Retail banking in the UK is not competitive enough, a Commons Treasury committee report has concluded.
The cross-party group of MPs said there was a lack of price transparency between current accounts at different banks and it was too difficult for customers to move their accounts.
The committee said similar barriers existed for small business customers.
The British Bankers' Association said the industry was working with regulators to improve competition.
