The CYBG Plc (ASX: CYB) share price will be on watch after the UK bank released its trading update for the third quarter of 2019.

The reaction is not likely to be good after the UK-listed shares dropped by 9.6% overnight.

A decline in the size of the mortgage book by 0.2% to £60.4 billion and decrease of the net interest margin (NIM) to 1.68% was clearly an unwelcome combination for the bank.

However, it is making progress with its Virgin Money cost synergies, it has delivered annual cost synergies of £45 million so far.
