New RBS chief executive Alison Rose has used its 2019 results to set out a new strategy including a plan to rename the bank after its biggest brand NatWest.
Royal Bank of Scotland has reported profits of £3.1bn for 2019, nearly double the £1.6bn in 2018. It also announced a dividend of 8 pence for the fourth quarter.
Ms Rose intends to cut down under-performing investment bank NatWest Markets by reducing its risk weighted assets from £38bn to £20bn.
The bank also pledged to “at least” halve the climate impact of its financing activity by 2030.
