The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) won’t be moving now that Scotland voted against separation.
“The announcement we made about moving our registered head office to England was part of a contingency plan to ensure certainty and stability for our customers, staff and shareholders should there be a ‘Yes’ vote,” says a company statement. “That contingency plan is no longer required.”
RBS says it will be business as usual for all its customers across the United Kingdom.
Meanwhile, Standard Life will consider the implications of any constitutional changes for our customers and other stakeholders in our business to ensure their interests are represented and protected.
“We recognize that further constitutional change is very likely following the clear result of the referendum,” says a statement from the company.
Both companies announced plans to move their headquarters to England in the case of a Yes vote.
