Very few people came out well of the Nigel Farage banking scandal – which saw the former Brexit party leader lose his Coutts bank account over his political views. In the end, Farage managed to claim two scalps over the affair, with both NatWest’s and Coutts’ CEOs forced into humiliating resignations.
Still it may be that all is not lost for the NatWest chief – with reports today that she may be in line for a huge payoff.
Despite resigning over what Dame Alison Rose herself admitted to being a ‘serious error in judgement’ – including sharing the personal banking details of the former MEP with a journalist – the bank has announced today that it plans to pay her for the duration of her notice period. The total could amount to £2.4 million, which includes just over £1 million for a year’s salary.
