moneysupermarket.com: UK online banking figures

Commenting on figures showing the number of people in the UK banking online has increased to 21 million, Kevin Mountford, head of current accounts at moneysupermarket.com, said: "Clearly there is demand for online day-to-day banking services and this is being heavily pushed by most banks as it greatly cuts their operational costs. However, it is a shame the industry cannot do more to inject confidence and support this trend by providing a more effective and easier way to open new accounts online."
