Andy Golding, CEO of OneSavings Bank, said:“I am delighted that we successfully completed our combination with Charter Court Financial Services Group on 4 October and we are now in the early stages of integrating the two businesses. We remain focused on delivering shareholder value as we execute on the strategy for the enlarged Group.Continued strong performance from both groups in the first nine months of the year delivered 15% net loan book growth for OSB and 21% for CCFS, excluding the impact of structured asset sales. Both banks’ lending franchises are performing very well with strong levels of applications at attractive margins across our core product types building a robust pipeline for Q1 2020.In addition to strong retail savings franchises, we have excellent capabilities in the securitisation market which allow us to diversify our funding. I am pleased that in July 2019, OSB securitised £500m of organically originated mortgages under our newly established Canterbury Finance RMBS programme, which was well received in the market. During the quarter, Charter Mortgages Limited successfully sold a residual interest in the Precise Mortgage Funding 2019-1B plc, which generated a pre-tax gain of £28.8m.We remain cognisant of the continued uncertain macroeconomic and political outlook, however we believe that as a combined business we are well placed to continue to deliver on our strategy and generate attractive shareholder returns through the cycle.”Enquiries:OneSavings Bank plcAlastair Pate t: 01634 838 973Brunswick GroupRobin Wrench / Simone Selzer t: 020 7404 5959Financial calendar for 2020 ** All dates are subject to changeAbout OneSavings Bank plcOneSavings Bank plc (OSB) began trading as a bank on 1 February 2011 and was admitted to the main market of the London Stock Exchange in June 2014 (OSB.L).
