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.
