moving to banking - ever possible?
Hi, my brother moved from computer games programming to working in the city about 6 months ago, although for a financial data provider rather than directly for a bank, (pay is bank money though...) but he'll be able to go any where in a year or two with the experience he's getting - so it is...- Alexander Coe

rate cuts in the city.

Extracting/making use of money in business account

Glotel
I've worked through them a couple of years ago… think they are a pretty large and are a bit slow and bureaucratic.
