Secure Trust Bank PLC | Pillar 3 Disclosures for the period ended 30 June 2023 |
1. Overview
1.1 Background
This document sets out the Pillar 3 disclosures for Secure Trust Bank PLC and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') as at 30 June 2023. Pillar 3 disclosures promote market discipline and consistency through a set of prescribed requirements set out within the UK Capital Requirements Regulation ('CRR') which specifically require the Group to publicly disclose details of key capital positions semi-annually.
1.2 Regulatory framework
Basel III consists of the UK CRR and the Capital Requirements Directive ('CRD'). On departure of the UK from the European Union ('EU') the CRD was retained in UK law. In October 2021 the Prudential Regulatory Authority ('PRA') published its final rules for implementing the remaining Basel III standards into the UK prudential regulatory framework, the UK CRR, PS22/21 'Implementation of Basel standards: Final rules', effective from 1 January 2022. The UK CRR is split across the PRA Rulebook and primary legislation.
1.3 Basis of disclosures
The disclosures have been prepared for the Group in accordance with the Disclosure (CRR) Part of the PRA Rulebook and the Group's approved policy, which facilitates compliance with regulatory requirements and describes the internal controls and processes that support preparation of this document.
The Group has assessed itself as 'small and non-complex' based on the criteria prescribed in the UK CRR (Article 4(145)), thus complying with the requirements incorporated in the PRA Rulebook under Article 433b.
The disclosures cover all applicable Pillar 3 qualitative and quantitative disclosure requirements and, where appropriate, supplementary information and cross referencing has been added for the purposes of enhancing the readability and understandability of these disclosures.
The disclosures portray the Group's risk profile, no material disclosures have been omitted and no information excluded on the grounds of proprietary or confidentiality.
The Group adopts the standardised approach to calculate the capital requirements for credit risk, operational risk and counterparty credit risk.
Regulatory capital ratios are calculated on both a Group and an Individual Consolidated (or 'solo') basis. The Group has permission to include all Group entities within the Individual Consolidation. The basis of consolidation for the Group is the same for accounting and prudential purposes.
1.4 Content of Report and Frequency
The Pillar 3 disclosures are issued every six months at the same time as the Group's Interim Report or Annual Report and Accounts. Where there is a material change in any approach used for the calculation of capital, the business structure or regulatory requirements, the frequency of disclosure will be reviewed.
Note the comparative figures are as published in the prior period where applicable and, where disclosures are new, the Group has not restated or provided prior period comparatives. Furthermore, where specific rows and columns in the tables prescribed by the PRA are not applicable, these are omitted.

1.5 Media and location
Pillar 3 disclosures are published on the Secure Trust Bank PLC corporate website (www.securetrustbank.com/investors).
1.6 Verification
The disclosure guidance within the PRA Rulebook requires creation of a formal Pillar 3 disclosures reporting policy and the Board has put this policy in place. The policy is reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Executive Risk Committee.
The Interim Pillar 3 disclosures are subject to review by the Audit Committee and approval by Board in conjunction with the Group's Interim Report.
The Chief Financial Officer attests that the disclosures have been prepared in accordance with the approved Pillar 3 disclosures policy which conforms with the Disclosure part of the PRA Rulebook. The Group has operated a framework of disclosure controls, procedures and governance throughout the period, in order to ensure the completeness and accuracy of the Group's Pillar 3 disclosures.
The disclosures have not been, and are not required to be, subject to independent external audit and do not constitute any part of the Group's Interim Report.
