Is there any point trying to make people switch bank? This is Money Show

Yes, it's just what we've all been waiting for - another report on the banks. This week, the CMA delivered its recommendations to shake up the current account market. Were they any good? And should we even bother trying? After all, the banks themselves already offer us free money, savings account-smashing interest rates and lots of other goodies. Simon Lambert and Rachel Rickard Straus, join Georgie Frost in the Share radio studio for the This is Money Show to talk banks and much more. Also on today's show, we ask if now is the time to buy a bargain property as Brexit worries deliver price cuts, whether Help to Buy needs to be axed and if a fixed rate mortgage still beats a tracker. Simon also has an idea for a new Office of Budget Simplicity designed to cut through daft ideas like the family home inheritance tax break.
