The Royal Bank of Scotland has reported a pre-tax loss of £1.5bn in the six months to June 30, compared to £794m last year.
The bank has also reported an operating profit of £1.8bn, which is broadly in line with last year's figures.
It said the bill for mis-selling scandals and IT meltdown is £310m – as revealed exclusively by Sky News yesterday.
RBS said it would set aside £125m for software glitch, £50m for interest rate swaps mis-selling, and another £130m more for payment protection insurance (PPI).
The additional hit for mis-selling now takes RBS's total in the PPI scandal to netween £1.2bn and £1.3bn.
The major IT meltdown in June affected account holders at RBS, NatWest and at the Ulster Bank.
