Tesco Bank calls time on mortgages - thousands affected
The bank, which has key operations in Edinburgh and Glasgow, said it was actively exploring options to sell its existing portfolio, which has total lending balances of £3.7 billion.
Gerry Mallon, the chief executive of Tesco Bank, said: “In recent years, challenging market conditions have limited profitable growth opportunities. Our focus is on how we best serve Tesco customers and align our resources effectively to their needs while ensuring that our offer remains sustainable in the long term.
