I've worked in banks and financial institutions before, and I have never heard of it being policy to make staff have a primary bank account with the bank that they work for. RBS group appear to have gone mad:
The Royal Bank of Scotland Group (RBS) has warned its UK staff that they must have their primary bank account with the firm or face disciplinary action.
In a letter obtained by union Amicus, a senior executive told staff salaries must be paid into an RBS-run account.
"Failure to do so will represent a breach of group policy," it said.
Nuts, completely and utterly nuts. I wonder, really, how that can possibly be enforced. I mean, it's a personal choice to make as to where your bank account is, and presumably if they're going to declare about it being against policy then they would have to put it in your employment contract. It all seems a bit dubious and, quite frankly, stupid.
The big banks in this country have gone power hungry and mad.
