Access to Banking Review report
Thursday 1st October, 2026
The Access to Banking Review is an independent inquiry, chaired by Richard Lloyd OBE, that will publish by October 2026 recommendations for the UK Government on how bank branch closures and the move to digital banking affect people and communities, potentially prompting regulatory or legislative changes under the Financial Services and Markets Bill. This gives you a chance to comment on how Wise’s low‑cost digital cross‑border services and multi‑currency accounts support financial inclusion and access to alternatives in the UK as policymakers consider protections for customers left behind by branch closures and digital shifts.
Why have we flagged this?
Strong fit — Wise can credibly argue its digital, low‑cost services and multi‑currency accounts help people cut costs and access banking alternatives as branches close, offering spokespeople, customer stories and data to influence policymakers and press conversations.
