Taking Credit

Nov 23 2008

A FREEZE by the Royal Bank of Scotland on overdraft charges will give small businesses breathing space.

Banks have been accused of cashing in on the credit crunch by increasing the amount they charge.

So it's good to see one take the lead in helping struggling firms.

The decision may be linked to the bank's bailout by the government with £20billion of taxpayers' cash.

But other banks should also offer a helping hand.
