US probe into RBS exposure
ROYAL Bank of Scotland is being investigated by the US Securities and Exchange Commission over its exposure to American sub-prime mortgages.
Details of the probe are buried in the Edinburgh-headquartered bank's prospectus for its imminent £12 billion rights issue, which is to be put to a vote by shareholders this week.
The inquiry, which started in March, is looking at RBS interests in securities backed by sub-prime home loans, as well as residential mortgages written by American subsidiaries.
