Ian Hares, chief executive of UKAR, said:"I am pleased with the progress made during the year. In the first half, we completed the transfer of our mortgage servicing operations to Computershare, ensuring continuity of service for customers.
"We also repaid all outstanding secured funding on the B&B and NRAM Balance Sheets, enabling further asset sales, and in March we agreed the first phase of a programme to repay the FSCS loan extended to B&B. These actions are major steps towards realising our objective of reducing the Balance Sheet while continuing to maximise value for the taxpayer.”
