Charter Court Financial Services and OneSavings Bank are in advanced talks about an all-share tie-up, Sky News learns.

OneSavings, which has its origins in the Kent Reliance Building Society and has been backed by the private equity group JC Flowers, has grown successfully in recent years‎ despite rising pressures on the buy-to-let mortgage market.

Mr Golding is expected to become chief executive of the combined group if its merger with Charter Court goes through. Elliott Advisors, the activist investor, remains its largest shareholder and is understood to have given its blessing to the Charter Court deal.
