Virgin Money sale nets Branson £420m payday

Nationwide, the UK's largest mutual financial services group, said acquiring Britain's sixth biggest retail bank would create a bigger, stronger rival to the major high street competitors.

It added the deal would also give it the financial resources to offer more competitive mortgage and savings rates.

The takeover marks the second big pay-off for entrepreneur Sir Richard, 73, whose Virgin Group owns 14% of the London Stock Exchange-listed bank.
