Metro Bank Returns to Profit, Eyes Growth on Deregulation Push

Metro Bank Holdings Plc delivered a profit for the first time since 2018 and expects returns to nearly triple by 2028 as the lender benefits from the UK government’s deregulation push.

The bank sees return on tangible equity exceeding 18% by 2028, up significantly from the 6.4% achieved in 2025, according to a Wednesday statement. Adjusted pretax profit reached £98 million ($131 million) in 2025, putting an end to six consecutive years of losses.
