Secure Trust Bank - Momentum building in Q3
In its Q3 trading update, Secure Trust Bank (STB) disclosed that it is experiencing robust loan growth. New business lending is now above pre-pandemic levels. STB’s core lending book in Q321 rose 3.3% quarter-on-quarter and 7% year-on-year. Motor finance new business grew 15% in just three months. New business lending in the quarter was up 20% and 59% on the previous quarter and 12 months ago. Net loan balances were £2,404m in Q321, which is in line with our end-FY21 forecast of £2,400m. We therefore believe that if STB maintains this growth pace, its loan book is likely to come in 3–5% above our year-end forecasts.
