop’ and has changed the way banks market and deliver their services.
