RBS Coutts has added to its growing team on Asia with the appointment of Li Li Seah as head of credit for the region.

"The appointment of a Head of Credit for Asia is an important step in the development of our business. Credit is a key area of our client proposition in Asia," said Nick Pollard, the chief executive officer of RBS Coutts Asia, in a statement.
