Reacting to the final results of the United Kingdom referendum on membership of the European Union.
Wim Mijs, Chief Executive of the European Banking Federation, says:
“A significant amount of contingency planning has already been undertaken by the European banking industry. Banks will now assess what the result means in the long term. Our industry will now be working towards an orderly transition to minimise impact on the market in the UK and the EU, as well on the wider European economy.
As representatives of the European banking sector we can assure customers and businesses that their banking services will continue as normal. Our sector remains committed to cross‐ border cooperation in Europe.”
