Fixed income investors
Our objective
We follow the “borrow long, lend short” principle and take a conservative approach to liquidity management, with liquidity levels comfortably ahead of both internal risk appetite and regulatory requirements.
Our Treasury function is focused on managing funding and liquidity to support the Banking businesses, as well as interest rate risk. This incorporates our Savings business, which provides simple and straightforward savings products to both individuals and businesses, whilst being committed to providing the highest level of customer service.

Sources of funding
Our funding base is well diversified, sourced from both wholesale sectors and customer deposits, and has a prudent maturity profile.
Furthermore, we have a range of secured funding facilities including securitisations of our premium and motor finance loan books.
This diversity increases resilience by reducing reliance on any individual source of funding.
