Six major banks including Royal Bank of Scotland and Barclays face huge fines for rigging the ‘Wild West’ foreign currency market.

The lenders held secret talks with the City watchdog this week to try to thrash out a deal.

Those also involved in the negotiations are understood to include HSBC, US banks Citigroup and JPMorgan and Swiss lender UBS.

The fines are expected to be confirmed simultaneously, with the total bill set to be as high as £2billion and one bank facing a fine of between £300million and £400m.

Regulators in the United States, Asia and Europe suspect traders conspired to fix the £3trillion-a-day ‘FX’ market by rigging rates used when buying and selling currencies.

Martin Wheatley, of the Financial Conduct Authority, has previously warned the foreign exchange allegations are ‘every bit as bad as they have been with Libor’.
