Published: 12:48 12 Dec 2017 GMT
PCF Group Plc (LON:PCF) announced full year results to the end of September 2017, on the 5th December. The newly established specialist bank, which only received UK regulatory approval to accept retail deposits in July, has delivered a strong set of results, exceeding market expectations and beating our forecast for portfolio asset growth by £1m. The recent strategy to diversify funding away from wholesale bank funding has paid dividends with a stunning £53m raised in retail deposits in a little over 2 months.
Executive summary
Turning lastly to funding and the macro environment, PCF are currently only operating with new funding drawn from consumer retail deposits which have proved popular with savers who lent £53m at a blended rate of just over 2.0%. In the near future the Group are planning to extend deposit taking to business banking customers where economic to do so. In the meantime, retail deposits will continue to both pay down wholesale market debt and support new business lending. The Bank of England’s recent increase in base rates has had no impact on the existing portfolio, but future terms will reflect the higher market rates for new business.
