People queuing at a branch of the Northern Rock bank in Brighton on 14 September 2007.
In 2008 the Northern Rock bank was nationalised by the British government, due to financial problems caused by the subprime mortgage crisis. In 2010 the bank was split into two parts (assets and banking) to aid the eventual sale of the bank back to the private sector.
On 14 September 2007, the bank sought and received a liquidity support facility from the Bank of England,[1] as a result of its exposure in the credit markets, during the 2008 financial crisis.[2][3] On 22 February 2008 the bank was taken into state ownership. The nationalisation followed two unsuccessful bids to take over the bank, neither being able to fully commit to repayment of savers' and investors' money.[4][5]
In 2012 Virgin Money completed the purchase of Northern Rock from UK Financial Investments (UKFI) for approximately £1 billion and by October of that year the high street bank operated under the Virgin Money brand.[6][7][8]
