Compared to the first half of 2016, the company’s customer loans jumped 34% to £879m and customer deposits increased 31% to £1.23bn.

Arbuthnot chairman and CEO Sir Henry Angest said: “The Group has made good progress in its plans to diversify, the Renaissance Asset Finance acquisition has been completed and the Commercial Banking business is gaining momentum. It is also pleasing to see customer deposits and assets under management pass the significant milestone of £1 billion for the first time. However, with uncertain economic and political times ahead we remain cautious in our decision making.”
