Britons are bracing themselves for a Brexit-related slowdown in 2017 by stashing away cash at increasing rates, according to the latest snapshot from the UK's high street banks.

Personal deposits grew by 4.8% year-on-year in November, figures from the British Bankers' Association (BBA) showed, as people prepared for a tougher year of weaker economic growth and lower wage growth.
