Capital Network: PCF Group - Funding update

PCF Group ( LON:PCF) has announced that deposit funding from retail investors, which only started in July 2017, has increased substantially again and now exceeds £100m. This compares to previous announcements of £53m at the end of September ‘17, and £81m at the end of February ’18. We estimate that compared to the last reported Group total liability dated September ‘17, the bank now only requires an additional c.£35m of deposit funding to be able to completely replace, should it be desirable to do so, all of the third party bank funding reported at that date. However, whilst funding has grown significantly since the full year results, loans to customers continue to expand also. It is likely therefore that the bank will continue with at least some sort of diversified funding for some time yet to help manage this growth.
