    Perfection of a security interest in a cash collateral account
    2008-10-14

    Banks have a recognized right to set off amounts owing by the bank to its customer (i.e. a credit balance in the customer’s bank account) against the customer’s debt to the bank. However, banks frequently wish to have the additional comfort of obtaining a security interest in the customer’s credit balance in a designated bank account. Banks frequently refer to this security as a pledge of cash collateral.

    2011-11-25

    BIS and Treasury have published their response to the consumer credit elements of the Government review of consumer credit and personal insolvency. The response explains the initiative that will ensure that over 85% of customers with personal current accounts will see clearer, fairer and more manageable charges for unarranged overdrafts. Customers will be able to get alerts when their balance is low and will not incur a fee if they exceed their limit by a small amount. Also, from late 2013 there will be guaranteed account switching within seven days.

    Project bank accounts: making payment fair
    2019-02-14

    A year after its collapse, Carillion's insolvency continues to haunt both its supply chain and the wider UK construction industry. Many of those left unpaid had spent months chasing Carillion for payment, all the while staving off payment demands from others. Overnight, their debts became unsecured. The flow of cash from Carillion that would have paid its supply chain dried up. A cascade of consequential insolvencies was inevitable.
