SME banking hits the news

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

Financial services hit the headlines this week as Alastair Darling urged British banks to lend more to small firms - it’s an ongoing issue but he’s raised it again.

This is a massive PR challenge for the industry… somehow the banks need to work out how to manage the conflicting demands of rebuilding their balance sheets and freeing up funds to lend to good businesses.  Then they need to communicate to their stakeholders that they’re making every effort to improve the supply of credit to UK firms.  It’s no coincidence that RBS’ new ad campaign focuses on the same issue of lending to SMEs.  There are no easy answers… expect this one to run and run.

I’m starting with the man in the Mirror…

Friday, July 3rd, 2009
Ok, so my headline is a poor tribute to the great Mickey J… but if you want to get in the Daily Mirror, we pulled it off for our client, personal loans sourcing engine www.thelendingwizard.com.  This was a rapid response comment to press reports about the big banks raising rates on personal loans - just shows that if you get the comment out quickly enough, the results will follow!
