Fees and commissions which are an integral part of the effective interest rate form part of net interest income shown in note 5. Fees and
commissions relating to instruments that are held at fair value through profit or loss are included within net trading income shown in
note 7.
In determining the disaggregation of fees and commissions the Group has considered how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of
revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. It has determined that the above disaggregation by product type provides useful
information that does not aggregate items that have substantially different characteristics.
At 31 December 2025, the Group held on its balance sheet £174 million (31 December 2024: £163 million) in respect of services provided to
customers and £92 million (31 December 2024: £75 million) in respect of amounts received from customers for services to be provided after
the balance sheet date. Current unsatisfied performance obligations amount to £207 million (31 December 2024: £195 million); the Group
expects to receive substantially all of this revenue by the end of 2027.
Income recognised during the year included £30 million (2024: £28 million) in respect of amounts included in the contract liability balance
at the start of the year and £nil (2024: nil) in respect of amounts from performance obligations satisfied in previous years.
The most significant performance obligations undertaken by the Group are in respect of current accounts, the provision of other banking
services for commercial customers and credit and debit card services.
In respect of current accounts, the Group receives fees for the provision of bank account and transaction services such as ATM services,
fund transfers, overdraft facilities and other value-added offerings.
For commercial customers, alongside its provision of current accounts, the Group provides other corporate banking services including
factoring and commitments to provide loan financing. Loan commitment fees are included in fees and commissions where the loan is not
expected to be drawn down by the customer.
The Group receives interchange and merchant fees, together with fees for overseas use and cash advances, for provision of card services to
cardholders and merchants.
