Royal Bank of Scotland will transfer business that accounts for around 20% of its investment banking revenue to Amsterdam if the UK leaves the EU with no exit deal, the bank said on December 6.

The government-owned bank, which has already established a significant presence in Amsterdam as a Brexit precaution, said today that up to 30% of its Natwest Markets clients would be affected by a disorderly no-deal exit.
