Tesco Bank H1 statutory group profit is down 19% year-on-year to £68m for the six months to end August.

Operating profit before exceptional items is up by 6% y-o-y to £89m.

Tesco Bank H1 exceptionals relate mainly to the £16m provision agreed with the FCA following an online fraudulent attack on Tesco Bank in November 2016.

In addition, Tesco is setting aside a further £7m for PPI claims.

Active customer account numbers are down by 1% year-on-year.  Growth in credit cards, loans and mortgages are more than offset by a decline in car insurance policies, reflecting a highly competitive insurance market.

Margin pressure results in a 20 basis point fall in net interest margin to 3.8%.
