“This has resulted in high volumes of customer activity, which has in turn enabled RBSI to deliver year on year growth in our income and operating profit.
“Our lending has increased by over £800m vs 2018 with high growth in Institutional and Local Banking. RBSI is a deposit-led business and this increase in lending has been funded by a £1.1bn increase in term and notice deposits compared with 2018.
“It’s great to see that more customers trust us as their provider and I look forward to seeing this grow in 2020.”
