Well now that they've repaid the loan are they still nationalised or are they now a plc/private company again?
Also, now that they have repaid the loan surely they can now begin offering more deals than just a single above average SVR for existing customers.

Very well done indeed.
It is the only organisation I know which has managed a forced ownership and at the same time force the new owners to pay them bonuses.
I need some of those business ideas.

Does this mean I will get a bonus when I have repaid my mortgage?

Also they have not paid off the full loan, only 25%......
Another bonus at 50% ?. Why not, it is only taxpayers money | |

I'd like to get a loan where I get a bonus for meeting my repayments, I wonder where I can find one of these.

If the Northern Rock staff have managed to turn things around so quickly, I'd say they actually deserve the bonus.
Most people expect a payrise for continuing to do their job just (as badly) as they always have done... at least the (remaining) staff at Northern Rock have earned theirs!
This to me is a success story, everything with regards to the Northern Rock bailout is going according to plan.
Result. | |
