Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) has set aside another STG2 billion ($A4.09 billion) to cover past mistakes as part of a raft of mammoth financial provisions.
The Edinburgh-based lender said it was putting aside STG1.5 billion to cover expected legal action on US residential mortgage-backed securities, as well as STG500 million extra for payment protection insurance (PPI) mis-selling compensation.
RBS said it was also pumping another STG4.2 billion into its pension scheme.
Ross McEwan, chief executive of RBS, said: "I am determined to put the issues of the past behind us and make sure RBS is a stronger, safer bank.
"We will now continue to move further and faster in 2016 to clean-up the bank and improve our core businesses."
