About this update from Secure Trust Bank Plc
PRESS RELEASE Secure Trust Bank PLC 29 June 2026 For immediate release SECURE TRUST BANK PLC Launch of £10 million Share Buyback Programme Secure Trust Bank PLC ("STB"), a leading specialist lender, is pleased to announce, following the receipt of regulatory approval, the launch of an initial £5 million (the "Initial Amount") share buyback programme (the "Buyback Programme").
