Banking Giants Barclays and Standard Chartered Beat Profit Expectations

Barclays reports a 27% YoY rise in Q1 net profit of £1.78 billion ($2.2 billion), beating expectations, with income from its consumer, cards and payments division rising 47%. The bank also flagged £500 million in credit impairment charges, partly due to higher US card balances. Barclays UK's income was up 19% due to improved net interest income. The bank remains on track to deliver its 2023 targets, with all performance metrics in line with or ahead of guidance.
