Frequently asked questions

  • In the first quarter of 2026, we once again delivered sustained strength in financial performance, with continued growth in income, ongoing cost discipline and strong asset quality. We have a resilient business model that positions us well in the context of the current macroeconomic environment. 

  • Our financial performance gives us confidence in the outlook for our business. We are reiterating our 2026 guidance, including a modest increase in net interest income.

  • Going forward, given the Board’s continued confidence in capital generation, the Group intends to consider additional capital distributions in addition to the ordinary dividend twice per year, starting in mid 2026. We still remain committed to paying down to our target CET1 ratio of around 13.0% by end of 2026.

  • In 2026, we entered the final year of our five-year strategic plan, continuing to scale the core business, driving growth in high value areas, deepening customer relationships and strengthening cross-Group collaboration. Strong strategic momentum means we now expect to generate around £2 billion of additional revenues from strategic initiatives by the end of 2026, exceeding our initial £1.5 billion target.

    Further details on our strategic progress will be provided at our half year results on 30 July 2026, alongside the release of our new strategy.
