Martin Lewis: ‘[The Banks] need to come to the public’s aid’
Martin Lewis urges banks to not increase their profit margins, as interest rates rise for the 13th time in a row.
According to the IFS, these rises could mean 1.4 million mortgage holders could lose a fifth of their disposable income - “times are difficult for the public right now,” Martin said.
He told 5 Live’s Nihal Arthanayake, “[banks] are making increased profits, that is wrong… they need to come to the public’s aid”.
Martin suggested banks should “up interest rates for savers” and put money aside for forbearance.
