Richard Branson gets into retail banking
Market Watch: Virgin Money enters retail banking with Church House deal
LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Virgin Money on Friday took its first step into the U.K. retail banking market with the acquisition of small regional player Church House Trust for around 12.3 million pounds ($19.6 million).
The deal gives Virgin founder Richard Branson the foothold he has been looking for to begin offering mortgages and deposit accounts in direct competition with the country's more established banks.
