Ross McEwan, RBS chief executive, said: “This is a symbolic moment for this bank and a clear indication of the progress we continue to make in putting the past behind us, while at the same time investing to build a bank which delivers for both customers and shareholders.
“Our progress over the last few years has given us a stronger platform to compete in a rapidly changing market.
“And with many of our legacy issues behind us, the investment case for this bank is much clearer and the prospect of returning any excess capital to shareholders is getting closer.”
