In a world where banks buy banks to the point we have monster banks like Credit Sussie, Chase Bank, etc. typically follows what is happening in other industries.

The manufacturing sector recently announced that Kraft is going to be splitting into smaller companies.

Could you see banking doing something similar?

I don't expect we'll see that happening. All the circumstances in banking favor consolidation. There are economies of scale that come to mind. And there are also regulatory issues, regulators like to see a banking system that's stable and consolidated. There was a lot of talk about breaking up the big banks following the 2008 crisis, but there was never much follow-up on that.

I could see that happening at some point in the future. To piggyback on the 2008 crisis, there was the Dodd-Frank Act, which did limit some risky activity. It didn’t make big banks split, but I could see the potential for it at some point in time.

Interesting thought! Banks have kept getting bigger through mergers, but I could see regulation or market pressures eventually pushing them to split, kind of like what’s happening in other industries.

Out of interest, why are Kraft doing that? I can’t see banks choosing to do it but I can see scenarios where it’s insisted on by shareholders (I.e to split out high profit margin areas)

Based on what I’m seeing, they are splitting down the line between condiments and foods. So maybe profit margins.

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.
