LONDON, Oct 21 (Reuters) - Britain's Metro Bank
reported a 2% increase in lending for the third quarter, while
deposits remained flat as it grapples with the impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic.
The lender did not provide an update on its bottom line,
after it swung to a 240 million pounds ($311.52 million) loss in
the first six months of the year following provisions to cover
expected loan losses.
