A multi-billion pound case involving Barclays, Lloyds, and NatWest is set to reach the Supreme Court, stemming from consumer claims against lenders for undisclosed broker commissions in motor finance products. The Court of Appeal previously ruled such commissions unlawful unless transparently disclosed, a decision now under appeal. Analysts warn that a broad ruling could impact mortgage lenders, as many past broker remuneration arrangements may not comply with current standards.
UK banks, including Barclays, Lloyds, and NatWest, are set to gain over £50bn from structural hedging, a strategy that manages interest rate risk through interest rate swaps. This approach, particularly the "caterpillar" hedge, allows banks to stabilize revenues and predict profitability amid fluctuating rates. Analysts highlight the varying strategies among banks, with Lloyds employing a dynamic method, while Barclays and NatWest favor a more mechanical approach, positioning them well for future interest rate changes.
Santander has significantly expanded its US investment banking operations, increasing staff from 900 to about 1,300, largely through hiring former Credit Suisse bankers. The firm has focused on leveraged finance, completing 110 deals this year, and aims to enhance its market position while maintaining its culture. Despite upfront costs and a recent pretax loss in the US arm, the investment bank has become a crucial revenue contributor, accounting for nearly 14% of the group"s income.
