Secure Trust Bank ( (GB:STB) ) has shared an update.
Secure Trust Bank PLC (STB) is responding to a Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) consultation paper proposing a redress scheme for motor finance commissions. The bank anticipates increasing its provision for motor finance redress by approximately £16 million, bringing the total to £21 million, due to the potential broadening of the redress scheme’s scope. The FCA’s proposal, which is still under consultation, could significantly impact STB’s financials, reducing its Common Equity Tier 1 ratio by about 50 basis points to 12.8%, though still above the regulatory requirement. STB has expressed concerns that the FCA’s approach to assessing unfairness does not align with a recent Supreme Court judgment and plans to engage with the FCA for further discussions.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:STB) stock is a Hold with a £1029.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Secure Trust Bank stock, see the GB:STB Stock Forecast page.
