[pvb] 10/8/2018 18:26

How big is bnc exposure to Italy?French banks down as large creditors. Risk needs to be priced in. Perhaps it now is

[solomon] 29/5/2018 10:06

Customers suing Banco Pop for excessive charges?
Exposure in Italy?

[wad collector] 29/5/2018 10:04

Q1 results are strong , but I presume the share price plunge is related to the merger with Banco Populaire. Wonder why that is bad.

Banco Santander S.A. 3Q2017 results press release

[pvb] 27/7/2017 23:29

So new shares issued start trading on 31 July.

[solomon] 27/7/2017 20:28

The rights issue was 8 times over-subscribed and the share price didn't change much during the subscription period. Amazing!! Not Amazon amazing but for a big bank to easily increase its capital by 10% is not to be sniffed at.

[solomon] 23/7/2017 17:20

I applied for 50 extra shares, not thinking that they would be granted, but it looks like they have been allocated to me (at least the money has been taken). Perhaps I should have asked for more. Price was £4.33

[pvb] 20/7/2017 21:28

Anyone subscribe for any excess?

[solomon] 20/7/2017 15:16

Looks like my rights have been upheld in TDW and HL. TDW took the payment out of my Euro stash which took me by surprise since I hadn't funded that account adequately.

I never touched B&B after they floated - as far as I can remember. Building societies turned banks were managed by people not used to the ways of a bank but very keen on the salaries. Bit like the Co-op a a few years ago (ref Paul Flowers). There was a touch of sarcasm in my post which was not obvious from the words!

I was a carpetbagger, back in the good old days!

Um... The "good old days"?

I confess I too carpet bagged (but not Abbey Nat, or Halifax - before my time as it were) back in the "good old days". Though I never agreed with it at the time. Always thought it would just end up with a few Big Banks and then: "where would we be?", I asked.

Well we know now! Don't we?

Where are they now, all those old established Building Societies and mutuals looking forward to a bright shining future as PLCs? (And big bonuses for their directors?)

Abbey National, A&L, Birmingham & Midshires, Bradford & Bingley, Bristol & West, Cheltenham & Gloucester, Halifax, National & Provincial, Northern Rock(!), TSB, The Woolwich...



What greater 'tribute' could there be to populist thinking? :-)

(A little bit of politics!)

[keyno] 14/7/2017 14:20

It probably costs Santander proportionally a lot to keep A&L/Abbey Nat. legatees like myself going in bits of paper so they pay the cheapest sum possible to Equiniti to do the work. This is one result though I have to say I can't complain about the punctuality of divs. etc. I was a carpetbagger, back in the good old days!

[solomon] 14/7/2017 14:15

Come to think of it the Santander Nominee Service run by Equiniti are the only nominees I am hearing of that don't offer the option to take up the rights and receive shares. That's a cutting indictment of Santander's own registrars(?). Perhaps Equiniti is just too small. I have had a really bad experience with them when trying to sell a certificated holding through them some years ago.

[pvb] 14/7/2017 13:03

Um... One thing this brings up is that of below the radar differences in various nominee accounts.

I am/was intending to move my ISAs to another provider, but then you realise you never seem to know the full fine details of the various accounts on offer.

[solomon] 14/7/2017 11:42

I hold BNC in TDW and have taken up the opportunity to subscribe in both trading and ISA accounts. Family members also hold in HL and have taken up the offer.
I inherited some BNC held in Equiniti-related nominee. Those are not eligible for take up.
Walker Cripps are offering the opportunity to take the cash (subject to the rights being sold in the market), or subscribe, or do nothing (rights lapse - which seems to be a poor option).
