London - Royal Bank of Scotland will pay $615 million to US and British authorities to settle allegations it manipulated key interest rate benchmarks including the London interbank offered rate (Libor).
The bank said on Wednesday John Hourican, head of RBS's investment bank had agreed to leave following the misconduct of staff in that business.
