Unlocking Secrets: Insight from the 2011 UK Retail Banking Survey

Introduction

Highlights

A third of mortgage holders are on standard variable rates (SVRs). Nearly half of these consumers reverted to their lenders’ SVRs in 2009 or 2010, indicating the extent to which the low base rate has reduced the incentive for borrowers to remortgage
Consumers are more inclined to research personal loans online than through any other channel. However, when it comes to application and arrangement, face-to-face is still the single most popular means, chosen by a third of borrowers.
There is a high degree of inertia in the UK current account market. Six in 10 consumers have never switched their account, and over half say that they are very unlikely to switch during the next 12 months. Only 3% of account holders claim they are very likely to change their provider over the next year.
