Royal Bank of Scotland has agreed to sell 318 branches to Santander.

苏格兰皇家银行同意向桑德兰银行出让318所分行。

The sale includes 311 RBS-branded branches in England and Wales, and seven NatWest branches in Scotland.

Spain's Santander already owns the former Abbey, Alliance & Leicester and Bradford & Bingley brands in the UK.

RBS was told to sell branches by the European Commission last year to safeguard competition concerns after it was bailed¹ out by the UK government.

The sale is expected to be completed by December 2011.

"This is an important milestone² in our restructuring work and complements³（互补品） the significant momentum⁴ behind our recovery plan overall," said RBS chief executive Stephen Hester.
