Various outlets have tipped Credit Suisse executive Ewen Stevenson as the front runner in the race to be named new finance director at Royal Bank of Scotland.
Mr Stevenson, who is currently head of European Investment Banking at Credit Suisse, was an adviser to The Treasury during the 2008 RBS bail out.
Any appointment would need to be rubber stamped by the Prudential Regulation Authority.
The experienced New Zealand born Mr Stevenson shares the same nationality as current RBS chief executive Ross McEwan.
The bank has been searching for a new finance director since Nathan Bostock announced in the autumn that he planned to resign.
