(Reuters) -Britain’s Secure Trust Bank on Monday said it would need provisions of about 21 million pounds ($28.2 million) for compensating customers of the motor financing mis-selling scandal, roughly 16 million pounds higher than its previous projection.
The increase in provisions would reduce Secure Trust’s CET1 ratio – a closely watched measure of spare cash at banks – by about 50 basis points to 12.8%, the company added.
