"The Group has had a good start to the year with Customer Loans and Deposits at the end of April increasing 18% and 37% respectively compared to the same time last year.
In line with the Group's strategy of diversifying the lending businesses, our Asset Based Lending division is now open for business and funded its first client loan last Friday, almost two months ahead of schedule.
