July 2018, London: A further 68 companies have signed up to HM Treasury’s Women in Finance Charter, including Global Processing Services, J.P. Morgan, Bupa, Admiral Group, Equifax, Investec Asset Management taking the total number of signatories to 273. This means that the Charter now covers over 760,000 financial services employees in the UK.
John Glen, Economic Secretary to the Treasury said, ‘From banking to asset management, too few women get to the top in financial services. That’s why it’s so important that firms sign our Charter and commit publicly to take action. It’s not just the morally right thing to do; a balanced workforce is good for business, for customers, and for profitability too.’
‘I commend our new signatories for taking a step in the right direction, but of course there is more to do. I urge firms who’ve not already signed our Charter to join us in building a more representative and inclusive industry.’
As recommended in Jayne-Anne Gadhia’s review into the representation of women in financial services, the Women in Finance Charter asks firms to commit to four industry actions to prepare their female talent for leadership positions:
Joanne Dewar, CEO of Global Processing Services (GPS) comments, ‘At GPS we are proud to be leading the way in diversity across all levels and all departments. Signing up to the charter further demonstrates our commitment in supporting diversity and gender inclusion both within our company and in the payments industry as a whole.’

Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.
For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.
The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.
Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.
Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.
