Summary

Goodbye Halifax! It’s being scrapped by Lloyds after 173 years. But why would you kill off one of Britain’s best known and trusted banking brands? Georgie Frost, Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert discuss the end of a very familiar name and talk through the history of what started out as a building society... and ask: is another historic name next? Also, Britons suffer the sharpest drop in wealth of any developed nation - what’s behind it and can we arrest the decline? The pensions gender pay gap is still big according to a whole raft of data. We share some key ways that women can boost their pensions… And finally, the secrets to selling on Vinted are revealed by someone who is raking in £12,000 a month selling old clothes.
