HSBC, Barclays, Lloyds and RBS dominate highstreet banking in the UK. The latter two are now effectively owned by the UK Government, but likely to be sold back into the private sector in the next 5 yrs. As such they are places under the same pressure as other banks but also find sacking people politically difficult so may operate at a premium (weird as it sounds) for jobseekers. There are credit unions in the UK, but they are usually known as Building Societies, and have largely turned into banks proper over the last 15 yrs. Birmingham is the second biggest city in the UK - not that you may notice it there(!) - so there are loads of branches of banks. Try going to the websites of the institutions named above and see what vacancies they have...below see the link to HSBC's portal where you can search for jobs in Birmingham.

We have credit unions :) it's not so bad.
