United Kingdom Q3 Tender

The detailed local lending data which forms part of a joint data reporting exercise with UK Finance and other major UK banks gives a snapshot of lending balances in 120 postcode areas across Great Britain and around 10000 postcode sectors at the end of September 2018.RBS lent a total of over 169bn in mortgages personal loans and business loans to small and medium sized enterprises SMEs. Mortgages make up the largest element of this total with 136.4bn in lending followed by SME lending at 27.1bn and then personal lending with 6.4bn.This joint data reporting exercise is intended to provide greater transparency and help deliver a detailed picture of the borrowing landscape across the country. Our drive for transparency is balanced with ensuring our customers confidentiality. Therefore along with other banks we have withheld postcode sector data which would risk disclosure of any individual customers borrowing.
