As at 30 June 2018, TSB’s total customer lending was £31.0 billion and total customer deposits stood at £29.6 billion. In addition, its Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio remained at 19.2%.

Paul Pester, TSB Chief Executive Officer, says:  “We’re making progress in resolving the service problems customers experienced following our IT migration, and we will continue to work tirelessly until we have put things right.  I know how frustrated many customers have been by what’s happened.  It was not acceptable, and was not the level of service that we pride ourselves on – nor was it what our customers have come to expect from TSB.

“It has been a difficult time for customers and I am grateful to them for their patience. I would also like to say thank you to our Partners for their enormous efforts.  They have done everything in their power to continue serving our customers, and I am proud to see that the values on which the Bank has been built have shone through during this time.”
