For Metro Bank, which in 2010 became the first lender to be granted a high-street banking licence in Britain in 150 years, the profitability status caps over two tumultuous years after an accounting scandal in 2019 prompted probes by UK regulators. "March has been our strongest month of performance since the turnaround commenced," Chief Executive Daniel Frumkin said in a statement. British banks have also seen a profit boost from successive rate hikes by the Bank of England, designed to curb rampant inflation, as they profit on the gap between what they charge on lending and pay out on deposits.

Metro Bank posted a narrower annual loss on Thursday, but said its net interest margin growth will be limited in 2023 as the British mid-sized lender expects fewer base rate moves and inflationary pressures to outweigh its cost initiatives. Banks that saw an increase in their profit amid a rise in interest rates are now struggling with rampant inflationary pressures and a cost-of-living crisis. Metro Bank, which has had a tumultuous few years after an accounting blunder back in 2019 led to fines and probes by the UK regulators, saw its net interest margin - a key measure of profitability - improve by 52 basis points to 1.92% for the year ended Dec. 31.
Bank profits have been lifted by successive rate hikes by the Bank of England, enabling them to make more money on lending to consumers and businesses, despite the threat to the economy posed by elevated levels of inflation. London-based Metro Bank said on Thursday the majority of the loan loss-related provision was due to a 33 million pounds ($39.54 million) increase in impairments on loans to consumers, although the lender added it was yet to see any signs of significant distress among customers. Metro Bank's annual losses fell by about two-thirds in 2022 to 50.6 million pounds.

Metro Bank has been fined £10m by the City watchdog after the lender failed to disclose an accounting blunder to investors.
Two of the bank’s former bosses, chief executive Craig Donaldson and chief financial officer David Arden, have also been given individual fines.

The group set aside another £10m for loans expected to turn sour, but said it was not yet seeing signs of borrower distress in the costs crisis.
Metro Bank said on Wednesday it returned to profit in September by keeping a tight rein on costs and has so far seen no sign of increased stress among its customers as Britain grapples with higher interest rates and an escalating cost of living crisis. The bank set aside a 10 million pound ($11.49 million) provision in case of losses on loans, and it expects its net interest margin to continue to increase through 2023 as interest rates climb. "There has been no deterioration in early warning indicators and no signs of stress or increased delinquency across the customer base," the bank said in third quarter trading update.

Metro Bank, which in 2010 became the first lender to be granted a consumer banking licence in Britain in 150 years, has had a tumultuous two years after an accounting blunder in 2019 led to investigations and fines by UK regulators.
