The collapse of Royal Bank of Scotland's sale of 316 branches to Santander pegged back its shares during a strong session for banking peers today.
Barclays was 2.4p higher at 234.6p and Lloyds Banking Group rose 0.4p to 40.1p, but in contrast RBS was 2.1p lower at 268.8p after Santander ran out of patience with the protracted integration process on the £1.65 billion deal.
