- Motion reference: S5M-02397
That the Parliament congratulates 17-year-old Kaelin Farnish on successfully campaigning to be given the option of opening a bank account under a non-binary gender identity; understands that the decision of Metro Bank UK to provide customers and colleagues with this option, and the title, Mx, makes it the first bank in the UK to offer an inclusive service to customers and staff regardless of gender identity, and urges all banks, and other organisations, to adopt a similar gender-inclusive approach to their customer service and organisational culture.
