A Scottish central bank will need to be set up to oversee the creation of a new Scottish currency. It will be the competent authority providing regulatory oversight of the banking system.

Several concurrent activities would then follow to deliver the new banking system:

  • Issuing Scottish banking licences and creating a commercial banking system;
  • Setting up a Scottish Payments System.
  • Creating a Scottish Universal Bank Account for all people in Scotland to provide the resilience that is missing in the UK banking system
