Financials

Our Board is collectively responsible for our long-term success, and for ensuring that the Bank is led within a framework of effective controls. The Board sets our strategic direction, approves our strategy and takes appropriate action to ensure that we have the resources we need to achieve our strategic aspirations.

The Board considers the impact of the decisions it makes, and its responsibilities to all our stakeholders, including colleagues, shareholders, regulators, clients and suppliers, as well as to the environment and the communities where we operate.

Our six Board committees play an important role in supporting the Board. The committees all consist of non-executive directors, and our Board Financial Crime Risk also includes three external advisors.
