The report confirms that decision-making was consistent with
relevant standards and otherwise appropriate and that there was no
evidence of discrimination due to political views or affiliations,
or any other protected characteristic. However, it identifies
several areas where Coutts' policies and procedures governing exit
decisions could be improved, including the process by which exit
decisions are communicated to customers and the clarity of
communications.</font></div>

"Following the publication of the Phase 1 reports in October, we
recognised the need to improve our customer account closure
processes and those improvements are already well under way.
Although Travers Smith confirm that, in general, decisions were
appropriate and that there was no evidence of discrimination, it is
clear there are lessons to be learned. This report reaffirms that
there were a number of shortcomings in our approach to account
closures at Coutts and, in particular, in the quality and
consistency of our communications. The experience of some of our
customers fell short of what they should expect, and we apologise
to them.</font></div>
