At the moment, a range of Financial Services businesses such as banks, insurance companies and asset managers are able to operate across the EU as long as they have a base in the UK. This is known as passporting.

目前，广大金融服务企业如银行、保险公司及资产管理公司，只要在英国落地，就能在欧盟各地经营。这叫做“通行制度”。

However, if Brexit occurs, passporting into the EU from the UK would not be possible unless special arrangements are put in place. Banks from outside the EU would no longer be free to just set up in the London and gain access to the wider market in the EU. To continue to maintain operations across Europe they would need to set up subsidiaries across mainland Europe in places like France, Germany, Amsterdam and Dublin, potentially, so those cities would actually benefit from taking away financial services from the UK.

但是，如果英国退欧，就不可能利用通行制度从英国进入欧盟，除非有特殊安排。来自欧盟之外的银行就不再能仅在伦敦成立一个机构，就进入更加广阔的欧盟市场。为了能继续在欧盟各地经营，企业需要在欧洲大陆成立子公司，如在法国、德国、阿姆斯特丹，可能乃至都柏林等地，这样这些城市实际上会获益，因为它们承担了英国原有的金融服务。
