For immediate release

 

SECURE TRUST BANK PLC

Further update relating to FCA Motor Finance redress scheme

Secure Trust Bank PLC ("STB" or the "Group") has undertaken an initial
assessment of the potential impact of the final rules recently announced by
the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") for the industry wide schemes relating
to UK motor finance commissions.

Following this assessment, the Group does not consider that any adjustment to
its motor finance commission provision is currently necessary. While there
have been some welcome developments in the final rules, the ultimate financial
impact remains uncertain due to a number of factors. These include several
areas requiring judgement, the need for further clarification on the
application of the rules, information and assistance required from vehicle
dealers/brokers and the outcome of any legal challenges. The Group continues
to monitor developments closely.

STB believes that its vehicle finance lending was designed to provide
competitive, fair, finance to its selected customer segments. The Group
remains committed to ensuring customers receive appropriate redress where
there has been customer harm from an unfair relationship. However, it
considers that the FCA's approach to assessing unfairness is not aligned with
the Supreme Court judgment in Johnson v FirstRand, where the test for
unfairness is highly fact specific and must take into account all relevant
factors.
