According to the information, the share price of the UK bank has dropped by almost 90% when it disclosed an almost £1 billion accounting error in 2019. In February 2020, it announced a £130.8 million pre-tax loss last year, compared to £40.6 million pre-tax profit in 2018. Besides, Metro Bank’s deposits fell by 8% to £14.48 billion.

Goldman Sachs revealed to built up 6.18% in Metro voting rights attached to shares, and a further $2.30 through financial instruments, leaving it with a total of 8.48%.
