With UK economy not expected to recover before mid-2022, no SME should be facing a doubling of interest rate on CBLIS loans in 12 months' time. Lenders should not be taking advantage of SMEs in this time of crisis. yourmoney.com/credit-cards-l…

Whilst the #BBRS is a step in right direction, a wholesale (enforceable) requirement for banks to act fairly in all their disputes w/ clear guidelines would be a seismic shift. We're calling for the adoption of Australian-style model litigant principles appgbanking.org.uk/letters/

We want to see innovation in the business banking market where #SMEs are put first & supported into accessing most appropriate financial products to enable them to survive their early stages of life and thrive going forward. Good summary of challenge here: news.sky.com/story/uk-chall…

The economic recovery is coming — and it will be powered by micro-businesses We should take pride in the resilience of our entrepreneurs, and support them at this critical time -> buff.ly/36SJMCn #SMEs
