Our optimized pillar is focused on improving returns, which we're progressing across a number of initiatives, including the organic shift in the mix of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet.

The next step in exploring off balance sheet partnerships with forward flow agreements to scale customer growth and non-interest income.
