As Britain begins negotiations with Brussels on their post-EU relationship, the banking sector is left like the child of a long, ugly divorce.

If the UK does not settle passporting rights and regulatory equivalencies for the interim, this uncertainty could lead to a mass relocation for banking institutions and potentially a decentralisation of operations.

The question whether to ‘leave’ or ‘stay’ now lies with the banks, and in the worst case scenario, it will mean the choice of either EU or UK, not both.
