Following launches in Belgium, Poland and Romania, the model is expanding market by market, with the Netherlands going live as part of a phased international rollout across retail markets. Including customers migrated from existing offerings, there are already 3 million customers enjoying the benefits of the new plans. With over 600bln in Retail banking customer deposits, the move marks an important step in the strategy to evolve from product-based banking towards more relationship-based customer propositions, combining banking, protection and lifestyle benefits within a single offering.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.2% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.2% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risk Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Reported Earnings • May 02
