NIM - the difference between savings and loan rates - came in at 3.33% at September, against the bank's range of 3% - 3.25%.
Net loans for the quarter fell 3% to £8.8bn, while deposits declined 15% to £13.2bn year on year.
The bank, which has switched focus to small and medium-sized businesses, said lending in target areas, including corporate, commercial, and specialist mortgages, increased 12% versus the first half of 2025.
"We expect further expansion over the next years, and the Q3 results give us added comfort that the story is evolving ahead of our growth expectations. We have slightly increased our estimates for FY25 on the back of these positive results," analysts at Edison research.
