"Malcolm Le May, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"I am pleased to announce that the Group's application to the PRA for a large exposure waiver has been approved. This will allow us to leverage our existing access to retail deposit funding, through Vanquis Bank, to fund all our lending products going forwards, including vehicle finance. This is an important part of our stated strategy of becoming a fully-fledged banking group and highlights the inherent competitive advantage we have of holding a banking licence. As we said with our H1'22 results, we will transition towards having a funding model which is predominantly retail deposit funded whilst maintaining the appropriate diversity of liquidity sources.""
